Armed Forces & Veterans

You’ve signed up for workshops (too many to list), worked on building your network and had so many cups of coffee.

You’ve reached the end of your resettlement and you’re still not sure what to do next? Perhaps you’re part-way through your resettlement and wondering if you’re vaguely on the right track.

And yet you’re still not sure what you want to do or what job you should be applying for.

I get it. I’ve been there.

But have you considered those big ‘life’ questions – Who am I? What’s important to me? What do I really want from life beyond the military?

The career coaching work I do with service personnel and veterans supports them to look at these broader questions. To understand what really motivates them and what they want to focus on in the next stage of their career. To consider who they will be when they take the uniform off for the last time.

In a relaxed and confidential session, clients feel supported to be honest in exploring the answers to these questions.

And with the answers to these questions, comes the ability to be clear on what you want to focus on in your job search, what your priorities are from the next step and where you aren’t prepared to compromise.

    My Approach

    My role as your coach is to provide support distinct from any other. I will focus solely on your situation with the kind of attention and commitment that you rarely experience elsewhere.

    A coaching relationship is like no other, simply because of its combination of objective detachment and commitment to the goal(s) of the individual. I will listen to you, with a genuine curiosity to understand who you are, what you think and generally how you experience the world.

    During our conversations, I will gently challenge you and encourage you to overcome obstacles and get into action. As the relationship is based on trust and openness, the contents of our discussions will be confidential.

    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.
