Sarah Williamson
1:1 coaching programme for managers and team leaders
Experienced coach and mentor
Emotional turmoil tends not to look dramatic but for the person experiencing it, it often feels heavy and difficult to manage alone. We tend to offer the contact details for our Employee Assistance Programme as a first approach and if there is access to good quality counselling there – that’s a great start but often someone needs more forward focused support.
Sarah has over 15 years experience in coaching and mentoring individuals and groups. Sarah’s 1:1 coaching is forward focussed with an individual’s vision in mind. The bespoke approach means that the coachee has the opportunity to talk about where they are right now professionally and personally and make an actionable plan to make progress towards where they’d like to be in the short and medium term.
Sarah works with people experiencing overwhelm every week and knows that giving people time, undivided attention and empathy reduces stress and ‘stuckness.’ Sarah supports her clients to explore their feelings and reach a better understanding of their situations and the options available to them.
The action-oriented strategies support progression towards overcoming blocks and next steps in their career development.

Reviews
I saw Sarah speak at the Mind, Body and Spirit festival and was blown away. Her words were kind, funny and insightful, more importantly she was infectious and funny. Lighthearted JOY with impact.
Meeting with you each week was just the steering-back-on-track that I needed. Thank you
Thank you so much for your precious time and gentle guidance over the last four weeks. I have made so many positive changes to my life. I so needed to talk directly to someone about the things particular to me. I am so glad and grateful that I was able to do that with you, thank you.
When Sarah talks she is honest and real, knowing just what to say, what will resonate with you and what will make you think. I saw her talk at her book launch and hand on heart it has changed so much for me. Sharing her experiences and anecdotes prompted me to take a look at my own situation and realise where I could make some positive changes. She’s inspiring and captivating and I would 100% recommend her as a speaker who really makes a difference.
I hit the jackpot choosing you as my coach, you have been wise and insightful and in turn I've been able to trust my own wisdom and inner knowing - thank you.
Fabulous - so inspiring and refreshing - thank you
Your clients are so lucky to have you in their lives. You’re like the calm captain of the plane, reassuring everyone that the rough turbulence that is being flown through is uncomfortable but normal and that everyone is going to be fine.
I think what I’m trying to say is that you never seemed like a performer or fake, you are a grounded, caring person who simply wants to help others and you genuinely give a damn about people. It’s so refreshing.
I met Sarah during a time where my mental health was terrible, although you’d never have known that. I always looked forward to seeing her because her positive mindset would be guaranteed to cheer me up! She honestly has this way of radiating hope. I felt like I had known her forever and I think that comes down to how approachable and understanding she is.
Sarah’s talks are different to typical motivational talks because she bears complete vulnerability and honesty. She is able to immediately connect with others with her openness and understanding. There’s no script, no teleprompter and no cookie-cutter speeches at Sarah’s talks. Her sympathetic nature and drive to help others is inspiring. She is just a uniquely wonderful human being and I’m so glad to have worked with her.
Sarah is calm, compassionate and empathetic to a fault. Listening to her allowed me to give myself permission and STOP to really think about what I might like to be different.
