Professional Coaching and Implementation Support

Coaching supports individuals or teams achieve their specific goals by facilitating growth, enhancing well-being, skills, and performance.

Implementation support can take a coaching approach to help individuals and teams adopt new frameworks, processes, or strategies, aligning initiatives with their specific needs to ensure effective use of the new system.

  • The ICF Core Competencies guide effective coaching: act ethically, think like a coach, set clear agreements, build trust, stay present, listen deeply, spark insight, and support growth.

  • The 15 Core Competencies (Jensen et al., 2024) include co-learning, brokering, addressing power, co-design, tailoring support, assessing needs, understanding context, applying frameworks and strategies, facilitation, communication, improvement cycles, relationship growth, team development, capacity building, and cultivating leaders.

Coaching Style

I coach from the heart, inviting my coachees to explore the heart of the topics they bring through meaningful, transformative conversations. My style is simple, deep and rooted in warmth, support, flexibility and thoughtful encouragement.

I blend the ICF Code of Ethics with an authentic, genuine approach.

Approach

Each person holds strengths and untapped potential - their “gold” waiting to be discovered. Their greatness.

Using my OPEN DOOR Coaching Model, I guide growth through:

OBJECTIVES:


With curiosity, I help coachees clarify their strengths, passions and goals aligned with their values.

PRESENT REALITY:

I use powerful questions to explore current challenges and obstacles.

EXPLORE POSSIBILITIES:

I encourage new perspectives and provide honest, supportive feedback.

NEXT STEPS:

We define clear steps, foster accountability, and celebrate progress.

Sarah has this amazing ability to provide a space that just let’s me trust her, trust myself, trust the process and so much more.

I’m always in a better mood after my sessions with Sarah!

“Au travers de nos séances de coaching, Sarah m’a permis de retrouver un état de sérénité et de confiance. J’ai pu écouter ma voix intérieure, avancer avec légèreté sur mon chemin de vie personnel et aussi dans mon parcours de futur coach. Son authenticité, sa douceur et son côté très maternant, combiné avec son sourire communicatif et son énergie solaire m’ont permis de faire des grands pas sur mon cheminement. Je citerais en particulier cette faculté incroyable de me permettre de m’ouvrir totalement, allant au cœur du sujet, et permettant alors de débloquer rapidement le / les nœuds. Un grand merci à toi Sarah, je me sens vraiment apaisée et plus ancrée pour la route qui m’attend. Je sais aussi que j’ai trouvé avec toi un ange qui veillera toujours à ce que je ne perde pas de vue ces belles choses.”
