FREE WORKSHOPS
The Work Pause
The Work Pause is a free 60-minute workday retreat for busy leaders who want relief, clarity, and a fresh perspective. Small groups use simple writing prompts and executive coaching feedback to experience a mini-retreat from the noise of work.
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
✦ Tired of carrying big questions alone
✦ Curious about a safe, structured space to reflect
✦ Craving energy, clarity, and relief from the noise
✦ Open to personal growth, not just professional upskilling
A safe space to reflect and recharge.
Work usually demands armor. You show up polished, together, and ready to perform.
But underneath, some questions and conflicts don’t make it onto your calendar: restlessness about what’s next, the quiet weight of burnout, or a decision you’ve been avoiding.
The Work Pause is a free 90-minute workshop designed to give you space for what rarely gets attention. Through guided writing prompts and personalized coaching feedback, you’ll leave feeling heard, lighter, and more energized.
You don’t need to be a “writer.” Writing is just the tool we use to slow the swirl of thoughts, create clarity, and surface the truths you’ve been carrying.
You’ll walk away with:
Relief from carrying it all alone
A burst of clarity and perspective
A taste of the deeper work in the Inner Compass for Leaders series

I write an occasional Substack newsletter called the Startup 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.
On the strategy side, I serve as Head of Research at GTM Partners and 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.
