I met Sarah at a training event earlier this year and knew immediately she would be a

great fit for our culture; she was “one of us”. The leadership team entrusted her to lead the important refresh of our company Values and Behaviours, and she exceeded our expectations. Sarah was engaging, grounded, and highly professional in her approach. 

She took the time to understand our business, our people, and what we wanted to achieve using both one on one conversations as well as group work. The workshop she facilitated was interactive, energising, and inclusive — it provoked new thinking in all of us and ensured every voice was heard in shaping our new Values and Behaviours. She challenged us to think creatively about how to bring our Values to life, and the outcomes were great bringing direction and inclusivity to all our team. Everyone had a great day!

We would highly recommend Sarah to any organisation wanting a facilitator who

connects with people and delivers pragmatic and meaningful results.

I had the pleasure of participating in AIM's Mini MBA in People and Culture, where Sarah Hochholzer was our training facilitator. During my participation in the course, Sarah demonstrated an impressive ability to create a positive and interactive online learning environment. Sarah's friendly and patient demeanour, combined with her engaging delivery, made complex concepts accessible and memorable. Her use of personal stories effectively embedded knowledge and ensured practical understanding. I was particularly impressed by her ability to maintain cohort connection and motivation in a virtual setting. Sarah is an exceptional facilitator, and I wholeheartedly recommend her

Six months ago, I began coaching with Sarah, using GENOS Emotional Intelligence Assessment as a foundation. My leadership lacked empathy, and my relationships with colleagues and stakeholders suffered as a result. Today, I’m a calmer, more self-aware, and compassionate leader. I’ve learned to set healthy boundaries, let go of being “always on,” and lead by example. I approach challenges with curiosity and openness, asking questions and exploring solutions collaboratively.  My team is more cohesive, and our dynamic is stronger than ever. Sarah’s support was invaluable. She provided a safe space for reflection, held me accountable, offered practical strategies for growth and helped me build emotional awareness and executive presence.  I wholeheartedly recommend Sarah’s coaching to anyone seeking growth, clarity, and stronger connections with themselves and others. This program didn’t just help me lead better—it helped me ‘live’ better.

Sarah helped broaden my thinking on personal development and resilience. She is an empathetic coach who is insightful and practical. I have valued our time together and happily recommend her as a coach.

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.

Sarah is an outstanding facilitator with great energy, and she brings clarity and real-world relevance to her sessions. I recently attended the Effective Communication course, and it was engaging, practical and packed with strategies I could apply immediately. She has a rare talent for making learning both impactful and enjoyable – highly recommended!

I recently had the pleasure of attending a Change Management course facilitated by Sarah at AIM, and I was thoroughly impressed. Sarah's facilitation style is engaging, thoughtful and highly effective. She took the time to understand each participant's goals and tailored the learning experience to ensure we could apply key concepts directly to our real work challenges.
Her depth of knowledge in HR and Change is exceptional and she has a unique ability to connect with learners in a way that makes the content truly resonate. Sarah's practical insights and rich experience in leading Change made the course incredibly valuable. I left feeling confident and equipped with actionable strategies and frameworks to implement in my work.
I highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking to deepen their understanding of Change Management and gain practical tools for driving successful change!

I had the pleasure of seeing Sarah speak at a Sharp& Carter networking event and was struck by her ability to connect so naturally with the audience. Her presenting style was engaging, approachable, and full of authenticity! Sarah weaved personal stories with clear key messages, leaving you with practical takeaways you can apply straight away. What stood out to me even more was the support Sarah offered me after the event when I reached out for a 15minute call that turned into an hour! She generously gave her time and shared further insights and practical steps to assist me in my mentoring journey. The combination of presence, storytelling, and ongoing care makes Sarah someone I’d wholeheartedly recommend to any organisation seeking to inspire, engage and create lasting impact.

I would highly recommend Sarah as a consultant/presenter to any organisation. I was recently part of a group who graduated from the Mini MBA People and Culture which Sarah was the presenter. She was highly engaging, very knowledgeable, empowered the group collectively and encouraged individually. Sarah's knowledge around strategic management, leadership, emotional intelligence, different coaching models, workforce planning, stakeholder engagement strategies, etc was truly inspiring and so helpful on our learning journey. I personally came away with so many practical real world strategies and tools that I know it will make a difference in my career and current organisation. THANKYOU Sarah!!!!

Had the pleasure of attending a one-day Performance Management workshop facilitated by Sarah through AIM. Sarah was incredibly knowledgeable and brought the content to life by making the session fun, interactive, and highly relevant. Sarah was able to draw on her lived experience connecting the theory to real life! Thanks Sarah!
