Enhancing well-being and performance for professional and personal growth
Sarah came in to provide workshops both at Altran UK and for the Rolls-Royce Women's Network. She provided tailor made workshops on work life balance and stress management. They were a mixture of science, facts, audience participation and games. She was extremely informative, knowledgeable, engaging and fun. I would thoroughly recommend Sarah for both your personal and professional coaching needs be it for an individual or for your team.

''Sarah was really warm and welcoming in what could have been a strained situation given that both myself and my husband were addressing the issue of assertiveness together in the same room. Simple, effective, practical solutions to what is an emotive subject.''

Making the most of your time: getting the balance right
This workshop is an introduction to managing your time, providing you with improved skills to be better organised, monitor your time, establish task priority and consider how the 80/20 rule can help you with your working and personal life. The workshop will help you to focus on what is important to you, to make your time more productive, proactive and increase your ability to be assertive with areas of value to you.
"I have recently attended Sarah's workshop 'Making the most of your time, getting the balance right'. It was an excellent introduction to time management - all important for business owners and everyone in general - I suppose... She wrote on my registration: The whole session will be set in a very tranquil setting and we will start with tea and coffee but we will work hard! And it was indeed: the health centre provided the calm and relaxing atmosphere, and yes, we did work hard, but it was enjoyable. Sarah knows her trade, the workshop was well structured, and I found fascinating how much stuff we managed to squeeze in into couple of hours. We covered all the basics regarding areas of importance in one's life, prioritisation, setting the priorities. Also looked at barriers to performance, and explored procrastination and what underpins this. At the end we set goals for the future, and Sarah surprised me with an original idea which I have not came across before... To find out what it was, I highly recommend everyone to attend this reasonably priced course, and all the others she organises."

'I was feeling fed up and frustrated as I’d tried everything I knew to handle a tricky situation and just wasn’t getting anywhere. So, when I saw an advert for Sarah’s Influencing Skills workshop, I knew I had to be there. I was a bit apprehensive, but Sarah’s warmth of personality soon allayed any fears and it felt a very safe space. She also created a great learning environment, with lots of tasty treats provided too.
All the material was clearly and professionally presented. As Sarah outlined various influencing styles, it was like the veils had lifted. I had a number of eureka moments where I could identify exactly why my approach wasn’t working, so I could view the issue with fresh eyes and try a new strategy. I was astounded that within 24 hours I’d got agreement and resolution on my situation. In addition to the session, I also appreciated the handout materials and the 1-2-1 follow up call a month later to see how the learning had made a difference. I was happy to report a few amazing turnarounds both in professional and personal life.'
Bea Martin, Bards of Avalon
