What our clients say
”Sarah is a talented OD consultant – she brings so much energy and enthusiasm to her work, combining an in-depth knowledge of OD theory with practical help and advice. She has helped guide Designability through valuable discussions exploring our culture, the impact of change and how to live our values with more meaning, bringing a new lease of life to our teams.”
Catharine Brown, CEO (former), Designability
“I was first introduced to Sarah through Bath Bridge’s Future Talent programme. The course inspired me to recognise leadership qualities in myself and Sarah was fantastic as programme director, both for the group and individually. We have since invited Sarah to deliver development workshops for our team at Bath City FC Foundation, and also put two other members of staff on the Future Talent programme. As a new Trustee for the Foundation Sarah brings with her many qualities and attributes that will help to further the growth and development of the team and individually.”
Geoff Stevens, CEO, Bath City FC Foundation
“Sarah is wonderful to work with. From the start of our project we were able to co create a development package that was right for our organisation. The delivery on the day from the get go was engaging and thought provoking with a real mix of activities to suit the learning of all our leaders. We came away from the day feeling valued, energised and excited about our next session together.”
Emily Massey, CEO, The Partnership Trust
“Sarah has helped our team through a period of change with sensitivity and a huge amount of professionalism, skill and wisdom, which has importantly yielded results.”
Becky Brooks, Director, 3SG BaNES
“Sarah quickly creates a positive space where anything can be explored and where solutions arise from all around. She supported all our staff and governors; bringing us together to recognise and celebrate our strengths and imagine the school we could become. Without exception, everyone was engaged, invigorated and came away excited about the journey ahead; it was the best INSET day we have had. It has given us clarity, a renewed confidence and strong belief in what we want to achieve.”
George Samios, Headteacher, Twerton Infants School
“Sarah designed and developed our flagship leadership programme for research staff where she worked collaboratively with us to ensure the content met our needs. We were delighted with the results and evaluating the programme afterwards showed a significant shift in leadership confidence and giving our staff the tools and concepts that they can apply throughout their leadership journeys in the future.”
Annali Bamber-Jones, Researcher Development Manager, University of Bath
“Sarah is the most amazing coach and mentor. She is one of the most supportive and responsive coaches and mentors I have worked with throughout my years in organisational leadership – clear, positively challenging, introducing me to a different approach to solving a problem. I particularly like the way Sarah frames conversations and offers a rehearsal when managing challenges thus giving me the appropriate strategies and necessary confidence to manage myself and respond appropriately to others. I have definitely taken back control!”
Kate, Coachee
“Sarah and I have been working together for just over a year and I can honestly say 'she changed my life'. Going through a significant event during that time, Sarah helped me to confidently navigate a very challenging path with unwavering support and guidance. Not only am I now a stronger, more rounded person, but found an inner resilience and confidence that was there, just needed coaxing out. Something Sarah did brilliantly without me even noticing! She has allowed me to become a better leader and I hope I can inspire others as she has inspired me.”
Gené, Coachee
"Working with Sarah has been truly life-changing and transformed the way that I lead, listen and interact with others. It has highlighted (and benefitted) the way in which I respond to relationships with colleagues and personally at home, and I am much more self aware, whilst being aware of others' needs and facets of their personalities, too.”
Becky, Coachee
