Coaching

"The Find Work You Love weekly coaching programme moved me from a point of virtual unknown to a point of choice, hope and confidence in my ability to achieve my dream job.

It's also a brilliant way to make contact with like-minded individuals and stay in touch if you so wish.

I would highly recommend working with Sarah to help you find your path, she was encouraging, understanding and inspirational and has all the qualities of a great coach."

Nicki, Scotland

"Sarah's approach is encouraging, uses many excellent tools and she gives a very personal service.

She has enabled me to significantly move forward with my ideas, providing moral support for my change in direction.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Sarah to anyone who feels that they are a square peg in a round hole."

Kate, Paris

"After my very first session with Sarah, I experienced a huge shift – forward. Firstly, Sarah helped me to identify that my biggest ‘block’ was good old fashioned fear. I realised that my idea was perfect but my attitude was sabotaging me.

After 3 sessions I now have a very clear vision of where I am going with my business. I know who my audience is and realise I have a very powerful service to offer.

Having stood at the end of the diving board for so long, it is Sarah who has helped me find the courage to leap off and dive into a fabulous future!"

"My new job as a copy editor is great. I really enjoy it; the time just flies and I'm learning things all the time.

İ certainly learnt from you not to give up even when things are not going well - and the other valuable lesson was to trust that things will happen when the time is right, because they do."

Ann, Turkey

"I found the coaching sessions from Cows From My Window very rewarding.

Perhaps Sarah's most extraordinary talent is being able to unlock the ideas you never knew you had.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sarah’s coaching to anyone looking to make a change in their lives."

Matt, UK

"I had an idea of what I wanted to do with my future career, but I had many, many roadblocks stopping me.

Sarah did an excellent job of helping me break down those barriers.

I have decided to become a genealogist and now have a business plan, business name, logo and a basic marketing plan. I have enrolled in courses, and am ready to start accepting clients."

Bethany, United States

"Having taken voluntary redundancy in the UK, I was unsure of what I wanted to do next. Sarah helped me to clarify and identify what my real passions are, where my strengths lie, and most importantly gave me the confidence to actually take positive action.

I am now working in sustainability, have enrolled on an MSc to broaden my knowledge and feel excited about the future. Sarah is professional while retaining a sense of reality and fun. I wholeheartedly recommend her services."

Sam, UK

"While I always enjoyed the security of working for a corporate, as well as the interaction with people, there was always a sense that my little voice didn't really matter and that, ultimately, my main role was to work towards the success of the company.

I've made some wonderful life changes since I started working with Sarah - it's great to work with someone who supports you in creating a more authentic life. Through some of the lifestyle changes we worked on, I now have an amazing work-life balance where I have more freedom to explore other activities that make me feel happy and fulfilled."

Annette, Beijing

"By spending time compartmentalizing my skills, my likes, etc I was able to pinpoint my sources of frustration and work toward eliminating them.

We all laugh and think that a person should know themselves. But often we are too busy or too focused and can’t separate the forest from the trees.

It was great to have Sarah help on a regular basis reviewing my progress but also challenging me on where I had not moved forward."

Edward, Beijing

"Sarah presented very useful tools that helped me to question my thoughts, look at my needs and values, and get rid of a lot of dead lock.

We all have the unique answers to our lives nestled inside ourselves... it takes spending time working with our thoughts and visions to reach our goals. Sarah helped me walk through the fog and onto my path.

The tools Sarah gave me are valuable in my continuous work with staying on track. Thank you Sarah."

Else, Beijing

"Working with Sarah has been such a privilege. Like most people, I have a head full of big intimidating dreams.

Sarah helped me develop a clear vision of what I wish for, as well as a specific, realistic and time bound transition plan towards my dreamed life.

I particularly enjoyed the discipline that the coaching sessions with Sarah gave me. I was looking for results and that's exactly what I got. Coaching is definitely one of the best gifts I've offered to myself."

Iyanla, Qatar

"Sarah’s inspirational coaching has helped me unblock deep-seated fears and beliefs. She has helped me to reverse my rather impractical mindset that I would only be able to make my desired work/life changes once external circumstances changed.

Apparently Eleanor Roosevelt once said: "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams". I cannot recommend Sarah highly enough to anyone looking to move in the direction of their dreams!"

Helen, UK

"I’ve been searching for a professional coach for some time because I always felt I needed that extra push to get me unstuck.

The wonderful thing about coaching is that it brings out things that are already inside you so everything is in fact coming from you.

You just need somebody who can help draw it out from you. And that’s where the expertise of Sarah comes in. She helps you through a process of helping yourself."

Joei, Tianjin, China

Workshops

"The workshops were immensely helpful in guiding me through all the chaos in my mind. They helped me to clarify the core values, passions, strengths and skills that my next career needs to incorporate.

I highly recommend Sarah's workshops to anyone who wants to find work they love. It is time and money well spent."

Jane, Beijing

Speaking

"I've never thought of myself as someone who needed to be coached about my career but Sarah Cooper's talk thoroughly changed my mind. It was relevant, interesting and, ultimately, very thought provoking. The entire group was engaged from beginning to end."

Julian Fisher, President: Rotaract Beijing

Getting Unstuck e-books

"I enjoyed Getting Unstuck because it is a quick, fun read, with practical to do's that got me to focus on what was causing the mud in my head and think about how to start clearing it away.

I would recommend it to any-one who is feeling unclear about what they want to do, or unclear in how to move forward in what they are doing."

Marcelle, Chile

E-newsletter

"Sarah's email newsletter is a great pick me up. It takes just a few minutes to read but the content is always valuable.

Her common-sense approach and enthusiasm motivate me to take a fresh look at my objectives for the coming week. It's like having a coach and a cheering section in your inbox."

Craig, Beijing

Assessments

"Doing the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator has been truly enlightening - I now understand and accept myself and others better... I know how to apply my personality type to best benefit the various teams I participate in.

I wish I had learnt all of this earlier in life!"

Hayley, Beijing
