Women leaders in mission-driven organizations:

Asking for what you need isn’t selfish, it’s strategic

When you thrive, your mission thrives. 

Are YOU still missing from the to do list? I’ve been there. Let’s connect.

Hi, I’m Sarah.

I work with experienced women professionals who have earned their seat at the leadership table but question don’t prioritize their own needs. With 20 years in the non-profit sector, I've supported thousands of leaders across the globe to invest in their personal growth without the guilt—enabling them to amplify their impact while creating a more sustainable life.

As a CEO, senior director, or team leader, you've dedicated yourself to your mission—often at the expense of your own wellbeing. The result? Overwhelm that threatens everything you have worked for.

I’ve been there. As a leader in a global non-profit, I was deeply committed to the mission—but I started wanting something more. I knew I needed a change, but I didn’t know what it should look like—or how to make space for it.

With the support of my coach, I decided to embrace the unknown and step into a new chapter of leadership—one where I could keep doing the work that matters without losing sight of my purpose.

Coaching gave me permission to prioritize myself without compromising my commitment to impact. I'm here to help you do the same.

Work with me

Together, we will take you from stressed to strategic.

We will establish boundaries that protect your energy, tackle challenges with fresh perspectives, and develop strategies that advance your mission while honoring your wellbeing as non-negotiable.

Do you recognize yourself here?

  • Great at delivering the work but overwhelmed by the competing demands of your leadership role

  • Feeling responsible for solving every workplace challenge while your own priorities take a back seat

  • Worried that advocating for yourself will take away from the mission

  • Running on empty from nonstop firefighting and putting the organization first

Imagine leading with:

  • Confidence in your leadership abilities that matches the expertise you’ve built over your career

  • A strong empowered team and culture of shared leadership

  • The confidence to advocate for yourself as effectively as you advocate for your work

  • Space for strategic thinking and boundaries that protect your energy and for the work that truly matters

My clients have achieved all this—without compromising their dedication to their mission

Coaching approach

As your coach, I create a confidential space where you can explore challenges unique to leaders in purpose-driven work. Even when the path forward seems unclear, I'll help you navigate complex terrain with strategies that honor both your personal needs and organizational goals.

Coaching offers something rarely found in senior leadership positions: a judgment-free space to reconnect with your purpose and explore sustainable approaches to impact. It helps you recognize that setting boundaries isn't limiting your commitment—it's ensuring you can continue making a difference for years to come.

Together, we'll redefine what successful leadership looks like for YOU—committing to an approach that puts equal value on mission advancement and leader wellbeing.
