Activate your team’s full capacity.

Let’s create intentional time and space to support you in collectively getting clear, aligned, and activated.

Relationships are nuanced and complex.

Whether you are a small business, non-profit, startup, intentional community, or partnership… it is so important to tend well to your relationship systems - they are at the heart of all you do.

You are a team that has a strong value around relational authenticity, depth, and integrity.

You care about each other.

Even the healthiest relationship systems need external support sometimes.

We want to offer you an experienced, non-biased presence, to help facilitate the hard conversations, reveal relational blind-spots, shift dynamics that aren’t serving you, and support you in cultivating new relational skills.

Through team coaching and facilitation we will help you navigate the important or hard conversations, offer new tools and training, and coach towards clarity and action.

You’ll gain relational awareness, and take action with collective clarity and cohesion.

Hi I’m Sarah, Our Common Founder, Leadership & Relationship Coach, and Community Builder

You can count on me to come alongside your relationship or team as a strategic partner. I will champion, support, and advocate for the health of your overall system, always.

When working together you can expect that I will bring deep curiosity, helping you to get to the heart of the issue, and supporting 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 a team 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 our relationship systems are the foundation of our work in the world - I commend you for embarking on this work!

In most cases I lead team coaching with our clients, though you can trust that if the scope of your project requires it, we will bring in the full spectrum of expertise that your team needs.

Examples

There are all kinds of scenarios that might make this a good fit for your partnership, team, or community, but here are a few examples:

  • Just forming/starting out - get clear on common values and goals, learn about your unique personalities and communication styles, develop shared language as you navigate what you are creating together.

  • In crisis - needing to improve cohesion and clarity and gain support in conflict management.

  • Already established and well-functioning - wanting ongoing external support to hold you accountable, and help catalyze growth and intimacy and effectiveness for your team.

How it works

We build an on-going partnership where we support your relationship, team, or community with team coaching and facilitation as you need it. Together we design the frequency and scope of our work together based on your needs and capacity.

First we make sure it’s a fit:

We have a free initial 40 minute consult call with zero expectations. We meet to get to know each other, and talk through the needs of your team. You also get to ask all your questions.

If it’s a good fit we move forward together!

we start with an initial period of alignment:

It’s important that this work feels valuable to your whole group. We map out and deliver some initial sessions with your team. We plan a check-in time to evaluate fairly early-on. This allows us to collectively vision the long-term commitment we are making together to partner.

we build a deep on-going partnership of support:

The dream with this work is to be partnering with teams for a longer period of time (multi year or even the life of your business or community).

The cadence of support looks different for each team based on needs.

We check in as we go:

At the end of the year we schedule a Completion/Review session (75 mins) to look back, celebrate, harvest the learning, and point to what’s next for you.
