“I was looking for an executive coach to support me in my professional growth journey. I located a few, but their profile didn't connect with what I was looking for. Then, I attended one of Sarah's educational sessions at a National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO) Conference.

After hearing Sarah's passionate and intelligent session, I knew she was just the coach I was seeking. After all, she is an executive coach AND a hospice expert. Since I am leading a non-profit hospice, she was the perfect fit to help me grow, while understanding my challenges as a hospice leader. I approached her immediately after the session and we began our partnership. Starting work with Sarah was one of the best decisions I've made in my career.

She has helped me grow not only professionally, but personally as well. Sarah has coached all aspects of my life and helped me improve many relationships. I wouldn't be the leader I am today, without her influence. She asks insightful questions that help me create the solutions I need to be a better leader as well as a better person.

I highly recommend Sarah as your executive coach. I am confident your relationships will improve, your leadership potential will grow, and the organization or team you are leading will be better off, thanks to her influence."

"In my 30+ career as a Diversity, Equity & Inclusion practitioner, I have encountered few professionals like Sarah. Her employee centric, empathy, and curiosity to learn from everyone made her one of my favorite leaders among all the leaders I’ve encountered.

​

As a partner in engaging in cultural change management, Sarah led with heart and business acumen thus balancing the needs of the people and the business. Sarah is a “Jack of all Trades and a Master of a Lot”, which is a rare commodity in the corporate marketplace. I hope to work with Sarah again in the future."

"Sarah is a highly talented HR & Talent leader. She has a unique ability to see the opportunity and positive through all the challenges and obstacles, as well as design and execute plans and recommendations to deliver results.

Sarah always demonstrated a passion for developing people and teams and a deep knowledge of how to best do so for each individual. Her passion was evident while leading an acquisition through multiple changes and she did so in the most positive and enthusiastic way.

Her knowledge of educational models, learning and development, organizational design and people programs is unsurpassed.  Sarah was highly collaborative, inclusive and garnered enthusiasm and support for the initiatives and proposals she brought forth to the organization and made a huge impact in the time we worked together."
