Strong teams build successful businesses.
Connect them with the tools they need.
Straight-shooting executive coaching and targeted leadership development for organizations that care about the success of their employees.
I’m not just a consultant, coach, or facilitator who shows up for a day and disappears. I roll up my sleeves to do the work and collaborate long-term to achieve the desired outcomes. I take a strategic approach to the partnership – one that’s rooted in your business objectives. You bring the challenge and the results you’re after; I bring the specialized tools and 20+ years of experience in HR, Operations, and Marketing to make it happen.
Here's how we can work together
Executive & Leadership Coaching
Your high performers and high potentials are driven to succeed, so give them access to the support they need to thrive. They get the growth they crave, and you get more powerful and productive leaders.
I coach leaders in one-to-one and team settings. Together, we’ll uncover self-limiting beliefs and habitual behaviors that get in the way of their success. The result is more effective and self-aware leaders who show up confidently, perform at an elevated level, build engaged teams, and deliver results.
Leadership Development
Leadership Development
Looking for help with a specific effort to develop leaders within your organization? I partner with HR teams and business leaders to create and facilitate programs that support the growth of people and the business.
These are custom engagements from ideation, design, development, and/or facilitation, intended to take the pressure off your team. It’s a collaborative process that results in programs that are tightly aligned with your organizational goals.

Impact Lab: Signature Programs
In addition to customized, culturally relevant programs, I offer two signature, cohort-based programs designed to evoke insight and create demonstrable behavioral shifts:
- Impact Lab: Power & Presence for Female Leaders
- Impact Lab: Coaching Skills for Leaders
I’d never thought of myself as having a self-confidence problem. I thought I had a voice problem—I couldn’t speak up when it mattered, especially when pitching a new or different idea at work. Working with Sarah helped me realize I wasn’t speaking up because my self-confidence was easily shaken. Whenever I’d have a choice between speaking up and keeping myself small, I’d almost always pick staying small and unobserved over speaking up and being seen. With Sarah’s thoughtful and sensitive coaching, I’ve learned to recognize the knee-jerk reaction to minimize myself. Better yet, I’ve learned a new neural pathway, one that lets me be who I know I can be and take up the space to be seen for that person. It’s incredibly liberating to let myself be that new person, and it’s helping me make a more sustained and meaningful impact in my work."
I feel as though I had an awakening. Before coaching, my executive voice was weak, I came across as lacking confidence, and I was spending time on activities that didn’t support my goals. Working with Sarah, my communication is now concise and confident. Sarah made me feel at ease to reflect on and improve my most inner self and gave me tools and strategies to handle specific challenges. The executive team has seen a significant improvement in how I operate as a leader, I am happier professionally and personally, and I received a promotion."
Thorough, thoughtful and incisive, Sarah is the consummate connector – of people, ideas, and resources – always has her clients’ and colleagues’ interests in mind, and above all is determined to deliver value in every relationship and engagement. Working with Sarah for nearly 10 years now in capacities including coaching, consulting, training and projects, I can be certain that our goal will be clear, milestones will be met and Sarah will have delivered with preparedness, polish and good humor."
My team worked collaboratively with Sarah to design and deliver a customized Management Development series that was very well received. We enjoyed the iterative process with Sarah and the outcome was a relevant-to-us session that incorporated external best practices. Managers of all experience levels benefited from the interactive, practical session that left them with applicable tools they could use right away. In several managers, we noticed an immediate change in approach that improved their working relationships with their direct reports."
