Leadership asks a lot of you.

You carry a heavy load that can be complex, and even lonely, sometimes.

Come be equipped, supported, and challenged.

Leave resourced, encouraged, and inspired.

You have a big role & title.

You hold a lot of responsibilities, you have significant influence, you carry the needs of others, and you make a lot of important decisions. Yet…

You are human.

It’s normal to need:

  • Judgement free space to be radically honest about what you are experiencing,

  • Support to navigate challenging relational dynamics,

  • An unbiased perspective in decision making and problem solving,

  • Accountability with following through on your goals and intentions,

  • New tools and frameworks to strengthen your leadership and build a high impact team.

Let’s co-create an intentionally designed relationship with the puRpose of serving your Leadership’s resourcing, growth, and momentum.

In coaching, together we create a judgment-free space for curiosity and exploration that allows you to understand yourself better, make aligned decisions, and lead with courage.

You’ll find clarity & confidence, gain new perspectives, experience stress relief, solve problems creatively, take action, and access your inner grounding.

Hi I’m Sarah, Our COmmon Founder, Leadership & Executive Coach.

I have been coaching within complex organizations for the past decade. With thousands of hours of leadership coaching under my belt, I have come to understand how critical it is for those who carry much, to have a safe unbiased space to process and problem solve.

You can count on me to believe in you, and to remind you of your capacity, while being honest and direct with you about the patterns and limitations that might be holding you back.

I have a natural propensity for both emotional depth & strategic problem solving which uniquely allows me to create space for you to be a whole human, while still helping you find ways to get stuff done. I particularly love supporting leaders to navigate complex relational dynamics with courage and creativity - helping you to help your whole team thrive.

When working together you can expect that I will bring deep curiosity to uncover the heart of the issue and support transformative action. I will challenge you to fully show up and be truly conscious and awake in your work, life, and relationships. I am not afraid of the depth of a person or situation and will not shy away from walking alongside you through challenge or difficulty.  You can expect me to hold you accountable to create the outcomes you are longing for. I believe that personal work is global work, and that your resourcing has big ripple impact.

Relational Fit is a #1 factor to consider in finding the right Executive Coach. Book a Free Consult Call to find out if I might be a fit for you and your organization.

How it works

We co-create a safe space that you can return to again and again to be heard, feel cared for, and come away with more clarity and capacity.

  • We have a free initial 40 minute consult call where we get to know each other a little, and you get to ask all your questions. If it feels like a good fit for both of us we go from there.

  • I send you an Intake Questionnaire where you get to know yourself through written reflection. Often clients find new discoveries and insights into their own story and perspective. This also gives us a head-start in getting to know each other, and establishes a solid foundation for us to build on.

    We begin with a 2 hour Intake Session where we co-create our unique dynamic. We’ll set agreements, build familiarity, establish shared frameworks, explore your values and set goals and focus areas for our coaching. This call gives us many of the tools, structures, and common language to best serve your learning and growth.

  • Once established, we build on-going systems for connection and support. We will have two 50 minute live calls per month. You will have full access to text and email support for further processing, updates, & accountability. You also have the option to call on SOS spot-coaching calls, if needed - these are 10-15 minutes in length, and available for urgent in-the moment support (based on availability).

  • If you choose, we identify a coaching ‘sponsor’ within your organization - usually a superior or peer - who provides their input on focus areas for coaching that they believe will support your leadership journey. This helps to identify blind-spots and provides on-the-ground accountability to the process.

  • At the end of our contract we schedule a review session to look back, celebrate, collect up acquired tools and learning, and point to what’s next for you.

    Many clients choose to continue the journey together, and the option is always there to renew for another season, or to extend in a modified way.

Of course, sometimes you face urgent needs that require immediate attention.

If you are finding yourself here, and know you need focused support right away to process a pressing challenge or decision, reach out to discuss how we can tailor the above structure to address your immediate need. Let’s make sure you receive the resourcing and support you are seeking.

You hold a lot on the day to day. May this space hold your leadership meaningfully, as you create big impact in the world.
