With You In Mind.
"If you want something to change, you will have to do something you haven't done before."
IS THIS YOU?
This is for you if you're a women running your own small business or charity and balancing that with "life". Or rather trying to find balance but feeling that you aren't quite there!
This is for you if you find yourself procrastinating a lot, and have plans that you want to achieve and you try to achieve but never seem to quite manage to achieve.
This is for you if you have lots of ideas but don't know what to do first, or if you know what you want to do but can't seem to do it.
This is for you if you think all the other women have more self confidence and belief than you.
If you relate to any or all of the above then this page of opportunities has been created with you in mind, to support you in achieving the business success that's right for you.
IDEAL COACHING
In an ideal world we would all have a coach! Someone who provides a safe and confidential space where we feel able to talk about our insecurities and worries. Someone who listens without judgement and makes us feel normal! Someone who helps us get clarity from confusion and the focus we need to stop procrastinating and start doing! Someone who sees our superpower and helps us build the self belief we need to achieve.
In an ideal world we would see our coach every 2-6 weeks for a period of months to embark on a journey that gets us to the destination of our dreams. In between sessions they would invest time thinking about how best to support us, and be there to celebrate our successes and provide support and accountability by email and messaging.
So most professional coaches only work with clients who can invest in a package of 6 - 12 sessions.
COACHING WITH YOU IN MIND
In the real world many of us don't have the time or money to invest in a coaching package. We balance cost with benefit and if we're running a small business and managing a family and maybe some health challenges too, then the numbers don't add up. This bothered me because I know that I can help people achieve more in their business; feel better about themselves, and have more time and energy to enjoy the rest of their life. So I worked on creating some solutions.
I trained in group coaching to be able to offer personal coaching in a small group setting and I refined my coaching style to deliver focussed results from a single session.
The Cost:
-
for the programme of six group sessions and access to a WhatsApp support group is £299*.
-
for adding a 90min 1:1 coaching session is £120 (when purchased with the programme).
* When full payment is received in advance. You may also pay in two installments of £150, or three installments of £100.
"Change is hard because our brain sees it as a threat. The trick is to learn how to calm the brain.
It's easier than it sounds when you know how!"
my story
I'm Sarah, a wife, a mum, a daughter and friend. I love to run, read and cook. I'm also an ICF certified individual and group coach and owner of Leaders In Flow Ltd, my coaching business.
If you're here then I'm guessing that you, like me, wear many hats and perhaps sometimes find it a struggle to juggle. Maybe you just feel or wish that the balance could be different and better? Perhaps you know you've settled for less than you're capable of? Maybe you know exactly what you want to achieve but not the how?
If so then you're in the right place, because I can help you and I want to help you! So much so that I got a diploma in group coaching to be able to help and support you in an accessible format, and here is why it's so important to me:
I completed my first coaching training whilst working at AstraZeneca in 2012. But later that year we moved to Sweden and I left my job. It was exciting, challenging and fun, but my main focus was the family so although I decided to become a professional coach, my business took a back seat whilst we were there. We moved back to England in 2017 and this was to be "my turn".
But life through us a curve ball and almost immediately I found myself back in the role of carer for another two years. Once again my business took a back seat.
By the time I was finally able to really focus on my business I'd lost my professional identity and confidence and with it my motivation. It would have been so easy to just keep doing a "little bit" of coaching. Part of me wanted more but I also felt exhausted and confused. I still needed to be able to work flexibly and part-time. I wasn't sure I could be bothered!
Now I have a successful, growing coaching business that works perfectly for me around my personal commitments. What has helped me get here is having my own coach and mentor and being part of a coaching group where we support, encourage and inspire each other.
What got me started on this journey was being welcomed into an amazing women's networking group. A group full of interesting and inspiring women all trying to juggle their business with the rest of their life. They inspired me to want more for me and them. This programme is my way to give back and my way to feel I earn my place amongst you amazing women.

Questions
Q. How does coaching work in a group?
I coach one person in the group whilst everyone else listens quietly. After a while I will ask the group if they have anything to help or encourage the person. Then I move to coach someone else. It's incredibly powerful because the group get their own insights as they listen to the person speaking, and the group supports each other. It's also such a relief to hear that you're not alone in feeling the way you do.
Q. What if I don't feel comfortable sharing in the group?
You are never forced to share anything you don't want to. I always ask if you would like to be coached and you can always say no. Even if you say yes, and then change your mind, it's OK to say no. We all sign a confidentiality agreement so you can feel safe knowing that nothing you say will ever be shared outside of the group. If you have something you want to be coached on in private then you have the option of purchasing a 1:1 session at a discounted rate. One of my talents is creating a space where people do feel safe, but if you don't feel safe to share that's OK.
Q. What happens if I miss a session?
I ask everyone to make sure they can attend every session and attend the entire session. But of course life sometimes gets in the way. Sessions will be recorded (assuming everyone gives permission) in case anyone wants to listen back. Recordings will only be available for those who register and pay for the full programme.
Q. I can't meditate, does that mean this programme isn't for me?
Not at all. The mindful meditation is very short and easy to "do". It doesn't matter how you experience it, there is no right or wrong. If you don't want to take part you can sit quietly for a few minutes which you will find quite relaxing and calming. I will be talking and asking you to think about something connected to the session topic. I use phrases that relax and calm the mind and open the mind to the new learning that is to come.
Q. Why is the final session so long after the rest?
Because this will help ensure you hold onto the learning and make some changes happen. I'm sure you've been to workshops or done courses where you learn something, leave with great intentions, and then everything falls by the way side? This is where a coaching group is different. We make it specific and personal to you which tends to make it stick more, and by meeting again several weeks after, you are more likely to keep up the change for those weeks. When we want changes to last we need to do them several times and for a period of time. The WhatsApp group will be open the entire time and I will be there to support and encourage you.
Q. How do I know if this is right for me?
Well, if you've got this far and you want to change something about the way you feel and what you do and achieve with your business, it probably is. But if you're asking the question then there is something you're not sure about so please apply for a place below, there is an option to let me know you still have questions. If you want we can have a quick call to discuss your questions. No obligation and no pressure.
Q. What if I can't make all the dates?
We may be able to work something out so please apply for a place below and let me know your availability problems in the form.
Q. What if I'm interested in this programme but March doesn't work for me?
Please fill out the form and apply anyway, but add in the box for extra information when you would like to attend a programme like this. If there is enough interest I will run another later in the year.
