Over 25 years, I have led teams of professionals in providing remarkable and awe-inspiring experiences. I’ve overseen seasonal upswings, economic challenges, grand openings, a complete brand re-design, layoffs, and changes of ownership.

With experience and enthusiasm, I create a culture of belonging, trust, drive, and success for teams in sizes from 6 to 60.

COACHING
FOR
AMBITIOUS
PEOPLE

 
 

 

During a 6-month one-on-one professional engagement with Stephen Covey, author of The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, I honed my skills as a coach and leader. I later officially certified those skills at the country’s foremost coach training program, The Coaches Training Institute.

I now operate my own private coaching practice, and for 5 years, I served as a coach for Seth Godin’s altMBA. I am proud to have led clients through intentional inquiry as they work toward promotions, navigate career changes, and maneuver the journeys of their own entrepreneurship.

As a people leader, I use coaching as a skill to encourage best practices, healthy work habits, and engaged employees.

EDUCATION
AND
TRAINING


 

For as long as I’ve been working, I’ve been teaching.

I’m energized by opportunities to open minds and create awareness for one person or a group of many. My front-of-room style is equally professional and relaxed, creating a safe space for all involved.

Testimonials

“Sari always goes the extra mile to make sure that the people she is working with (and her candidates) are having a WORLD CLASS experience. She is brilliant and joyful-- and brings light and energy to everyone around her. She makes you feel excited, confident, and supported. She was crucial to driving inclusion & community for our team. It was an honor to work alongside Sari, and she will be an asset wherever the future leads her.”

• ALLIE MCMANUS, Enablement Manager, DemandBase



“You can expect Sari to show up, execute and return the next day with the same level of energy. Throughout the years I’ve known Sari, I’ve recognized her passion comes from working to inspire, educate and support both her team and all those around her.”

• BRIAN SHAPIRO, General Manager, Amista Winery



“Sari’s ability to immediately connect with and influence this group of strangers in a remarkably short period of time accelerated and intensified the collective experience of the entire cohort and left an indelible mark on me individually.” 

• WILLIAM “BATCH” BATCHELDER, Director of Business Transformation, The Energy Authority



“Sari's keen, insightful nature and joyful presence is a gift to our team. Throughout the time I worked with Sari, she's helped me re-frame situations and pushed me to think about things from new angles. She asks insightful questions with love and generosity, and challenges the status quo. I'm honored to work with her.”

• AL GILLIOM, Composer and fellow altMBA Coach



“Sari was a star boss, teacher, and mentor. Her contagious enthusiasm made learning both fun and effective. She provided the space for great team-building, and gave us the tools to excel in each of our positions.”

• SUMMER YOUNGBLOOD, Massage Therapist and Nursing Student

 

“Sari is kind-hearted and very generous with her time. She played a very big role in building a strong diversity and inclusion program at Gong and I was always in awe of her spirit and energy. I hope and look forward to working with her again.”

• EDUARDO, Program Director, Gong



“Sari innately knows what drives people from all walks of life. She taps into the human condition and sources inner strengths that people didn’t know they had. She motivates the stagnant, pushes through the dredges, and breaks down the walls, all while allowing the vulnerable to feel safe.”

• KRISTEN LOOMER, Director of Operations, Berkeley Humane Society



“Sari’s facilitation of a focused discussion helped my team define our goals and mission as a working unit. From there, she guided us through the steps to create a hospitality plan that would drive us to results. Her course of action enabled us to move quickly toward success.”

• JENNIFER D. STEDMAN, Director of Marketing



“Sari smiles, a lot. Even when she isn’t in the room, that sense of fun and positivity comes through in everything she does. She makes her work seem so easy, and yet she attends to every detail with care and intentionality. She can see the big picture, help make sense of it, then drill down to the inner details and nail those too. I can't recommend Sari enough!”

•CONOR MCCARTHY, Managing Director, Empathy Test LTD



“Sari is all about daring you to ask (and answer) the questions you didn’t know you should be asking. With kindness, compassion, and gentle humor, she will guide you through your challenges, cheer your victories, great or small, and turn your defeats into educational experiences.”

• MARK MINER, Wellness Educator
