Who is Sara?

Sara is a qualified accountant, entrepreneur and an international transformative coach, with a combined 15 years corporate and entrepreneurial experience. Having been through many transformations herself over the years, it wasn’t until the most recent transformation that she really cracked it!

With her personal flair and insights into leadership, Sara inspires purpose and drives action from her audience. She wants everyone to find their power of purpose. She wants aspiring leaders to step into their power as a leader NOW and for established leaders to see leadership in a different way. It’s time for an old style of leadership to consider an alternative, more emotionally intelligent alternative.

Sara did not always believe her vision was possible. She saw things being done in a certain way, and believed that she had to fit in. One of the biggest turning points for her was closing her tech start-up, she had built for over two years, which was on the brink of a large investment. After battling near burnout, anxiety and depression, from her ‘always on’ mentality, common in start-ups, she finally saw the light. Her mission is to challenge the status quo and represent a new way of leading, that could work even better than the current system.

Her presentations end with a strong call-to-action that gets everyone engaged, accountable and ready to take bold risks which reaps great rewards. Just like she has!

Testimonials

Entrepreneurial Mindset & Leadership Workshop

I hired Sara to run a group coaching session for our Found & Flourish network and it was fantastic. She covered off some really important topics including following your intuition in business and ethical sales. People left the session feeling lighter and with more clarity over how they wanted to move their business forward. I look forward to hosting Sara again soon!

New Paradigm of Leadership Workshop

Very informative workshop. I found the questions that Sara encouraged us to ask ourselves off the back of the conversation were really helpful. Sometimes, it’s good to have a reminder about what leadership can mean, as it helps you to realign yourself and be more discerning about what I need to be focusing on and my direction.

I agreed that to be an effective leader, you need to be able to adapt quickly to changing events and in the new paradigm, that human connection and collaboration is key.

I left clear on what I want to be my impact, vision and purpose. And I asked myself the questions: Who do I see myself as a leader? Who do I want to work with?

Thank you, Sara.

As the Chair of one of the most active London branches for the Charted Institute of Management Accountants, I wanted something a little different to our usual CIMA East London events – a non-technical, interactive session, which encouraged our members to work with each other. I was very impressed with the quality of the presentation put on – engaging, fresh, and interactive. And most importantly of all, it made people realise how networking furthers their career and got people talking to each other.

Everyone really came out of themselves, and there were still people there talking an hour after the session finished!

Most people who completed the feedback forms said they wanted more

New Paradigm of Leadership & Power of Purpose Masterclasses

Thanks so much for the workshops Sara. I found them useful sessions at a useful time, and well run. And it’s got me really keen on more thinking about vision & purpose.

I enjoyed both sessions, they were packed full of information, with some really practical models, steps and advice to explore it and put it into practice.

Find your Power of Purpose Workshop

I found the session very useful in that it confirmed that I was doing the right thing on my journey to finding my purpose and a more fulfilling job.

What I have been doing is trying to find webinars on subjects that interest me, and trying out new roles such as a mentor and an Alzheimer’s Companion to see what sticks.  Your instruction reassured me that the answer won’t appear to me overnight but that I am right to be widening my experiences and looking for clues in them as to the direction I would like to ultimately take.  I didn’t really feel the need to ask any questions, but after a while into the session I just started to feel calm and reassured.

I approached Sara when I realised I was at a career crossroads and was not sure whether to go left, right or straight on. Sara’s unique approach allowed me to take a deep look at what motivates me and what I should avoid as well as give me some great new tools for coming to decisions in the future. I now have clarity on where I am headed in my life and career.

I will soon be starting a new CFO role and I am confident that I have chosen it for the right reasons rather than falling into it. I’m looking forward to making the role my own.

I would thoroughly recommend Sara. It was time very well spent.
