“Sarah was an absolute pleasure to work with - she’s really committed and passionate about what she does. Her warmth and empathy combined with her sharp comic timing and business skills make her an amazing coach and ally. We would not hesitate to recommend working with her - and are frantically trying to find another reason to have her working with us again. The results that she coaxed out of diverse group of people were nothing short of incredible. It’s safe to say we are fans."

“I run a social media outsourcing agency. I’m continuously out there networking, meeting new people and promoting my business. The best way to tell people about what my business does and how it helps others, is to give presentations. I’m ok with standing up in front of people but only if I have well structured talk prepared. Talking at people is not difficult but talking to people in engaging way is an art and this is exactly why I recently turned to Sarah.
In only one hour 121 session she took all my content and gave it a structure. The same day I was able to put into action everything we talked about. The presentation is now much easier for me to remember as one thing logically follow the other. I know I wasn’t the first that Sarah helped. I saw massive difference in the way my colleagues presented after consulting her before.”
