What are the tangible results of your coaching experience?
What are the intangible results of your coaching experience?
It is hard to say what intangible efforts resulted in finding work, but consistency is the most critical intangible word that comes to mind.
What are Sarah’s strengths as a coach?
Positive energy, honesty, great listener, and homework that helped me stay the course.
What was memorable or meaningful about your coaching experience? Would you change anything?
I might have waited a little longer to hire Sarah so that I would have had a less emotional reaction to losing my job. I went into fight or flight mode and was still in shock about losing my job. I wasn’t my best self. Sarah recognized this and said it was ok to breathe and take a moment.
What prompted you to hire Sarah to be your coach?
I decided to re-enter marketing after a career change and a yearlong break from the workforce. Sarah had coached my sister, who found a great new job, so I took the referral. I needed help deciding what type of job I wanted and what organization to join.
What are the tangible results of your coaching experience?
I have interviewed for several positions that excite me, and I am close to landing a great marketing job. I have a beautiful vision board that presents my dream, helping me take daily actions toward my goals. I have a smoking resume that highlights my particular skills and a strong cover letter template. I interview better, too, as a result of prep work with Sarah.
I also have a strong network. Sarah encouraged me to reach out along the way, and relationships with former colleagues and community peers feel stronger than ever, which is especially supportive when re-entering the paid workforce.
What are the intangible results of your coaching experience?
I have a completely different approach to job seeking. Sarah’s coaching helped me truly understand my needs and wants and how to decide whether each opportunity meets my standards.
As a result of Sarah’s guidance and helping me find my “secret sauce,” I better recognize my unique professional strengths. I am more confident and better able to articulate my skills.
What are Sarah’s strengths as a coach?
Sarah is patient and willing to work at the pace I set. She offered gentle guidance and feedback. She is nonjudgmental, letting me guide the process with my own values and needs. At the same time, as a coach, she held me accountable. I worked harder on my career goals because she was there.
What was memorable or meaningful about your coaching experience? Would you change anything?
I hit a stride when I learned more about Sarah’s approach, using the law of attraction, manifestation, abundance mindset, gratitude, and other spiritual techniques. I read a few great books on the topics and now practice manifesting in other realms of my life. This stuff just works, and it’s a much more balanced way to live than fear-based and closed-off.
I recall a standard weekly check-in call when I was too distracted with personal issues to focus on resume wording. Sarah used the opportunity to look at big-picture needs and wants. In a way, that call also helped define my job needs, even though we didn’t address specifics. She is flexible and knows people are people and life happens.
Do you feel your coaching dollars were worth it? Why or Why Not?
Yes. I coached with Sarah for three months and saw the value right away. She got me into action and encouraged me to hold every decision to my standards. (My default may have been to take the first offer, not apply for a “dream job” because I lacked one qualification, etc.) The coaching fees are more than offset with Sarah’s help in identifying my professional value and negotiating higher salaries.
Why do you think coaching works?
Coaching keeps me accountable. Coaching brings out my strengths, encouraging me to stretch even more to become more effective. It’s also nice to have a talented, likable professional on my side!
Anything else you would like to share?
I will recommend Sarah U as a coach to anyone looking to change jobs. She truly wants her clients to succeed. She is authentic, positive, and super smart.
We are at the beginning of a new season and with each new season there is an opportunity to reset and refocus.
Now is a great time for you to reconnect with what is most important to you.
Is there an area of your life which you feel stuck?
I encourage you to look at your life and ask
What is really holding you back from taking the next step?
Not being prepared
Fear of the unknown
Not being focused
Not enough time
Not enough energy
Not enough money
Not having an accountability partner
As your coach I will listen to you, understand your needs and what you really want your life and career to look like going forward.
During your 1×1 coaching session I will ask you powerful questions to help you gain clarity, create awareness, build momentum and develop action steps to keep you moving forward on shaping the life and career you really want.
I am your accountability and success partner. Coaching is a powerful process, and you will get out of coaching what you put into it. Your results will vary depending your personal work and level of commitment to achieve your goals.
Coaching Success Stories
“Sarah has been a tremendous help to me in finding and securing a new position in the Insurance industry. She was very supportive of my job search, responsive to my huge volume of questions and explained the details of the job searching process to me. Sarah took time to get to know me, specifically my background and what were my ambitions and career goals in the Insurance industry. Sarah could not have done more for me. I would highly recommend Sarah to anyone that is looking to transition to another professional position.” ~ Kirby from Pennsylvania.
“Sarah was always there to offer resources, advise and honest feedback. While my focus was finding my next opportunity, Sarah made sure to touch base on how I was doing and ensure that I was still trying to take time for myself to process things. As I was looking for opportunities, I would discuss the details with Sarah to get her feedback or her thoughts. I value Sarah’s advise and I am so appreciative to have had the opportunity to be placed with such an amazing coach. Recently we had a 30 day check in as I transitioned into my new role and I had the opportunity to thank Sarah for being with me through this process. We joked about how my new position is such a perfect fit and truly is a “Cinderella Story” to which I have aptly named Sarah my fairy Godmother. I honestly do not feel that I would have come this far and maintained my personal brand if it was not for the support of Sarah.” ~ Sarah from Ohio
“Coaching with Sarah is so worth it. I’ve learned a lot through seminars and training on how to become a better leader and find my happiness, but nothing compares to having a coach who gets to know you personally and can give guidance tailored to your own unique personality and occurrences in your own life.” ~ Pam from Texas
