Coaching Program

Are you an HR Leader or Professional and experiencing some of these challenges:

Executive Presence 1.jpg

You are constantly fire-fighting (reactive) leaving little time to focus on long-term strategic priorities (proactive)​

​

You want to project confidence, credibility, and gravitas in meetings and presentations, but you struggle to speak up and be assertive

​

You work hard to influence leaders, yet too often you’re left picking up the pieces from their misstep​

 

You struggle to align HR initiatives as the overall business strategy is unclear or undefined

​

​It feels awkward to highlight your achievements

Executive presence is like the anchor of a ship. When waters are calm, the anchor provides reassurance — everyone knows stability is secured. When storms hit, the anchor holds firm against the pull of uncertainty.

Are you ready to become the anchor standing  strong during a storm?

Why this matters: Executive presence allows HR leaders to step beyond day-to-day operations and demonstrate strategic impact. By showing confidence, clarity, and credibility, they shift perceptions from support function to trusted advisor. This transformation strengthens their influence on strategy, inspires confidence in stakeholders, and drives lasting organisational success.

When building executive presence, it is crucial that HR Leaders focus on:

  • Driving business results through value adding solutions

  • Assertive communication practices

  • Being a strategic influence and trusted sounding board

  • Articulating your achievements that align to organisational goals

This model outlines that three components that are essential in achieving executive presence.

​​

Clarity means knowing who you are, what you stand for, and how your role contributes to the bigger picture.

 

When you’re clear on your value, purpose, and direction, you communicate with confidence, inspire trust, and create alignment.

​

Clarity

​​​

Capability is turning intention into impact.

 

It’s about having the skills to speak assertively, handle tough conversations, and align every action to business goals—so you can influence outcomes and drive lasting change.

​

Capability

​​​

Confidence comes from leading authentically, sharing your unique voice, and showing how your work
drives value.

 

It’s less about volume, more about being grounded in your worth—building trust and respect through clarity and alignment.

Testimonials 

Robert Hughes

– Senior Project Manager, Sigma Consulting

Working with Sarah has made a real difference to how I manage difficult conversations and high-stakes meetings. I’ve been in the game a long time, but Sarah helped me unpack where some of my internal pressure was coming from, especially around presenting to stakeholders. She didn’t try to rewire who I am, just gave me the tools to sharpen the way I communicate and stay in control, even when things get heated on site or in a boardroom.
 

What I’ve appreciated most is that her coaching sessions are practical. We worked through real examples from live projects, not theory and I walked away with better language, better preparation habits, and a better understanding of how to influence without going in too hard. I’ve noticed a real shift in how I approach meetings and handle pressure and I’m still using the playbook she helped me build. I would recommend Sarah as a coach if you’re looking for sustainable change.
