INNER COMPASS FOR LEADERS

A quiet place to hear yourself think

Workshops for leaders who need space, clarity, and a grounded companion in their work.

These sessions are for the people who carry too much, lead too hard, or feel pulled in ten directions at once.

Each workshop gives you structured time to reset, write, and understand what is actually going on beneath the surface of your work life.

You do not need to prepare anything. You only need to show up.

Attend if you’re . . .

✦ Successful on paper but sensing something’s missing

✦ Navigating burnout, restlessness, or constant change

✦ Facing a tough decision you’ve been avoiding

✦ Living through a season of change, transition, or quiet questioning

✦ Craving energy, clarity, and relief from the noise

✦ Carrying emotional weight that no one sees

✦ Working in a culture where you feel flattened or erased

What to expect

Each session is sixty minutes- a mini retreat for your workday.

We use short writing prompts and strengths-based feedback to explore what you are wrestling with at work. Writing slows you down enough to see what is true and what is noise. You leave with clarity you can feel in your body and one next step that belongs to you.

Starting in 2026, I am charging a small fee for these sessions to help me manage attendance and commitment. If you attend, I am happy to refund the full amount- just ask. This keeps the sessions accessible and also ensures that the space is used by people who genuinely want to be there.

Upcoming Workshops

Each month, we will work through different themes. Register for as many as you like!

The December Work Pause

December asks you to wrap, close, evaluate, and plan, often without a moment to notice how you actually feel. This session gives you space to slow down and see the truth of your year.

You’ll write your way through what this year asked of you, what it took, what it gave, and what still needs your attention. You’ll leave with a clearer sense of yourself before the calendar turns over.

Clearing Space for 2026

Before you rush into goals or planning, this hour helps you look at what you want to carry into the new year and what you’re ready to set down.

We’ll pause long enough to notice the habits and expectations shaping your choices. Writing exercises will help you cut through the noise, name what matters now, and identify one grounded shift that changes how you enter 2026.

Creating Boundaries at Work

Many leaders hold emotional weight that isn’t theirs. It shows up as resentment, exhaustion, and the feeling of being stretched too thin.

This session helps you see the difference between real support and subtle over-functioning. You’ll use short reflection prompts and light coaching to spot where your boundaries slip, why you pick up what isn’t yours, and what a healthier pattern could look like in daily practice.

Middle Age; New Ambitions

Midlife brings a recalibration most people feel long before they name it. The goals that drove you for years may no longer match who you’re becoming.

In this session, you’ll write about the ambitions you buried, the ones returning, and the ones taking new shape as your priorities shift. The focus is clarity without pressure and possibility without performance.

The Evolving Leader

You’ve changed, but your leadership habits may still belong to an older version of you. This session helps you examine that gap with honesty.

Through a mix of writing, coaching, and quiet reflection, you’ll explore the identity you’ve outgrown, the one emerging, and the shifts you’ve been avoiding. The goal is leadership that feels aligned, steady, and lived from the inside out.

Managing Work Conflict

Conflict shapes every team and every individual leader, whether it’s avoided or overused.

This session helps you understand your own patterns and the cost of staying silent or reactive. You’ll work through a series of short writing exercises that reveal the conversations you postpone, the dynamics that trigger you, and the approaches that help you stay steady when conflict shows up.

The March Work Pause

Q1 moves quickly. Goals tighten, expectations rise, and the year starts to shape itself.

This session gives you a quiet place to reflect before you slide into Q2 on momentum alone. You’ll use focused writing time to look at what’s formed so far, what’s stretched you, and which patterns you don’t want to repeat. You’ll leave with one insight that helps the next quarter feel more intentional.

I write a free Substack newsletter called the Work Doula where I share strategies, templates, and experience in leadership, marketing, and GTM.

About Sarah

I'm a Work Doula for go-to-market leaders. With 25 years of experience in business growth, GTM strategy, and organizational development, I blend sharp operational insight with the calm, grounded presence of a seasoned executive coach.

I partner with founders, leaders, and executives who are navigating change, chasing growth, or simply trying to lead with more clarity and heart.

As an executive coach, I help high-performing leaders slow down, reflect, and reconnect with what really matters—because even the most capable people need space to think, feel, and decide.

My coaching style is heart-centered but deeply practical, drawing on my lived experience across startups, scale-ups, and enterprise organizations. Whether you're leading through uncertainty, stepping into a new role, or redefining what success means to you, I create the kind of supportive, unflinching space where transformation actually happens.

I am certified in the GTM Operating System. I've worked with everyone from federal agencies and Fortune 500s to bootstrapped startups and billion-dollar scale-ups. My GTM advisory work is tailored, actionable, and always human-first—because strategy is only as good as the people carrying it out.

Over the years, I've had the chance to collaborate with leaders like Madeleine Albright, Adam Grant, Claes Fornell, and Sangram Vajre—and I've learned just as much from the scrappy founders who’ve built something from nothing.

I bring curiosity, compassion, and candor to every engagement—and I believe deeply that when leaders are well-supported, they don’t just perform better. They create better companies, too.
