Welcome
At Onward and … I am here to support you on your unique journey of development, whatever shape that may take. My coaching and mentoring approach is rooted in balance, integrity, and creativity, offering a personalised, one-on-one experience designed just for you. Whether we use coaching or mentoring my aim is to help you make meaningful changes that bring you to a new place or perspective. Together, we will embrace change, nurture your development, and unlock new possibilities, opening the doors you’re ready to walk through; empowering you to move onward with confidence.
While coaching and mentoring aren’t exactly candlelit dinners, I believe there’s a certain chemistry that drives successful coaching relationships. With that in mind, I want to share the core values that shape my work and are central to how I approach it:
Growth
In any development journey, progress isn’t always a straight path forward or up. I don’t believe in standing still—there’s always room to learn, adapt, and grow.
Balance
There’s more to life than work, and it’s the fullness of life we bring into our roles that makes us truly successful. I will always seek to support you as a whole person, not just in your professional identity.
Integrity
If we’re not true to ourselves—our whole selves—it becomes difficult to commit to growth, change, or development. Believing in what we do is essential.
Change
I value change and the opportunities it brings. While change isn’t always the solution, being open to it is key if we intend to grow and expand who we are, how we work, and what we achieve.
Kindness
With so many demands on our time and energy, we must make room for kindness toward ourselves. Without it, true change, growth, or evolution is difficult to sustain.
Creativity
Creativity comes in many forms, and wherever possible, I incorporate creative thinking techniques and approaches. This not only makes the process more enjoyable but also encourages the best results for my clients.
Coaching
Hello! I’m Sarah, and I’d love to be your executive coach, supporting you as you navigate the lumps and bumps of your career. My role is to provide a safe, confidential environment where we can focus on getting you to where you want to be. Together, we’ll create the time and space you need to grow.
Throughout your journey, I’ll offer honest feedback and constructive challenges, helping you strengthen your confidence, self-awareness and influence. Coaching isn’t about me giving you the answers—it’s about helping you discover the ones you already have. I believe in your potential and know you have the skills, or can acquire them, to succeed. If there are knowledge or skill gaps, we’ll find the right tools for your growth.
Every decision is part of your larger journey, and I’m here to support you in making the choices that feel right at each step. In our coaching partnership, built on trust, you’ll always be in the driver’s seat. Together, we’ll decide which areas matter most and work towards moving you onwards with clarity and purpose.
Through regular 60-90 minute sessions and follow-up support, we’ll maintain momentum, you stay on track throughout our work together.
Mentoring
I have experience across the Higher & Further Education, Aviation, and Creative sectors. As a dynamic operations and administration professional, I’ve led, influenced, and assured major change initiatives. Throughout my career I’ve worked in fast-paced environments alongside senior and board-level executives—supporting, advising, and influencing their decision-making processes. My strengths lie in making sense of complex environments, shaping, evidencing, and clearly communicating change. I’m highly adaptable, focused, and bring a common-sense approach to every challenge.
As your mentor, I draw on my diverse experience to offer a thoughtful and considered approach, supporting you in reflecting on and developing key decisions. I’ve honed my coaching, mentoring, and facilitation skills to ensure the continuous growth of individuals, and I remain mindful that every decision is part of a larger journey.
I take a values-based approach, tailoring each experience to meet your unique needs, ensuring that the support I provide is both personal and impactful.
