STRATEGY
Sarah partners with organisations to support strategic and development work relating to strategy development, organisational design, culture & engagement, leadership & team development.
Strategy Development
As a coach with experience leading teams, delivering complex change, and designing strategy, Sarah supports founders and leaders as a trusted thinking partner. Her role is not to provide answers, but to create the conditions for clearer thinking; offering the right balance of stimulus, structure, and support.
Through thoughtful challenge, systems-level perspective, and reflective inquiry, Sarah helps leaders make sense of complexity, surface what really matters, and move forward with intention. This work supports the development of strategy that is not only robust and aligned, but grounded in the realities of people, culture, and context.
Organisational Design
With a wealth of of experience designing and delivering complex organisation change, Sarah understands the significance that an organisation’s architecture has on both daily experiences and long-term outcome. Advising on and shaping organisational design is something Sarah is passionate about. She enjoys collaborating with human-centred, impact-led businesses who take a holistic approach to organisational development.
Culture & Engagement
Sarah is passionate about creating new dialogue around workplace culture. Both organisational culture and employee engagement are at the forefront of conversation over recent years, but the fundamentals are often missing. Her approach is inherently human; inspired by the natural world and systems-thinking. The aim is to design healthy social architecture and build strong social infrastructure that upholds the integrity of your organisational ecosystem. We shift the focus to regular care and maintenance of this system, rather than grand gestures on annual events.
Leadership & Teams
Building a healthy organisational ‘ecosystem’ is about the confluence of design, social infrastructure and healthy leadership.
Many organisational challenges are symptoms of unhealthy relationship dynamics. When people have healthy blueprints for relating, to themselves, with others and to the (eco)system of the organisation, everything else follows; engagement increases, innovation sparks, creativity flows and results last.
Developing a blueprint for leadership and team dynamics is fundamental. Psychological safety is the foundation for high performing and engaged teams, this is well documented but rarely embodied in practice.
Many conventional models for ‘leadership’ are not reflective of current evidence and built around outdated organisational structures. Future-facing organisations will need leaders and teams with healthy blueprints for communication, collaboration, conflict and repair. These most human of skills are more valuable now than ever.
