Success Story

Radiant Abundant Confident

Today I want to share with you a story of Radiance, Abundance, Confidence and Success.
Meet Erin, a finance professional from Kansas City.
The coach/client relationship is confidential, and Erin is open to share her story with you. My hope is that you will see yourself in her story and Take Action to create the change you want in your life and career.
What prompted you to hire Sarah to be your coach?
I knew I was ready for a career change but wasn’t sure where to even begin. I had worked with Sarah in the past and she successfully helped me land my current role. I knew she’d help me do the same with a new opportunity. She was the first person I called.
What are the tangible results of your coaching experience?
Sarah helped give me a confidence boost when I needed it most. She coached me on interviewing and negotiating. She asked me thought provoking questions to help me identify my unique skills and abilities and to articulate my story and worth. Which all led to an opportunity with a 30%+ increase in base payand 40%+ increase in total compensation.
What are the intangible results of your coaching experience?
I have shed so much negative emotion and opened myself up to new opportunities and abundance. This has led to an overall increase in my mental and physical health which has had a direct impact on my family and close relationships.
What are Sarah’s strengths as a coach?
Sarah has the amazing ability to ask really hard questions while still being so very kind,genuine and caring. She won’t let you get away with a BS answer either! She listens so well and helps guide you on your journey.
What was memorable or meaningful about your coaching experience? Would you change anything?
My coaching experience transpired over 9 months. Sarah was with me every step and encouraged me all the way. She held me accountable and coached me on decisions throughout the process. I even turned down an offer that wasn’t a good fit and her coaching helped me see that and gave me the confidence to walk away knowing there was something better out there for me. I don’t know that I would have realized that on my own.
Do you feel your coaching dollars were worth it? Why or Why Not?
My coaching dollars were well worth it! It was an investment and making it held me accountable. Every time I interviewed, and someone commented on my resume I felt so confident knowing that Sarah had helped me professionally revive it! I felt proud! And I firmly believe it helped me secure the position and pay I was seeking.
Why do you think coaching works?
Coaching for me gives me the confidence to move forward towards a goal no matter how hard it may seem. When we’re in a position of looking for a new career path, we can feel deflated, burnt out and unworthy. Sarah is the perfect person to step in and help you rediscover your worth, get really clear on what you want and help you create a plan to get there. She doesn’t give up until the work is done! I would use Sarah over and over again!
Thank you, Erin! When she called me this week to share the amazing news, I could feel her energy radiating through the phone.

Career Coaching Success Story

Another incredible testimonial:
What prompted you to hire Sarah to be your coach?
Sarah has shown success in this area, and she and I connected with similar values.

What are the tangible results of your coaching experience?

To stay focused and to have patience.  To give myself some grace as I navigated this space.

What are the intangible results of your coaching experience?

It is hard to say what intangible efforts resulted in finding work, but consistency is the most critical intangible word that comes to mind.

What are Sarah’s strengths as a coach?

Positive energy, honesty, great listener, and homework that helped me stay the course.

What was memorable or meaningful about your coaching experience? Would you change anything?

I might have waited a little longer to hire Sarah so that I would have had a less emotional reaction to losing my job. I went into fight or flight mode and was still in shock about losing my job.  I wasn’t my best self.  Sarah recognized this and said it was ok to breathe and take a moment.

Do you feel your coaching dollars were worth it? Why or Why Not?
Yes, because it was hard for me to get out of my own head and Sarah helped with calming the storm and refocusing.  Plus, having a person that I could relate to helped a lot.  Not all coaches have the best interests of the person in mind.  She let me decide on what was the best options based on my personal situation.
Why do you think coaching works?
Coaching works because it helps to have a different perspective and to have help setting work goals and future self-goals.  It is not all about getting the job but about getting your mind and body healthy and ready to do the work.  Sarah helped me see that it is an entire picture, not just about the next job. She encouraged me to think bigger and not settle.

Success Story

Success Story: Sara, A Marketing Freelancer from Kansas City

 

What prompted you to hire Sarah to be your coach?

I decided to re-enter marketing after a career change and a yearlong break from the workforce. Sarah had coached my sister, who found a great new job, so I took the referral. I needed help deciding what type of job I wanted and what organization to join.

What are the tangible results of your coaching experience?

I have interviewed for several positions that excite me, and I am close to landing a great marketing job. I have a beautiful vision board that presents my dream, helping me take daily actions toward my goals. I have a smoking resume that highlights my particular skills and a strong cover letter template. I interview better, too, as a result of prep work with Sarah.

I also have a strong network. Sarah encouraged me to reach out along the way, and relationships with former colleagues and community peers feel stronger than ever, which is especially supportive when re-entering the paid workforce.

What are the intangible results of your coaching experience?

I have a completely different approach to job seeking. Sarah’s coaching helped me truly understand my needs and wants and how to decide whether each opportunity meets my standards.

As a result of Sarah’s guidance and helping me find my “secret sauce,” I better recognize my unique professional strengths. I am more confident and better able to articulate my skills.

What are Sarah’s strengths as a coach?

Sarah is patient and willing to work at the pace I set. She offered gentle guidance and feedback. She is nonjudgmental, letting me guide the process with my own values and needs. At the same time, as a coach, she held me accountable. I worked harder on my career goals because she was there.

What was memorable or meaningful about your coaching experience? Would you change anything?

I hit a stride when I learned more about Sarah’s approach, using the law of attraction, manifestation, abundance mindset, gratitude, and other spiritual techniques. I read a few great books on the topics and now practice manifesting in other realms of my life. This stuff just works, and it’s a much more balanced way to live than fear-based and closed-off.

I recall a standard weekly check-in call when I was too distracted with personal issues to focus on resume wording. Sarah used the opportunity to look at big-picture needs and wants. In a way, that call also helped define my job needs, even though we didn’t address specifics. She is flexible and knows people are people and life happens.

Do you feel your coaching dollars were worth it? Why or Why Not?

Yes. I coached with Sarah for three months and saw the value right away. She got me into action and encouraged me to hold every decision to my standards. (My default may have been to take the first offer, not apply for a “dream job” because I lacked one qualification, etc.) The coaching fees are more than offset with Sarah’s help in identifying my professional value and negotiating higher salaries.

Why do you think coaching works?

Coaching keeps me accountable. Coaching brings out my strengths, encouraging me to stretch even more to become more effective. It’s also nice to have a talented, likable professional on my side!

Anything else you would like to share?

I will recommend Sarah U as a coach to anyone looking to change jobs. She truly wants her clients to succeed. She is authentic, positive, and super smart.

Success Story

Don’t you love a good story!

Today I am very grateful to one of my life & career coaching clients, Madison, an Audio Engineer from Kansas City, for sharing her success story.
The coach/client relationship is very private and confidential; however, Madison, would like to share her coaching experience with you.
My hope is that you may see yourself in her story and if she can do it, YOU can too.
What prompted you to hire Sarah to be your coach?
I was at a point in my career where I was lacking motivation and couldn’t see the light at the end of the tunnel and needed someone from the outside to help me see the best way, I could tackle my goals and find success.
What are the tangible results of your coaching experience?
Working with Sarah, I completely restructured the way I thought about myself and what I was capable of. We worked on my resume, my interview skills, and the way I presented myself professionally. I was offered my dream job within 2 months of coaching with Sarah.
What are the intangible results of your coaching experience?
I have noticed a real shift in the way I feel about myself and what I’m capable of achieving. Sarah helped me realize that even the way I talk about myself affects my life and my reality.
What are Sarah’s strengths as a coach?
Sarah is amazing at helping you realize your potential in a real and measurable way. Which makes you see that most of your obstacles aren’t really as big as you may have thought they were. This helped me so much!
What was memorable or meaningful about your coaching experience? Would you change anything?
One of my favorite moments from my coaching experience was when Sarah took me through a visualizing meditation where I was saw myself a year ago, myself now, and another year into the future. This was very eye opening for me and really helped me put into perspective the gratitude of where I’ve been and how that got me here, and all of the possibilities of where I can go from here.
Do you feel your coaching dollars were worth it? Why or Why Not?
I think my dollars were extremely worth it. Investing in myself was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I have my professional career, newfound gratitude and self-love so that I simply find more joy in my life, and a business plan in order to achieve my passions and ultimately create a full-time career with it.
Why do you think coaching works?
I think coaching works because you are taking accountability and bringing a professional in to help you make a plan to start changing routines, creating new habits and taking steps towards your goals and aspirations. If you haven’t actually done something before, I think it makes perfect sense to me to hire someone who has achieved similar goals and knows the frustrations to help you learn how to manage how much work goes into whatever goal you have.
Anything else you would like to share?
Hiring a Sarah as my life & career coach is one of the best things, I’ve done for myself. If you’re on the fence, I recommend taking the leap and betting on you!
Are you ready to make a change in your life & career?
Do you need a coach to listen to you, ask you powerful questions and be your accountability partner to make positive, significant, sustainable change in your life?

Are You Ready to Take the Next Step?

We are at the beginning of a new season and with each new season there is an opportunity to reset and refocus.

Now is a great time for you to reconnect with what is most important to you.

Is there an area of your life which you feel stuck?

I encourage you to look at your life and ask

What is really holding you back from taking the next step?

Not being prepared

Fear of the unknown

Not being focused

Not enough time

Not enough energy

Not enough money

Not having an accountability partner

As your coach I will listen to you, understand your needs and what you really want your life and career to look like going forward.

During your 1×1 coaching session I will ask you powerful questions to help you gain clarity, create awareness, build momentum and develop action steps to keep you moving forward on shaping the life and career you really want.

I am your accountability and success partner.  Coaching is a powerful process, and you will get out of coaching what you put into it. Your results will vary depending your personal work and level of commitment to achieve your goals.

Coaching Success Stories

“Sarah has been a tremendous help to me in finding and securing a new position in the Insurance industry. She was very supportive of my job search, responsive to my huge volume of questions and explained the details of the job searching process to me. Sarah took time to get to know me, specifically my background and what were my ambitions and career goals in the Insurance industry. Sarah could not have done more for me. I would highly recommend Sarah to anyone that is looking to transition to another professional position.” ~ Kirby from Pennsylvania.  

“Sarah was always there to offer resources, advise and honest feedback. While my focus was finding my next opportunity, Sarah made sure to touch base on how I was doing and ensure that I was still trying to take time for myself to process things. As I was looking for opportunities, I would discuss the details with Sarah to get her feedback or her thoughts. I value Sarah’s advise and I am so appreciative to have had the opportunity to be placed with such an amazing coach. Recently we had a 30 day check in as I transitioned into my new role and I had the opportunity to thank Sarah for being with me through this process. We joked about how my new position is such a perfect fit and truly is a “Cinderella Story” to which I have aptly named Sarah my fairy Godmother. I honestly do not feel that I would have come this far and maintained my personal brand if it was not for the support of Sarah.” ~ Sarah from Ohio

“Coaching with Sarah is so worth it.  I’ve learned a lot through seminars and training on how to become a better leader and find my happiness, but nothing compares to having a coach who gets to know you personally and can give guidance tailored to your own unique personality and occurrences in your own life.” ~ Pam from Texas
