What Sarah's Coaching Clients Are Saying
Working with Sarah was a transformative experience in helping me get unstuck in my professional life. I had been spinning my wheels trying to figure out my next steps. Sarah helped me clarify my goals and come up with concrete steps I could take right now toward achieving those goals. I now have a much better sense of what I can contribute to the world and where my current position fits in. The sessions were fun too. It was like speaking with a friend who “gets it” but is also willing to ask the tough questions and then synthesize the answers into great insights. I highly recommend her to anyone who is needing more clarity, purpose, and encouragement.
Nina P., LecturerCoaching 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!
Emily W., PhD-
Sarah is a bright, supportive, and insightful coach, who held me accountable to my intentions and values warmly and firmly. Working with her has helped me find integrity and peace in my professional directions.
Laura Q., Associate Professor Coaching with Sarah far exceeded my expectations. I came to the process feeling like I didn't have the tools or skills to gain clarity on my values or goals, but Sarah was key in helping me to see that this wasn't the case. I felt both gently pushed and greatly affirmed throughout my sessions with Sarah and would highly recommend the practice to anyone seeking direction from someone who has 'been there' before.
Advanced Doctoral StudentSarah is amazing at helping people identify their goals and strengths. She gives lots of great feedback and provides new ways of thinking about life roles.
Diane L., PhDIf I'm honest, I think what I was hoping for from a coach was for someone to tell me what to do. I didn't want to do the thinking - I wanted someone to tell me the right answers, the next step career wise, etc. The beauty of what Sarah did, however, was to ask the right questions and elicit from me those answers about what I need and how I can get it. I cannot say enough good things. 10/10. 5 stars - highly recommend. I'm leaving these sessions feeling empowered to advocate for myself in my professional life in a way I never have before.
Amy LC., Assistant ProfessorOur time together has been one of the greatest gifts and highlights of my professional career....Working with Sarah was a delightful surprise in that she offered opportunities to re-frame my entire notion of a career pathway and what professional success could entail. 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!
