Working with Sara was a turning point during my career transition from the military to civilian life. As a Marine officer, I’ve had the privilege of serving with extraordinary people, but Sara brought something different—an unwavering ability to connect, empathize, relate, and champion on my behalf. Her unique coaching style blended insight through high emotional intelligence and structure with purpose.
Through our purpose-driven conversations, Sara helped me recognize strengths I’d been underusing and guided me toward a future I hadn’t fully envisioned for myself. This may have been the hardest period of my life, even harder than becoming a Marine. Sara didn’t make the process easier—she made it manageable, more grounded, and ultimately more successful.
