I can highly recommend Sarah's business coaching and webinars. I had a 1:1 session with Sarah which really motivated me and I came away with specific actions which I was able to put into practice to drive my business forwards. Sarah has a wealth of experience with many types of businesses which she was able to draw on for my own particular circumstances.

I cannot recommend Sarah enough. We were a business that that was ticking along but needed more focus and some direction. When we had our first meeting I knew Sarah was going to a massive asset to use and it turned out to be the best thing we had ever done. Sarah was always there for advice an support and still is. Our business has grown so much our turnover increased by 33% the first year and 25% the second year with Sarah's help. We have won multiple awards and are finalist in the Nation Opticians awards, this would not of been something we would done without the confidence a belief Sarah has given us. If you want your business to achieve goals that you could only have dreamed of Sarah is the lady that will get you there. She will always be part of lives and team. Thank you Sarah for everything

Let me first start by saying something about business coaching in general. For those people serious about succeeding in business it can be difficult to plot the path of personal, professional and business development to meet your goals. It can even be difficult to understand and articulate personal goals. Coaching helps to make sure that the actions you perform are consistent with achieving the goals you have. There is no magic and no silver bullet. However, if you focus your efforts on your goals and discard the activities that are not contributing it is amazing what you can achieve. For the past 12 months I have been working with Sarah as my business coach. Not only do I have a clearer picture of where I want from life, I have a clearer view of how to get there. I have made significant changes to my business focus, ensuring that the business that I put my main efforts into is able to deliver the change I need. I feel deeply indebted to Sarah for the help she has provided during this journey, and I would recommend anyone that is looking to develop themselves or their business to contact Sarah to see how she can help.
