“Sarah possesses a very strong sense of calm and makes me feel very relaxed and capable of solving any issue. She has a very calming effect on any scenario and challenges me without in any way making me feel inadequate or weak. Sarah has a completely pragmatic approach and asks direct questions.

My thoughts were very confused when I started coaching with Sarah. I was also panicked and was in the negative mind-set of panic so to be able to order my thoughts and think clearly was a massive relief. The sensation after each session was like having an injection of a Valium-like substance!

The coaching for me has come at a crucial time in my working and personal life and has seriously kept me from making wrong choices and decisions. From the very first session when nothing seemed very clear to me and I was questioning serious changes I had made to my career I came away from that feeling entirely different just by Sarah’s encouragement to work through my thoughts.”

Alison, HR Director

Working with Sarah has been the most amazing, powerful and enabling experience. She constantly surprises me with her insightfulness and ability to get to the root of my dilemmas, whilst at the same time managing to guide and support me through the maze of thoughts and options. Our sessions are fun, challenging, thought provoking and of immense value to me.

Thanks to Sarah, I now have a much clearer understanding of myself and my abilities and feel able to be proactive and curious about my future. Sarah also has a wealth of practical knowledge about career options, something which has been a real benefit to me having been in the same sector for over 25 years.

Liz, Senior Manager (Charity)

The meetings with Sarah were incredibly useful and informative in terms of conceptualising my career goals and interview style. I found the sessions invaluable and very thought-provoking. It’s a really great service!

Shahmima, Doctoral Researcher

“I just wanted to say thank you so much for all your help and support over this past month – even when I came so close to giving up. It has meant so much, especially as if it hadn’t been for you working so hard with me, I wouldn’t have got the job!”
Monica, Sutton Coldfield

I was hoping the coaching sessions would help me build confidence to perform to the best of my ability in my new role. The coaching has met and exceeded my expectations.

I gained a better understanding for my role within the company, better self-awareness and my confidence has grown significantly. I am now more likely to speak up in meetings when I have something to contribute. I find difficult conversations easier to have with my team members and feel my confidence in all areas has developed.  The biggest breakthrough was realising that I am more capable than I think I am. I contribute more and have confidence in what I have to say. I am more determined to raise concerns/tackle issues before they become bigger problems within my team and company-wide.

I was surprised by the way that I came up with answers and solutions myself with very little guidance. Sarah is brilliant at guiding you through thought processes to achieve the best solutions to often difficult situations. I benefited the most from having the time to think through and discuss things with someone from outside of the company.

N, Sales Development Team Leader

Sarah coached me through the application and interview process for a non-academic position. Not only did she refresh my memory of good interview technique, she also taught me new ways of handling common interview questions, helping me to stand-out as a candidate. In fact, I found out after my interview that one specific piece of advice Sarah gave me – in relation to speaking openly about what motivates/excites me in interview – had really impressed the panel. I am so pleased to say that, with Sarah’s help, I was successful in securing the first job I interviewed for.  Thank you!

Ruth, Doctoral Researcher

You were kind enough to chat with me on the phone earlier this year as I was considering relocating back home after a few years in Vancouver, Canada. Just a quick note to say thank you once again as I recently secured a job within the University of Bristol! The valuable information that you provided certainly helped me to make the decision to return to the UK and submit a successful application. Thank you once again and I hope that we can keep in touch.

E, University Careers and Employability Adviser

“Thank you very much for looking at my CV again. The changes are really good, and I think the layout is definitely much more appealing!”
Liz, Wolverhampton

I hoped to work out what I really wanted to achieve, and the coaching helped me to see this and how to phrase my goals in a clear, business like way. As I went through the coaching journey, I found I wanted to be more positive and I began concentrating on and highlighting the good aspects of my work style. I’ve gained more confidence in myself and confidence in taking action to achieve my goals in a way that would benefit both myself and the business.

I found that the talking style was very free and I could take the conversation in a way that was right for me. I find the sessions to be very relaxed and beneficial and enjoyed the freedom to discuss any issues I had freely. (The major insight made is…) that I have the ability to improve myself and be an even more productive member of the team, and that I can phrase things slightly differently to communicate in a more business savvy way.
