“Sarah’s unique coaching style, combined with her intuitive & kind nature creates a fruitful and safe environment for learnings and insights. I have been fortunate to work with Sarah a number of times and she helped me improve my communication & presentation skills by growing my confidence. Her approach is challenging yet fun and the learnings go way beyond the corporate space. She is a true star and a joy to work with who is able to connect on a very deep level. Sarah has an incredible talent for making a difference very quickly and I have seen colleges shining in presentations right after they worked with her. I highly recommend working with Sarah on an individual basis or in a team environments.”
“Sarah has worked with two cohorts of our Executive Presence Program at BlackRock, where 15 rising star associate level women are taught the skills that they don’t necessarily learn through their day job. Both years we have included Sarah in the first session to shake things up and both times the feedback from the participants has been extraordinary. The self-awareness, vulnerability, rebuilding and bonding – and above all the confidence and energy, that Sarah is able to coach and draw out in one short day is nothing short of breathtaking.”
“Working with Sarah is a joy – She brings vibrancy and a deeply connected presence which stays with people long after any formal session ends. The success of any learning or development intervention is often measured simply in the legacy of conversations and curiosity and Sarah never fails to stimulate both. Sarah helps people grow their confidence in areas of their lives which go well beyond the confines of corporate spaces and this is such a great gift to be able to give. Whether one to one or in a group, Sarah delivers exceptional results and always leaves her audience wanting more.”
“I can’t thank Sarah enough, she has turned one of the things I dreaded most into a skill I really enjoy. Working with Sarah has given me the confidence not only in how to present but also in what to present, structuring content and engaging an audience, she has helped me develop invaluable skills which I use every day.”
“I have been fortunate to work with Sarah a number of times, holding workshops for my teams in Africa and South Asia, as well as one-to-one sessions. As well as greatly improving our communication and presentation skills, Sarah is brilliant at getting teams to understand each other and work better together. Her style and exercises are challenging yet fun and I always learn something new each time. I would not hesitate to recommend her to any organisation that wants to strengthen its leaders’ ability to communicate.”
“Sarah’s coaching early in my career revolutionised me in terms of confidence, presence and impact. Without a shadow of a doubt it is the most impactful coaching experience in my career to date. I now work in the talent and development arena and have bought in Sarah into many organisations both for one on one work with senior leaders and as part of wider talent programmes for both early career and experienced leaders. Every time I present Sarah to these talented individuals the reaction is the same. Sarah is the stand out memory for all participants in all the interventions we lay in front of them. Their time with Sarah has the greatest and sustainable impact of all. From the minute she walks into the room Sarah creates a buzz. Long after the programmes are finished the memory of Sarah and the lessons she imparts remain firmly embedded and frequently referred to. By a long shot Sarah’s ROI is the highest I have experienced, I would thoroughly recommend using her.”
“Sarah is quite unique in her approach, her style and the results that she delivers. She has worked closely with leaders from our business to develop their communication skills. Sarah is bold and often takes participants out of their comfort zone – they very quickly realise the value and importance of what they have learnt – and the results are evident. It’s a joy to work with Sarah and there’s certainly never a dull moment!”
“Sarah has really helped some of our leaders enhance their communication styles. Sarah is brilliant at tailoring her approach to the needs of each person she’s working with, which helps maximise results.”
“Sarah will tell you she helps you “manage moments”. The description truly fits. With Sarahs help, I have increased my effectiveness as a leader with my employees, clients and colleagues. This has been the most valuable executive development sessions I have been involved with and will continue to recommend her to many colleagues.”

She has improved my presentational skills immensely and my confidence levels have also significantly increased. This has proved very valuable in gaining NED positions.
