Hello! I’m Sally.

I partner with professionals and entrepreneurs to advance and design their lives and careers in a balanced, energy-filled and intentional way, a way that delivers more of what really matters to them. At home. At work. In the middle of navigating big changes and when pursuing meaningful goals.

As a life, leadership and career coach who is passionate about creating sustainable success across all areas of our lives, I take a blended “whole person” approach that’s grounded in my Sustainable Success Model,™ a unique blend of evidence-based practices, proven life/career/leadership coaching modalities and years of personal and professional experience.

In my 12+ years of coaching, I’ve collaborated with a wide range of leaders, professionals and entrepreneurs across corporate, nonprofit, startups and government, to navigate transformational changes, build courageous plans for what’s next, find more fulfillment at work, get clear on their next career or business moves, achieve effective work-life balance, improve wellbeing, and generally say YES to what they really want.

People come to me when they want to reach their next level of personal and professional leadership (it’s all connected). To achieve real balance and fulfillment. To get clear on what’s next, gain clarity and confidence for the journey, and figure out a plan to get there. And to do that in a way that is better aligned with their strengths, values and priorities.

Together, we take a whole-person, strengths-based coaching approach that challenges assumptions and beliefs, opens up new possibilities, and is designed to stretch your thinking, expand your vision and ground you with dedicated support and consistent action towards what you want to create for yourself.

My clients are often surprised at how much we accomplish together and the far-reaching effects of our coaching. If you’re ready to find out what else is possible for you, I would be delighted to help you get there.

You don’t have to figure it out on your own. Book a free exploratory call to get started.

COACHING PASSIONS:

Designing lifestyles and workstyles that center fulfillment, meaning and balance. Replacing burnout with sustainable success at all levels of your career. Life, midlife and career reinvention. Personal leadership as fuel for professional leadership. Meaningful goals. Work-life balance and self-care strategies for the real world. Finding authenticity, flow and purpose at work. Whole-person coaching. Supporting milestone life and career transitions. Mentor coaching with a focus on presence, skill and ethics.

What I Believe

I believe that sustainable success is available to everyone. That reinvention is an accessible small r word and it means, essentially, reflecting on and creating what you want next instead of waiting for it to arrive. Personally, I aim to live with joy, positivity and meaning; to be mindful, purposeful, values-centered and in integrity. When we can do that, we can inspire and empower others to do it, too. And that simplifies life and expands possibilities, even in our fast-paced, ever-changing and increasingly complex world.

I’m all about redefining success on your terms, creating real life balance, wellness and building a career, a life and a level of personal leadership that leaves you happy, fulfilled and well-balanced — whatever that means to you.

It starts with knowing yourself. Taking care of yourself. Understanding what you want, why you want it and what truly matters to you. Stretching yourself. Developing your strengths. And taking a committed stand for all of it.

I take a whole-person coaching approach in my work because we do not live “personal lives” and “professional lives”. There’s no real boundary between “career” and “life.” We live one life, one that requires us to show up in many areas.

Being able to integrate all of the pieces effectively and authentically is practice, art and science. That is what it means to create sustainable success.

Getting there may challenge you and grow you (I hope it does!) — and I know your results will be worth much more than you invest in creating them.

I got so much value, which led to new awareness, insight, and change. Sally Anne helped me gain clarity on big life decisions I was facing, and I felt more at ease to move forward. Her coaching style is calm and direct, and she is good at narrowing down the big challenges to something tangible and measurable.

"Life changing!"

Coaching has been life changing. At first, I thought, "Six months is a long time!" Now, I can’t believe it’s been six months. I never felt like there was anything that I couldn't share with you. I have always known that you want me to be successful. With everything that we have put into place, I have a large toolbox to handle everything that is coming my way. I appreciate you so much.

"Connected authenticity and confidence"

I needed help with professional intersections and choices, moving from traumatic workplace structures into exploring where I could bring my gifts and passions in places and in ways that welcomed me—and how to step into doing this. I’m in a place now of believing in the possibilities I have inside that I can share from a place of connected authenticity and confidence. Thank you for this life-changing experience!
