I help leaders in professional services make the shift from expert contributor to strategic leader.
That means support with the things that matter — but rarely get taught:
- Getting off the tools
Letting go of the day-to-day delivery to lead others and grow the practice. - Creating a clear, confident practice strategy
Helping leaders move from reactive to strategic — with direction, priorities, and commercial focus. - Client development and relationship-building
Building the confidence and capability to win work and deepen trust. - Leading a high-performing team
Setting expectations, developing others, and building capability. - Creating a positive, productive team culture
Shaping how things get done — not just what gets done.
Whether you’re developing new leaders or supporting your senior team, I bring the strategy, coaching, and practical tools to help them succeed.

A Coach Who Knows Your World
In professional services, leadership development has to earn its place.
Your fee earners are busy. Your partners are under pressure.
And if development doesn’t feel relevant, commercial, and credible — it won’t land.
I’ve been there.
As a former management consultant and Head of Organisational Development for a commercial law firm, I understand what it takes to deliver leadership growth that actually sticks — and makes a visible impact on how leaders show up, lead others, and grow the practice.
Over the past 20+ years, I’ve supported HR teams across law, consulting, and accounting to deliver:
- Leadership development that fee earners value
- Practical content tailored to commercial realities
- High-ROI programs that drive performance, retention, and growth
Whether you’re developing future partners or aligning a senior team, I’ll work with you to deliver strategic, credible development — with maximum impact and minimal disruption.
Ready to Shift Leadership from Capable to Commercial?
If you’re looking to develop leaders who don’t just deliver work —
but lead people, grow clients, and drive strategic results — let’s talk.
I knew I had a good business case for partner, but I was struggling to communicate it. Sarah helped me work out what mattered and how to structure it, simplify it and communicate clearly. It worked! I got my promotion.
I’d been leading a team for a while but felt like I was stuck in the day-to-day, which was overwhelming and I knew I wasn’t focussed on what I needed to be. Sarah’s coaching helped me coach my team to step up, I started to delegate better, and started thinking more like a leader.
Sarah helped our partnership team clarify what they wanted to achieve and put in place ways of working together that we have continued to use. They went from just doing business as usual to being really clear on what clients problem to solve, what to say no to, and how to move forward.
Sarah makes strategy simple. We thought we had a strategy, but now I know we only had a plan without any strategy behind it. Creating a strategy was a game changer. Sarah helped us think through who our clients were and what we needed to do to expand. 6 months later it’s paying off, we have grown our clients and our team!
This has been amazing. Sarah is great at helping you see exactly what the issue is and then helps you work through it. We unpacked a lot and I’m now really clear on my business case for promotion.
Sarah facilitated our Senior Associates program to help our SA’s understand what they needed to be focussed on if they want to go down the track to partnership. It was a really valuable session, lots of questions from them and it really helped to have this facilitated externally. Sarah’s facilitation style is open, human and engaging.
