PROJECT OF THE WEEK
I love coaching. I love watching clients learn to believe in their ability to figure out any challenge that is thrown their way.
One of the most important lessons I have learned is that people don't simply believe they can do something because someone else says they’re great or doing a good job.
They believe in themselves because they have done the work and proven that they can do it. That they can figure it out. My most successful clients learn that they can ask for help, but also receive the respect and admiration of whomever they’ve asked.
Getting Started
While it’s true we all learn differently, I choose to coach through action. Together, we can pick a project and make a plan to complete it. Initially, we’ll work together to tackle this plan. Over time, while learning new habits, skills and structure, clients learn to believe in themselves because they have proven that they can do it. That are smart. They can work hard. They are NOT lazy. And that’s when the magic happens. Clients then see the next project as a way to take their skills and apply them to a project that a few sessions ago may have been completely daunting and unattainable. Now? Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
If you or are struggling with feeling like you are not enough, start small and be consistent. Slowly you will build the confidence and skills you need to believe.

Meet Sarah
Growing up as the oldest of nine siblings in Upstate New York, I learned to use organization to create sanity among the chaos. Today, I work together with individuals, families, and small businesses to create habits, systems, and spaces that support their needs, goals, and dreams. Clients often refer to our work together as "life-changing" and "better than decades of therapy". What I love most about my work is the lasting impact it has on real people's lives. Nothing makes me happier than hearing the many success stories of clients I have worked with.
