Executive Coaching
For Life & Work
A reinvention from the inside out
You’ve had a lot of conditioning (societal, cultural, systemic, familial) and lived experiences that informed the path you took and the choices you made to get where you are now.
While you know there are great things in your life, you can’t help but feel that you’d like to do work and life differently now.
The confusion you feel. The exhaustion you feel. The wtf you feel.
It’s a lifetime of learning “rules” that weren’t designed with you in mind.
So what can a smart, capable, seasoned career person like yourself do about it
… Reinvent.
Let’s Be Real
We are going to mix ontological coaching (the study of being) that is about your true self and inner landscape, with strategic and tactical workshopping.
Our work together will provoke identity shifts, upgraded self-concepts, new skills and a whole lot of feeling alive.
To be clear, I’m not here to tell you what to do or think but to support you in tapping into your own wisdom and trusting the hell out of yourself.
so powerful?
what makes coaching with me
What a client had to say ...
“Meeting Sarah has been one of the most impactful relationships I’ve had. Was I successful? Yes. Was I happy? Yes! Were there lots of dreams I’d ticked off my bucket list? Yes! And I knew there was more. I could feel it to my core. Things that I knew I wasn’t in integrity with myself about. Things I knew I skirted the issue with others. Lots and lots of time spent in my head with the swirl of commentary that my lovely “board of advisors” freely gives. Working with Sarah has created access to freedom and ease that I had been searching for - within myself, in my life, and how I work.”
Teresa Stott, Sr. Consultant & Wanderluster
An analogy a client and I came up with once:
It felt like being molded into a pretzel,
to make things work for others - tasty for them, painful for her. A wickedly smart, well-respected, highly successful woman - who had spent a life-time bending herself to fit what the world wanted.
That kind of molding for that long wears on us. It can show up as:
A resentment you can’t quite put your finger on. A sadness that’s just below the service. A tiredness you just can’t shake.
Working yourself to burnout. Making work your whole identity. Being everything to everyone (and losing sight of yourself).
Not trusting your intuition, your skills, or what you know. Making yourself “smaller” so that you blend in. Being likable (you know smiling at something when really you’re thinking about throat punching them).
Not making decisions that you know would be good for you. Questioning who you are in this world. Not being able to identify what truly matters to you.
Being driven by unrelenting expectations. Forgetting what awe and wonder feel like. And agazzillion other things that will be specific to you.
So what gives?
Welcome to being a human
These rules, beliefs, habits, ways of navigating the world are all learned from the messages, lived experiences, and conditioning we are exposed to our entire life.
Some of these messages have allowed you to survive and get to where you are now. Go You!
Some of these messages have allowed you to grow into the remarkable human you are. Yay!
And some of these messages are in the way of what you want to create, experience, and do in this lifetime. Ugh.
it’s hard to see beyond the water You’re swimming in.
Especially when a lot of the options we are presented with to change things are hacks, or 10 steps to, or someone else’s formula, or 30 other surface level solutions.
The thing is, what most of us need to quiet the noise and reinvent, isn’t surface level work. Because if all that was needed was a good hack, you’d would already be merrily on your way to doing whatever the fuck you wanted.
Which is why you often know intellectually what would make the difference for you but you often stop short of applying it. You know how many times I’ve heard “I know what to do, I’m just not doing it.” from a very capable badass human? Loads. Including myself.
If we truly want to make a lasting change in our life, we have to take a deep look at what compels us towards and away from things.
We have to get curious, self-reflect, and learn about what conditioning is actually informing our thoughts.
Once you are aware of that, you can shift where you make decisions and choices from and that will make your reinvention possible and lasting.
Why can’t I just figure it out?
Why bother?
Because it matters to you.
There is a version of your self, your life, and your leadership filled with the things that matter most to you.
Maybe that means:
Finding yourself. Deepening relationships. Up-leveling your leadership.
Increasing empathy. Embracing adaptive leadership. Fostering healthy conflict.
Going after a different job. Becoming an activist. Finding Your Voice.
Moving. Finding your style. Getting some damn sleep.
Starting a business. Having Hobbies. Allowing for pleasure.
Getting your mojo back. Making a big decision. Being in a new era.
These are some examples of things my clients have created as part of their reinvention. Whatever it is you find yourself struggling with and/or daydreaming about, it’s possible when you quiet the noise and make reinvention a priority.
Smart. Seasoned. searching.
I’ve reinvented my life, work, and identity many times over. From where I have lived, to my professional life, to how I navigate the world, to which parts of myself I hold the most dear.
My ability to coach in a way that cuts through the bull-shit with love, humor, and insight is honed by 20+ years of corporate work, leadership and coach training, 1000s of hours of coaching brilliant minds, and lived experiences.
I care deeply about the reinvention you are seeking, because I believe it is also how we reimagine a world that is more kind to humans, animals, and the planet.
I’m You
Hey! It’s nice to meet you.
From a colleague...
“Sarah brings sharp, grounded clarity to conversations along with grit, humor and the magical ability to name what's really going on in a way that compels people to go inside and figure out what's next for them. Her perspective - shaped by working with a fascinating range of very senior clients, years of coaching coaches and working inside corporate - adds a layered, real-world lens that is both insightful and recognizable.”
