What’s it like to work with me?

“I find Sarah to be an ally, someone willing to be available for me to bounce ideas off of knowing I will get a response I can count on. She’s been instrumental to our success.”
Dan EstesPresident and CEO | Weaver Cooke Construction​
“Sarah is great at adapting her content and delivery to meet your specific needs. She recently worked my leadership team and everyone left with actionable next steps to grow their leadership capability.”
Janet BridgesVice President, Corporate Accounting and Finance | Chick-fil-A Corporate
“Sarah’s strategically-minded focus on the big picture was by far the most valuable aspect of my time with her. From our work together, we grew enrollment by more than 100% over the prior year -- surpassing even my goals -- and moved up to rank #19 for Best Online MBA Programs. Her leadership coaching moved me to think about how immediate situations can be conducted in a way to move my business unit’s short term AND long term goals forward. She’s made me and my team more productive, more centered, and according to my directors, an overall better leadership presence. And she equips you with the skills so when the training wheels come off, you’re confident in your ability to keep going!”
Pam SuzadailAssociate Dean & Executive Director Center for Online Learning Raymond A. Mason School of Business William & Mary University​
“After an unfruitful past executive coaching experience, I was pretty skeptical of trying again, but it was worthwhile. Sarah strikes the right balance of adding value and being available whenever needed. I had some practical challenges I wanted to focus on, and we rolled up our sleeves and tackled them head on. Most importantly, Sarah is easy to talk to. I would recommend her to others uncertain of the value of executive coaching for sure.”
Matt LeporeSenior Vice President, Global - Legal, BASF Corporation
“One of the very best.” ​
Ted D. Zoller, PhD​T.w. Lewis Distinguished Clinical Scholar and Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship | UNC Kenan-flagler Business School​
“I couldn’t have asked for more.”
Joyce WeilandPresident | SoftPro
“You’ve taken me from lobbyist to leader!”
Kim CrouchExecutive Director | North Carolina Advocates for Justice
“A very, very successful engagement. 5 stars.”​
Larry PulleyDean | Mason School of Business William and Mary University
When I started working with Sarah, I knew immediately that she would help me develop as a leader, but what I didn’t expect was how directly our work together would translate into business results. In my first year working with Sarah, we grew revenues by 20% as a result of Sarah’s helping me pivot my leadership of my senior team to focus on business development, not just delivery.
Dana O'Donovan​Managing Director | Monitor Institute by Deloitte
“Sarah’s coaching made a profound impact on my confidence and ability to step into this elevated role.”
Jeanne MorrisVP | Education Society for Human Resource Management
“Sarah's calm demeanor, real life experience, and intense connection with the individual creates the right space for transformation and impact.”​
Lori Reese PattonChief Recruiting Officer | Womble, Bond, Dickinson
“Sarah helped me identify key insights in the barrage of daily meetings, calls, and emails that focused on my keys to success. Over our six month engagement I became a more strategic thinker and confident leader which has paid off well for my boss, organization, career, and family. I was also able to increase the impact of my coaching investment by taking what I learned from Sarah and applying her approach with my own team.”
Steve SantanaSVP & North America CTO | Global Education Company
