“We have just worked with Sarah on a coaching programme for a group of our senior leaders. To say this has been impactful would be an understatement!
From the very beginning, not everyone found coaching to be their natural forte. However, thanks to Sarah's exceptional facilitation skills, she effortlessly guided us out of our comfort zones, creating an environment where we felt at ease, and helped us all to develop our coaching skillset.
For many individuals, this training has been transformative. Coaching has transcended beyond a mere professional skill and has become an integral part of our everyday conversations, both inside and outside work. It has heightened our awareness of the way we listen to one another, and reignited the importance of heartset and mindset in all that we do. In these challenging times, these invaluable lessons have become more crucial than ever, and we are so grateful for these new skills."
- Ali Kirkman, Assistant Principal, Hills Road Sixth Form College
