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 their right to ask for what they need. With 20 years in the non-profit sector, I've supported thousands of leaders across the globe to invest in their own development without the guilt—enabling them to amplify their impact while creating a more sustainable life.
As a CEO, senior director, or initiative leader, you've dedicated yourself to your mission and team—often at the expense of your own wellbeing and growth. The result? Burnout that threatens everything you have worked for.
I've been there. As a leader in a global non-profit, I was passionate about the mission and I was struggling. I knew something needed to change, but unsure of what change would look like or what it would take, I felt stuck.
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 burnout to balance. We will establish boundaries that protect your energy, tackle systemic challenges with fresh perspectives, and develop strategies that advance your mission while honoring your wellbeing as non-negotiable.
Do you recognize yourself here?
Feeling responsible for solving every workplace challenge while dropping the ball on your own priorities
Believing that advocating for yourself means taking something away from your mission
Exhausted from putting organizational needs above your own
Leading with passion but finding yourself increasingly isolated at the top
Navigating a predominantly male leadership environment where your voice gets lost
Imagine leading with:
The confidence to advocate for yourself as effectively as you advocate for your work
Boundaries that protect your energy for the work that truly matters
A leadership approach that values sustainability over sacrifice
Strategic clarity that comes from having space to think beyond constant crisis management
A peer community that understands the unique challenges of women leading in social impact
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.
