Sara’s Story

From Classroom to Boardroom: A Journey of Intentional Growth

Sara Matthews’ career path reflects her commitment to growth, change, and empowering others to reach their potential. Her journey began in the classroom as an educator, where she discovered her passion for helping others unlock their capabilities.

Education and Leadership Foundation As a teacher, Sara learned the art of meeting people where they are and guiding them toward where they want to be. This foundation led her into educational leadership as a coach for fellow teachers and eventually as an assistant principal, where she specialized in supporting educators through professional development and organizational change.

Embracing Corporate Transformation Seeking new challenges and growth opportunities, Sara made the bold transition into the corporate world, joining a technology company as a change strategy consultant. This role allows her to combine her expertise in leadership development with her passion for helping organizations and individuals navigate complex transitions.

The Coaching Connection Throughout her career transitions, coaching played a pivotal role in Sara’s own growth and decision-making. She experienced firsthand how the right support and guidance can help someone move from uncertainty to clarity, from hesitation to confident action.

Why Women’s Coaching? As a working mother who has successfully navigated multiple career transitions, Sara understands the unique challenges women face in balancing professional ambition with personal responsibilities. She’s passionate about creating a safe space where women can explore their goals, address their fears, and develop the courage to pursue the life they truly want.
