About Sabrina Wang

Hi! I’m Sabrina.

I was born and raised in Chengdu, China. I moved to LA at 16 years old to attend USC with a scholarship. My mom ran a business called "Sabrina's Country Store" selling American groceries to expats in China. I've been involved in our business since elementary school - from mopping doors to training employees - which taught me invaluable lessons about entrepreneurship and people, two pillars of my current coaching career.

Now, I run Evergrowth Coaching where I specialize in coaching CEOs of 8-9 figure revenue. My clients include CEOs and founders from top tech companies like Wayflyer, Synchron, Opswerks, Code States, Ownwell, Tribe, and RevenueCat. I also worked with investors from YC Continuity, General Catalyst, Left Lane Capital, and Innovation Endeavors.

Before Evergrowth, I was the Head of Coaching at Mochary Method, created by CEO coach Matt Mochary who coached Sam Altman, Naval, and other leading CEOs. I have a strong background in GTM, product, and design, having worked at Headspace for Work on B2B SaaS products that reached over a million users.

Today, I work with solopreneurs to unicorn founders - whoever is inspired by a big mission to make the world a better place with their gifts. We work together to cut through blocks and procrastination, so they can learn to lead and create from an effortlessly authentic place.

Many of us talk about wanting to be happy. But we're actually looking for joy.

A leader's job is not to come up with the best ideas, but to create an environment where people come up with the best ideas. And there’s no better way to achieve that than creating joy for your people. Unfortunately, this is the one thing most leaders overlook when trying to build productive teams.

In this video, Sabrina talks about joy and how leaders can use it to motivate and energize their people. She also shares why happiness is a critical factor in employee engagement and the telltale signs your people are unhappy.
