What People Are Saying
Individual Coaching
“Sara! You genuinely shifted my energy. I started the call literally hunched over, arms crossed, reluctant to admit my feelings. I ended the call laughing and gesturing wildly with my arms as I talked — that is the real me for sure! :-D You were masterfully tuned in during our call and leaned heavily on your intuition to get me unstuck. You did such a beautiful job synthesizing the various info I gave you to create a picture of success. This is not the first time you have done so. In our last session I remember commenting that you stitched together my random thoughts to give me a sense of the real issue at hand. You have a gift for holding all aspects of the conversations at once and seeing into the conversation from all angles. Pretty cool stuff, Sara!”

Energy Leadership Development Team Building
“Thank you for presenting the 7 Levels of Energy at our team meeting. Your presentation was unlike anything I’ve ever had in sales trainings, meetings, seminars, etc. I got a lot out of the limited time we spent on this, so I can imagine I’d get even more out of exploring this concept at a deeper, more thorough level.
Simply being more aware and mindful of the different energy levels has helped me immensely in my professional and personal life. Your discussion around the thoughts, feelings and actions associated with the energy levels has lingered with me and those are things I’m often thinking about when I reflect on my day. I am working on thinking about my energy level in the moment, and not just at the end of the day. I am thinking about where I’m at, what makes me fluctuate, how to improve, and am trying to be more aware. I’d like to talk to you more about strategies for working on and recognizing those things. In the meantime, I’ve made it a goal to be intentional about my energy until it becomes natural.
I’m often times considering the energy I’m giving off because I interact with so many different people every day. Sales can feel very outcome driven, so it’s important to be mindful about my energy level instead of focusing on the ups and downs. Professionally and personally, I’m thinking about the way my actions and words impact other people, knowing that it’ll ultimately impact how successful and happy I am. Additionally, I think your presentation and the concepts discussed are valuable for improving our company culture. I can see how it’d be beneficial to many company’s cultures, as well as individual’s personal lives, as the importance of emotional intelligence is apparent.”
- Samantha Griffin, Regional Sales Manager, Genomind
“One thing I took away from your presentation, and have seen since our meeting, is the benefit of having a common language. When we all can refer to a specific level of energy that we’re operating at, and are using the same verbiage, it helps communicate to others; and in turn, others’ interactions, support, advice, etc. can adjust accordingly because we all know what “Level 2” means.
Personally, I enjoyed the presentation because I agree with the pillars and concepts you laid out, and it was nice to see them organized in a system. I don’t think there can ever be too much energy that is rooted in positivity, optimism, support and encouragement! I think your presentation was well-received, and you did a good job of keeping your presentation on track, despite the occasional comments and derailments from your audience!”
