1 on 1 Executive Coaching

Passionate would be the first thing to say about Sara. We met when I was looking for a change, I needed to change my leadership style and it helped me to build and unify a great team by learning how to lead myself and lead others. People say change is hard. I agree, but it is much easier when you have Sara as your coach. She's been an inspiration to me and it has helped me to maximise my effectiveness. I've learnt more about myself and specific behaviors I needed to adjust. I've been fortunate to find her.

Having focus and support, I've solved problems that have enabled both my businesses to progress quickly to the next stage. And it's changed the way I think about how I look after these companies, how I control my time and support my team. And it's made me realise I need to put time in my diary to reflect, address my emotions and do what do I need to do to address that. It's been a reprogramming exercise. Which has made my businesses soar! By virtue of getting on top of the challenges I was facing, I've found a big reduction in my anxiety levels and the feeling of being able to cope with situations better, provides confidence. Aligning personal goals with business goals and making sure they are symbiotic with each other has made me a happier person. A really positive experience all around. I'd highly recommend Sara.

I felt I wanted to do coaching because I was inspired by the character Wendy Rhoades on the Netflix series, Billions, where she helps people achieve their highest level of performance. I personally felt that it was important to have an independent sounding board to ensure that I am at my highest level. One of the things that Sara helped me with was shifting mental blocks and anchors (that I didn’t even realise were there). I needed to break those mental cycles, push past my fears and blockers to drive forward. I really got my ‘mojo’ back through working with Sara. Some tangible business results that have transformed the business and put us on the path to 10X growth this year include: Transition from the kind of clients that we were working with (too many small customers that were draining our time and energy). We strategically focused the business towards higher margin, larger enterprise customers. We are now targeting big, brand name companies and getting some traction going! As a leader, I wanted to be in control. I realised that I needed to make smart, hiring decisions. I hired a Chief Fun Officer to motivate our team, by introducing more fun at work (especially whilst working remotely). I always felt I was dragging my team along, but I gave my team some opportunities to step up, perform and ideate. I found that supporting my team and providing these opportunities to my team led to greatly increased performance. My team are now taking responsibility, and I feel like they are really in it. Our attrition rate has now fallen from 30% to 0% in the last couple of months. I navigated issues in my personal life and resolved those issues, so I had more time and energy to focus on making the business a success. Intangibly, I got back my spark and my energy. I had almost ‘forgotten’ that I’d done this before, due to having lost my mojo. I’d built successful businesses in the past, and I knew I could do it again. The greater my energy levels, the greater the energy of my team. We are now much more resilient to the challenges that business life throws at us! I would not hesitate to recommend Sara to entrepreneurs and business leaders!
