What more could you want! Sarah immediately put him at ease, creating a warm and safe environment in which he felt he could “have a go”. The combination of Sarah’s enormous empathy and vast experience in recruiting is a winning formula. Sarah provided really helpful feedback on areas in which my son could improve and he went into the real thing feeling confident and well-prepared. We were delighted that he received an offer from his first-choice school.” Lizi Cope https://static1.squarespace.com/static/606097ca11f3e41a23732825/t/60880c3981a85d3e67c1831c/1619528858596/fg4QbIM9RpmjqxHrxelw7w.jpg Student Mentoring “Sarah helped my son prepare for his university interview in the US. She is an empathetic, thoughtful and engaging person who I really trusted to bring the best out of him. She also gave us some insightful and useful feedback along the way. My son felt confident and well prepared as he went into the interview and as a result did well. I highly recommend Sarah to any parents wishing to support their children in this way.” Matthew Westerman https://static1.squarespace.com/static/606097ca11f3e41a23732825/t/607d594db54c9b3503801a5c/1619544061852/0AFED7FA-15C3-4A1D-AE52-E8B1118EF493_1_105_c.jpg Student Mentoring “Sarah has a very calm and reassuring approach which was greatly appreciated when she was supporting my son through his senior school interview preparation. He couldn’t have been better prepared, and he got into his school of choice!” Karen Morton https://static1.squarespace.com/static/606097ca11f3e41a23732825/t/608847e018255a733e726cf5/1619544221038/196FAA7B-3DC3-4544-85AF-18F6F762CEE3_1_105_c.jpg Student Mentoring “Sarah helped our 10 year-old son prepare for the interview process as part of his 11+ school application process. She made him feel at ease in her company and he found the time he spent with her invaluable. She was able to identify specific areas for improvement in how he articulated his responses to questions, and helped him to do this in an authentic way. Most importantly, he was able to secure an offer from his preferred school and we are incredibly thankful to Sarah for the role she played in helping our son achieve this key milestone. We would have no hesitation in recommending Sarah's services to any parent going through the school application process with their children.” Abhinav Shah https://www.sarahharper-consulting.com/coaching daily 0.75 2021-05-25 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/606097ca11f3e41a23732825/t/607eccf7594bae5203cccc45/1621590429742/IMG_4250.jpg Executive Coaching My philosophy and approach I truly believe that coaching can be a life-changing experience. Through my coaching practice, I work alongside people as they find clarity for the way ahead and grow in confidence to maximise their potential. With 20 years of experience working in HR at Goldman Sachs and Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, and now as a coach, my whole career has been spent supporting people through a variety of challenges and issues as they progress through their career. I create a safe space, free of judgement, in which we can explore what is most important to you and which allows for creative thinking and effective problem solving. Feeling challenged by someone you trust will enable you to learn more about yourself, what you hope to achieve, and how you might navigate any hurdles. I will support you in identifying goals and achieving long-lasting change through listening and questioning, alongside providing constructive feedback. I find people fascinating - what motivates us, why some of us behave this way and some the other, how we find our way through difficulties and come out the other side. The more we know about ourselves - what makes us tick, and the impact that we have on others - the greater our chances are of living in a more fulfilled and authentic way. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/606097ca11f3e41a23732825/t/60a387dfb17d4e2baabbfc77/1621329908260/IMG_2178.jpeg Executive Coaching - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/606097ca11f3e41a23732825/t/60962a69ef1e507d59c94e34/1621255296703/IMG_2363.jpeg Executive Coaching How I work and what you can expect I have an authentic, open and informal style with clear and direct communication. I am action-oriented and forward-looking. Following our coaching sessions, clients say that they: are a more competent leader are better equipped to deal with challenges are more confident know and understand themselves better make better decisions have a clearer picture as to the path ahead feel happier and more positive I will be as flexible as possible to establish a working partnership that is best for you. I normally suggest 6 sessions of 1.5 hours each over a 6 month period. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/606097ca11f3e41a23732825/t/608805206150ec66adbb81fd/1620454127789/IMG_4198.jpeg Executive Coaching - Natasha Wear - CEO, Zopa P2P “Sarah is really great to work with - she was able to effectively challenge me to identify the root cause of what was causing potential headaches but also create a very supportive environment for me to build up and test new ideas and ways of thinking with her.” https://static1.squarespace.com/static/606097ca11f3e41a23732825/t/6071423c80b1b227e3f18445/1621254119596/YX5mymZlTF68QszNYvxomA.jpg Executive Coaching - Ben O’Donnell - Children’s Literature and Education Consultant “Sarah has been a hugely helpful coach with a professional, astute and insightful approach. At a transitional point in my career, our conversations proved instrumental in unpicking my own thinking, offering new perspectives and important challenges that allowed me to arrive at meaningful conclusions as to my own ambitions and how to realise them. I was always assured that Sarah's focus was to provide space and direction for me, and for my thought processes, while her understanding and insight ensured a rigour and thoroughness that inspired instant confidence. I would happily recommend Sarah to anyone looking to reflect on or develop their professional standing, career or decision making processes.” https://static1.squarespace.com/static/606097ca11f3e41a23732825/t/60880d02b3f6431a2260e32c/1620454155299/EAWF9220.jpeg Executive Coaching - Harriet Armston-Clarke - Director, TVF International “I looked forward to each session as I always came away with new approaches and techniques which I was able to put into action as soon as I returned to the office. These transformed my ability to prioritise work, tackle difficult issues head on and ultimately get more out of my team. In addition, Sarah helped me to get to know myself, giving me renewed confidence in my abilities which in turn has made me a more competent - and happier - leader. I couldn’t recommend Sarah enough!” https://static1.squarespace.com/static/606097ca11f3e41a23732825/t/607ece474530fe6196011ce4/1620454166857/IMG_4251.jpg Executive Coaching - Christopher Osborne - Real Estate Investment Manager “Sarah's executive coaching sessions were really valuable for me. There is now much more clarity and structure to how I approach my near term career goals. The sessions invariably triggered useful ideas and thoughts that weren't present before. Sarah also boosted my confidence and self-esteem. Onwards and upwards!” https://static1.squarespace.com/static/606097ca11f3e41a23732825/t/607ecd9e2e00eb022cd5e863/1620454178894/Sms0ZYUpR3WSWnBkDZybFA.jpg Executive Coaching - Emily Tilden-Smith - Lawyer, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer “I found the sessions really liberating and always looked forward to them – it was a pleasure to be able to discuss freely my thoughts and to be listened to. Sarah helped me frame and explore opportunities and concerns through her thoughtful questions in our discussions; she struck the perfect balance between listening to my ideas but also challenging my thinking through her insightful questions to help me find the best solution to the issue being discussed in that session. In doing so, she helped me build my self-awareness and I think I now have a better understanding of my strengths and weaknesses such that I can tailor my plans more effectively going forward. In her coaching sessions Sarah also draws from her wealth of experience from her own career which sets her apart from other coaches I have worked with.” https://www.sarahharper-consulting.com/about-me daily 0.75 2021-05-25 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/606097ca11f3e41a23732825/t/60a4e204a7222352acea9839/1621418562942/03072020_CL_Sarah+Harper_+332.jpeg About Me - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/606097ca11f3e41a23732825/t/606f245a48276f1314f6c262/1621338932528/SaTUR6nDQfGyORmzdgTvMw.jpg About Me - I am married to Nick and we have a daughter, Daisy.
