Coaching

Our time together has been one of the greatest gifts and highlights of my professional career. I send my deepest thanks for the warm connection, the insightful questions, the encouragement to think outside of all the boxes, and the affirmation that my passions are important and have value.... I have worked with two coaches previously and value this service, and Sarah's skill and support are unique. I have recommended her to all of my colleagues!

This was my first coaching experience, and to be honest, I was a little skeptical about coaching in general at first. However, I am very happy with my experience. Sarah was very friendly and incredibly supportive, but also very professional. Working with her helped me clarify what I value in a career, and empowered me to look for it in places I did not consider was possible before. She also understands the conditions and constraints of the academic life, which I found very helpful. I would definitely recommend coaching with Sarah to anyone who has questions about their careers.

Earlier this year, you helped me gain a new self awareness. My career, and joy, had stalled. We crafted a plan forward and I am very pleased to announce that I began a new career season as a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor...You helped me greatly by becoming available for advice during that crucial interview phase.  I was provided a fair salary, a continuation of my current benefits, a teaching release for one course during the first year, a slot in the New Faculty Development Program, research start up funds for the first year, and freedom to work from home at my discretion..this is a good fit. I want to thank you for your willingness and expertise. Who knows what will be accomplished next?

Sarah is a master at helping people identify their goals and strengths. She gives lots of great feedback and provides new ways of thinking about life roles.

Coaching with Sarah was a transformative experience that gave me the tools and knowledge to transform my life for the better! She also provided wise and clearly actionable insight into specific career-change processes, both in terms of changing my relationship to – and eventually resigning from - my professor job and doing a successful non-academic job search. Working with Sarah enabled me to make a major mid-career shift from academia to industry while also shifting my thinking, habits and expectations in ways that have already made me a much happier person. I cannot recommend her highly enough!
