Hi, I’m Sara, your career coach. Logo for Sara Smalley Coaching and Consulting

Clients I work with are questioning their next move.

We work together to find how they can best combine their talent, experience and ambition, what “gets them going”, and what their priorities are.

Career coaching gives them the clarity they’re looking for to enable them to put a plan into action that aligns who they are with what they do.

“Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” Confuscius

Career coaching is...

Contemplating “what next?” for your career.

Considering how you can develop your current skills.

Helping you find motivation, direction, satisfaction, purpose and fulfilment in your career.

Supporting you, your team or organisation to work more effectively and productively.

Testimonials

Sara was fantastic to work with

she is warm, friendly, fun and really helps to challenge your thinking. She is insightful and great at supporting you to achieve your goals, helping you to remove barriers and unlock what might be holding you back. I'd definitely recommend Sara if you're looking to get some clarity and focus with a smile and some laughs along the way.

Natalie, Learning & Development Manager

She used a variety of tools

My experience of being coached by Sara has been wholly positive: she is professional, engaging and has immeasurably helped me move forward with the objectives/areas I identified at the start of the process over the course of our 6 sessions. She used a variety of tools and techniques to help develop my thinking on a few things that were holding me back, and she went above and beyond to share podcast recommendations with me outside of our sessions. I will take the ideas and tools I learnt confidently forward into the rest of my career!

Suzie, Civil Service

Sara understands

Every person has a unique background and set of ambitions. Sara understands this and draws upon a wealth of knowledge and experience to effectively solve each complex problem in a manner which works best for the client. Exceptionally personable, refreshingly honest and uniquely talented – Sara will help you achieve your goals. I will definitely be returning to coaching with Sara.

Oli, early career executive

I would wholeheartedly recommend Sara

Working with Sara won’t magically gift you the answers and solutions that you want and need – there is work involved from both sides. She will skilfully steer you towards these answers yourself, making them that much more valuable. I would wholeheartedly recommend Sara’s coaching services to any of my friends or colleagues, particularly those from an ex-military background like myself

Andy, Service Leaver

A really positive experience

that has led to tangible results.  I feel better prepared to evaluate my career options and to take the next step forward. Thank you, Sara!

Emma, Captain (British Army)

I am so grateful

Whilst I have finished my initial set of coaching sessions with Sara, I already know that I will return for more in the next phase of my career, knowing now that this coaching is an investment in myself. I cannot recommend Sara enough. Even if you have already tried coaching and concluded it was not for you, I would urge you to try again with Sara; she has a real talent for bringing out the best in her clients and I am so grateful for the work she has done.

Emily, Service Leaver

I would implore you reach out

Sara's coaching helped me unravel my thought processes and delve into my values, beliefs and needs from a career; not what the Military tell me my values are - but mine! I wonder how many of us actually stop and think about what we as individuals value, rather than what we have been told to? Sara worked with me to help guide me into a place of confidence and understanding of what it is I aspire for in a career. If anyone one of my networks or wider audience reads this and desires the same, I would implore you reach out to Sara to start a conversation.

Sara, Service Leaver.
