Bio
Alice Swift
Sarah is one of the most professional and inspirational career coaches I have worked with. Sarah's natural flare and passion for leadership development is infectious and gets results. What I enjoy most about working with Sarah is the confidence she is able to generate during her sessions. She has taken me from management level to CEO and has guided me every step of the way. If you are looking to further your career and be the best version of yourself I could not recommend Sarah more highly.

Following my redundancy due to the pandemic, I had the opportunity to rethink my career, which was a daunting task! Sarah’s coaching, supported me to rediscover what I’m good at and understand what I wanted from my next role. During my sessions with Sarah, I have brushed up on my interview skills, renewed my CV and updated my LinkedIn profile, and now I feel excited about applying for new roles. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Following each session, I was left, with a sense of making real progress, feeling energised and more positive about my professional future. Sarah is highly skilled at boosting confidence and reminding you of your skills and capabilities. She is also great at giving a gentle push out of your comfort zone, which is exactly what I needed.

Sarah is a fantastic Career Transitioning Coach who I have had the pleasure of working with over the last few months. Very professional with an ability to put you at ease immediately, she brings warmth and fun to what may be a very anxious time for some. Her vast experience within the recruitment industry gave me the assurance that I was in the hands of someone who clearly knows her stuff. Sarah has worked collaboratively with me, challenging me when necessary, leading to an outcome where I am very clear of what I want from my future career and job role. In short, she is super at building you up and putting you back on track!
