I help leaders and teams turn strategy into action by creating the conditions for people to grow through culture, capability and connection. Clients describe working with me as energising, thoughtful and grounded, with a focus on clarity, curiosity and making meaningful change sustainable.
When organisations hit roadblocks in change or execution, it's often not because the strategy is wrong. It's because behaviours, systems and leadership practices are not aligned with that strategy.
I help organisations close that gap.
With 18 years of experience across technology, learning and organisational development, I work with People and Culture leaders, L&D managers and transformation leads to build the leadership, team dynamics and culture needed for people to thrive and strategy to succeed.
My approach is people-positive and complexity-conscious. I combine human-centred design, adult learning, organisational agility and positive psychology to design programs and experiences that shift mindsets, embed new behaviours and make change sustainable.
I have partnered with medium sized organisations experiencing growth, transformation or strategic shifts, co-creating solutions that strengthen capability, clarify direction and connect people to purpose.
What I bring
If you are building a more adaptable, values-aligned and performance-ready organisation, I would love to connect.
“Working with Sarah changed how we worked together at APNIC. She helped us pause, reflect, and make sense of what was holding us back. Together, we co-designed ways of working that built more collaborative, cohesive teams.
Sarah doesn’t bring a one-size-fits-all solution. She listens closely, asks thoughtful and sometimes challenging questions, and works with you to shape meaningful change that fits your culture. Her background in innovation and business agility gave her deep insight into the dynamics at play. She also created the psychological safety we needed to overcome resistance and build lasting capability.”

We all want our teams to be performing at their best and delivering value quickly and effectively. But even high performing teams can wane when the conditions aren’t right.
