Book a Call to Explore Leadership and Business Coaching
For corporate professionals, managers, leaders and coaches
If you're thinking about working with me in private coaching and mentoring as your growth partner and trusted advisor, this is where we begin.
Most of my clients arrive having already tried the self-directed route.
Books, courses, a workshop series, a few late-night questions to an AI assistant.
All of it useful. None of it built around one specific person in one specific organisation.
So many ambitious professionals stay in this "research and learning" phase for years without significant progress.
If you are here, then you already know:
There is no time to test the other ten approaches and see which one works for your unique life situation.
Private 1:1 Coaching gives you something self-study cannot: It is customised to your unique context. Your organisation, your constraints, your talents that have not been used yet.
You get a confidential thinking space to say what you cannot say at work or to your friends, colleagues, mentors, and accountability that goes beyond kind reminders.
You learn to work with what you have: define your own leadership style, your vision, and a strategy that fits your version of success.
If you're still exploring, my free resources or the trainings are a good place to start.
If you are done researching, let's talk.
Who is this perfect for?
I work with managers, leaders and corporate professionals who are working on a goal in one or more of the areas below. Most come from pharma, supply chain or STEM.
They arrive at a crossroad, with a career or leadership challenge that matters and will not resolve on its own.
Some have one clear goal. Others recognise themselves in three or four of the paths below.
Not sure which one is the best choice for you? Book a call and let's explore that.

"Transformational Coaching at Its Best.
Sara is the Real Deal!
Making the leap from a 9-5 to full-time entrepreneurship is no small feat, but with Sara as my business coach, I felt truly supported every step of the way. She has been my rock through multiple business pivots, helping me navigate changes in direction with patience, insight, and unwavering support.
Felicia Myers
UX Designer, EQ Coach, Author - USA
"What Sara helped me build was a way of working that actually held up under pressure. A system I could use week to week.
She also helped me figure out which problems were mine to solve and which ones I was taking on unnecessarily.
I am now leading across all these teams and moving into the VP role. The workload has not changed. But how I handle the situation has."
Laura B.
Head of Supply Chain Management,
Luxury Cosmetics Industry, Switzerland
"Sara is so much more than a business coach, she's a strategist, mentor, and a true thought partner who helps you cut through the noise and focus on what truly sets you apart.
Speaking from personal experience, with a strong scientific background and years of leadership in R&D and pharmaceutical technical operations, I know that success isn’t just about having the right skills.
You don’t just stumble into it. It takes vision, strategy, hard work, and the right support. Thanks to Sara’s sharp, no-nonsense guidance, I’ve been able to bring a long-held vision to life: building a high-impact coaching program that empowers ambitious STEM professionals to step into leadership and create careers that truly fulfill them.
And I’ve done this while continuing my leadership journey in pharma, where I remain committed to driving scientific progress that makes a real difference in people’s lives.
Dr Alejandra Nieto
Director, CMC technical development at Roche- Switzerland

Frequently asked questions about 1:1 Coaching
Leadership change is behaviour change, and behaviour change takes time.
Habit research puts the median at 66 days for simple daily behaviours (Lally et al., 2010). Leading differently is harder than that: it depends on how your team and stakeholders respond to the change.
I have run programmes from a single hour to a full year. Three months is where I see the strongest results. My 1:1 coaching starts at a three month commitment, from CHF 3,500.
I occasionally run one month engagements and one day in person intensives depending on capacity, and those go to my email list first.
Large programmes, books and trainings are excellent for learning and networking.
They give you knowledge and frameworks.
What they cannot give you is the integration and action, because your organisation, your team, culture, life experiences and your constraints are unique to you.
You also cannot say everything in a room full of colleagues or peers, and privacy matters when the honest version of the problem involves your boss or your team.
This is why we have so many MBA graduates who never get the leadership roles they deserve! (You don't hear about it, but I have coached many!)
1:1 coaching is the space where you think without an audience and without judgement. Behavioural change for leadership needs you to understand yourself more deeply, without the noise and without borrowing someone else's approach.
Growth has different stages: sometimes you do need more information, this is why I lead my own workshops or create educational content, but once you build enough foundation you need to integrate and act. This is where most high performers struggle and stay in learning and research mode forever!
My clients know they don't need more information. They want to integrate what they already know, consciously and unconsciously, and to build a leadership style that is their own.
We work on two areas in 1:1 coaching: how you lead yourself, and how you lead others.
In the sessions you look at your patterns, your reactions and the decisions you keep postponing.
Outside the sessions you act on what you learned about yourself. You change how you communicate, lead the conversations you have been avoiding with your team, peers and senior leaders, and exchange feedback.
We then reflect on those actions and on the responses you got.
Leadership is not a solo activity. Your progress depends on how other professionals respond to you, which is why the work always moves into your actual relationships and does not stay inside the session.
