Confidence is the outcome of taking action, regardless of how you feel.

Take the next level by storm.

Don't wait for confidence to magically appear so you can take action.

Take the next level by storm.

Hi, I'm Sarah.

Let me ask you a few questions:

  • Do you wish you had more executive presence?
  • Is your answer to burnout to just work harder to “get it all done?”
  • Do you make up for a lack of confidence by over-preparing for your meetings?
  • Are you a chronic people pleaser?
  • Do you struggle to speak up and advocate for yourself?

Guess what? You’re not alone. I have been in your shoes. And so have my clients. We’ve all made life-changing shifts, and you can too. Here are some examples of what’s possible:

  • Establish clear boundaries so work doesn’t feel like a one-sided sacrifice.
  • Earn well-deserved raises and noteworthy promotions.
  • Create the role you’ve always wanted—that aligns with your goals and benefits the organization.
  • Pitch career-making projects with confidence, conviction and strength.
  • Create lasting habits to support the life you want to live.
  • Ditch the Imposter Syndrome.
  • Master the ability to communicate with clarity and confidence.
  • Cultivate the skills to exude executive presence and influence.

It’s time to step out of your comfort zone, and put yourself at the top of your priority list.

Figuring it Out is NOT a leadership strategy

Here’s a question for you: When things go sideways, and you’re not sure what to do, who you gonna call? 😉 If you’re like many leaders, your instinct might be to keep your head down and grind your way through it solo. Even typing that sounds painful! And yet, it’s pretty common: This notion of “I’ll figure it out!” may be one of the most terrible leadership strategies I’ve seen (both firsthand and in others.) OK, yes, maybe it’s served you well in the past because that was the only strategy available at the time. But it’s not doing you or your leadership effectiveness any favors today.  The most successful leaders—you know them, those people who seemingly navigate challenges with ease?— don’t do it alone. And neither should you. So, what’s the alternative? Get yourself a “Board of Directors” (I affectionately call mine the “What the F*** Do I Do Now?” Board.)  Similar to the board of any corporation, a BOD is a network of trusted advisors who can offer support, keep you accountable,  and help you navigate the complexities of life, work, and leadership. These aren’t just friends or family members (though they might play a role). These are people who can and will: None of us are experts across the board. Which is why it’s vital to build a support system that helps fill in the gaps and empowers you to move forward with clarity and ease.   We live in a world that glorifies self-reliance, but leadership is a team sport. Your relationships are one of the greatest currencies you have as a leader. When you lean into your BOD, you’re availing yourself of wisdom and thought leadership that positions you for long-term success. How to Build Your Board Building a Board of Directors is easier than you think. Here are four simple steps to get started: ➡️ Decide Where You Could Benefit from Help Think about the gaps you’re facing in your life or leadership. Are you looking for strategic advice? Emotional support? Candor? The answer will help you identify who to include. Common areas people look for support include work/life integration, wellness, emotional health, finances, functional expertise, or skill expertise, to name a few. ➡️ Look Beyond Your Inner Circle While your closest friends might be great at lifting you up, think more expansively about mentors, colleagues, or people in your network—internally and externally—who have experience in areas where you’re looking to grow. ➡️ Ask for What You Need Be specific when you reach out. Let people know what you’re doing and why you’ve identified them specifically for their support. You’ll also want to set expectations as to how often or in what capacity you’ll be asking for assistance. Will you convene your whole board on a quarterly basis? Do you anticipate calling people only as things come up? Help people understand the support you’re looking for and how you anticipate tapping into them. ➡️ Keep the Relationship Two-Way Great relationships are reciprocal. Make sure you’re giving back in ways that are meaningful to your advisors, whether it’s sharing resources, offering encouragement, or simply asking how you can support them. Who are the people you trust to challenge, encourage, and help you see what’s possible? And what’s your plan for reaching out? 🙂

How to Lead Authentically Without Copying Others

In 2016, Spotify launched “Wrapped.” Every December, users get a colorful, animated review of their year in music and podcasts. I’m not a superuser, but I always look forward to seeing my preferences all “Wrapped” up. (Did you see what I did there?) This year, I got Wrapped-like emails from Starbucks (22 stores in 21 cities) and the Washington Post (apparently, I’m a “Trailblazer—curious, practical, confident”), among others. While fun, these attempts felt like they were trying too hard—and honestly, off-brand. It’s true that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but when it comes to leadership, copying someone else’s traits or behaviors can erode your authenticity if not done with care and intentionality. So, where does that leave you when you see leadership qualities you admire but don’t know how to integrate? PACE yourself. Here’s a framework to help you grow while staying true to your unique leadership style: Here’s how it looks in action: James (not his real name) admired Sam’s (also not her real name) gregariousness and natural stage presence. A low-key guy by nature, James felt drawn to Sam’s ability to draw people out (Pause). He also realized that engaging with others more effectively could strengthen relationships with his team and colleagues (Align). To grow, James committed to speaking up more intentionally in meetings and scheduling short networking conversations to boost his visibility (Commit). Over time, he adjusted these actions to feel more authentic and aligned with his personality (Embody). Authentic leadership isn’t about being louder or flashier—it’s about showing up as the truest version of yourself and inspiring others to do the same, enabling you to build trust and create impact along the way. So, as you think about the leadership playlist you’re building for the year, ask yourself: If you’re leveling up this year, curate your own leadership playlist. It’ll be more effective—and fulfilling—than playing someone else’s. What’s the first step you’re committing to today?
