About Me
Meet Sarah
Experience and Purpose. With over 20 years in human resources, I've designed leadership programs, built talent management strategies, and led complex acquisition integrations. The work was challenging, but what truly energized me was connecting with people—helping them grow, collaborate, and unlock their full potential.
That passion led me to coaching. I’ve seen firsthand how practical guidance, self-awareness, and the right mindset can transform careers and lives. Now, I help individuals gain clarity, build resilience, and achieve what matters most to them—whether in leadership, career transitions, or personal growth.
​
Leadership and Human Skills. I’ve worked with extraordinary leaders and talented professionals across industries, and one truth stands out: leadership isn’t about a title—it’s about impact. Some of the most influential leaders don’t manage teams; they lead through trust, communication, and presence.
Great leadership starts with human skills: building trust, communicating with clarity, navigating challenges with emotional intelligence, and inspiring others through action. Coaching helps you strengthen these skills and step into the best, most authentic version of yourself—so you can lead with confidence and purpose.
A bit more about me...
Pragmatic, Authentic, Intentional Coaching. I became a coach to help people embrace their strengths, navigate change with confidence, and achieve what truly matters to them. My approach is practical, thoughtful, and deeply personalized—focusing on real-world strategies that drive growth.
I work with leaders to sharpen their leadership skills, build trust within teams, and communicate with clarity and empathy. I support individuals in defining their goals, overcoming obstacles, and staying accountable to their progress. Whether you're striving for professional success, personal growth, or both, coaching provides the space and structure to move forward with purpose.

Life Beyond Coaching. I’m a mother, sister, daughter, aunt, friend, and wife. Raising two daughters has given me a deep appreciation for the balance between ambition and family, challenge and joy.
I’ve made Northern California my home, where I enjoy hiking, reading, baking, and spending time with friends. Live music and travel fuel my sense of adventure, and this next chapter—helping others design their own path forward—is one I’m truly excited to embrace.
