“Sarah weaves a full presence, keen observation, and heartfelt humanity into her work with leaders and their organizations. These attributes allow her to fully engage in critical team moments when a clear mind is most needed: moments of conflict, of doubt, of inspiration, of aspiration. As a result, groups experience the value she adds not just at that critical juncture, but in the weeks and months that follow, as they gain the ability to see themselves and their potential with fresh eyes.”
— Ben Bratt, Sr. Manager of Organization Development ~ T-Mobile

“Sarah has done an amazing job for us at the Woodinville Water District with the facilitation of meetings and with the mediation of employee issues. Possibly her greatest strength is in the lost art of listening. She interviewed our entire staff to benchmark our status as a functioning organization and I received countless positive comments regarding how comfortable folks were in talking with her. She was THE key to our success. And she's been a wonderful sounding board for thoughts, issues and ideas around my own leadership. She has provided me with a great deal of excellent insight and advice. Her thoughts and comments are wise, thoughtful, sometimes humbling, and always valuable.”
— Ken Howe, General Manager ~ Woodinville Water District

"Sarah is a fantastic instructor. She did an excellent job of tailoring the leadership course design and the class discussions to exactly what we needed in the moment. I've left every session with a lot to think about and find myself discussing the content with peers, friends, and family."

“Sarah is a very gifted facilitator. She has a beautiful and effective way of engaging, motivating and leading. Sarah understands the dynamics of a group living in the tension of its polarities and helps the group envision and break open to new possibilities. Sarah thoroughly enjoys what she does and it shows. She gets the job done and connects people and their vision to the here and now, for the future.”
— Angela Ying, Senior Pastor ~ Bethany United Church of Christ, Seattle

“I have worked with Sarah for several years as a co-consultant and my own practice has benefited in many ways from the time I’ve spent partnering with her. In working with Sarah to help organizations achieve wholeness, I was able to witness her interactions with clients in several different contexts, and I was always impressed and usually learned something in the process! Sarah brings a rare mix of compassion with honestly; patience with efficiency; and direction with flexibility. I know that any organization  is lucky enough to work with Sarah will not be disappointed.”

 “You were an excellent facilitator. You put structure in the day, but also kept out of everyone’s way where it made sense to let the groups work. You pushed everyone to disconnect from linear and logical thought, which is often not so creative. You got all of us thinking really well about our organization, about problem-solving, about the practicalities of the future.” 

— Lyall Bush, former Executive Director ~ Richard Hugo House

"I learned skills that I can immediately use and apply in my workplace. This was one of the best classes I've ever taken. Sarah was an excellent instructor."

"I highly recommend Sarah's personal discernment retreat for anyone at a career impasse. I had many aha moments throughout the day that gave me a fresh, enlightening perspective on my core strengths, attributes, and passions. By the end of the day, Sarah had also helped me craft a robust list of action items and next steps based on these new self-discoveries. I felt I finished the retreat with a game plan for moving forward. Sarah also knows how to tailor the retreat to your needs. She comes in with a framework, but the process is dynamic and Sarah always knows exactly when and how to shift gears to maximize the results. She never misses a beat. I also appreciated her razor-sharp listening skills, and her ability to be simultaneously inspiring and realistic, and kind yet honest. Sarah has an amazing gift, and anyone who participates in this retreat will be very fortunate to benefit from it."
