Sara gets the business world and gets the coaching world. One of my tangible highlights was stopping always chasing revenue growth (something that has been a really difficult thing to change). And a refocus towards profitability, rather than chasing revenue, that was really useful to me, because that was part of my real growth through this process.
I have been positively surprised about how Sara helped us "address the elephant in the room" and helped us have much needed discussions, as a team, which sometimes have been difficult. We have much better clarity of what we are and who we are as a company and how we're contributing well or not well to the business, the individual role we're playing and most of all, the common goal we want to achieve together.
Taking our team and company from good to great and Sara helped set us on the path to do that!
Sara really helped me focus on and diversify the business. I was able to understand, at any one time, what were the most important activities to make progress!
She consistently provided sage advice, which always brought the most important items into focus and drove me to be a better leader. By working with her, myself and my organization were able to successfully navigate really sizeable challenges, which once we got through have led to 40% YoY revenue growth (to $3.5m), a more scalable plan for future growth, all the while retaining all of our key contributors. I doubt I would have stayed let alone my whole team if it wasn’t for Sara.
I had the confidence and the belief in myself to put a whole new strategy and vision together for the company, to build a team around me and to get their support and buy in. To deliver the pitch…. And to win support and significant funding for it!
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!
Working with Sara turned out to be a great decision. She works hard to understand who you are as a human being, not just as a leader, and I would recommend Sara without hesitation.
Having focus and support, I've solved problems that have enabled both my businesses to progress quickly to the next stage. My businesses are flying!
Sara’s unique approach allowed me to take a deep look at what motivates me. I now have clarity on where I am headed in my life and career. I would thoroughly recommend Sara.
