Overview
Sarah is an experienced learning and development consultant, facilitator and coach who helps people, teams and organisations turn insight into practical change.
Her facilitation style is warm, energetic and inclusive, with an appropriate balance of support and challenge. In terms of approach, she combines clear structure with the flexibility to respond to the people in the room, using their experiences and workplace challenges to create useful, participant-centred learning and a space where people feel comfortable contribute and learning from one another.
Outside work, Sarah spends her time volunteering for her local youth football team and enjoys long walks with her family and two dogs.
Sarah specialises in leadership/management and team development, with a particular focus on equality, diversity and inclusion. She works with teams to build awareness, respect and curiosity about the diversity of experiences and perspectives that strengthen how people work together. She also supports leaders and boards of trustees to develop the confidence and practical skills to lead inclusively and create cultures in which people feel valued, able to contribute and that they belong.
Sarah is based in Hertfordshire and works across the UK.
