Sarah’s bio is as follows:

Ngāti Hine and Ngāti Manu.

I have been working as a coach and facilitator for sixteen years with a background in

leadership development, systems leadership, culture and change. I’m particularly interested

in helping people and organisations thrive in times of flux and adaptation, and in supporting

leaders to create lasting improvements, personally and organisationally.

I coach individuals and teams and am interested in important and challenging conversations.

I am known as a straight talker with an ability to see the core issues and enable groups and

individuals to work on these in a safe and meaningful way.

I have led teams across public, private, and not for profit sectors over the past 20 years,

from operations to People and Capability roles and make a point of taking on a contract

leadership role every few years to ensure that my understanding of leadership in action to

accurate and helpful to my clients.

A lot of the work I have done in recent years has drawn on an ongoing focus of connecting

leadership in place, and draws on key concepts of Te Aō Māori, including The Te Kore-Te Pō

– Te Wheiao – Te Ao Mārama as a frame for disruption and the phases we must work

through to lead effectively.

I have worked with leaders from very diverse backgrounds, serving a wide range of

stakeholder groups, and work with clients to make sense of their own culture within their

context and how this can be used to support them from a strengths-based perspective.
