How we work
A personalised process for your business needs.
Keeping the process simple is key. Every engagement follows three steps, and pricing is shaped to the work: download the brochure or book a call and we will scope it with you.
Initial contact & understanding your needs
We agree the project's objectives, scope and your expectations, then gather and analyse data to understand root causes: collaborative, involving interviews and analysis.
Solution formulation & implementation
We design and deliver the agreed solution, or support your teams to deliver it, with the evaluation method built into the delivery stage.
Evaluation and transition
Together we review effectiveness, then focus on sustainability: handing over full responsibility to you, with a final report or follow-up checks.
Clients include
In their words
Hear from some of our incredible clients.
“I have been a part of Sarah's advanced coaching certification. After two other certifications I can say that Sarah's went into ten times more detail and used evidence-based tools and explanations. It also helped me personally, as we practised in the sessions and could bring in real-life problems and get coached. I am already a far better coach than I was before this certification, and my clients feel the same. Sarah's energy is amazing, and the course feels safe and welcoming. I would totally recommend Sarah and this certification to everyone who wants to become an amazing coach.”
“I completed the AC Advanced Coaching with NLP diploma with Sarah to refresh my coaching skills and learn more about NLP techniques. Sarah created a very safe and inclusive space to learn and practise with a wonderful group of women. What I particularly enjoyed was the way she applied the evidence base behind everything she taught and aligned it to her applied experience as a coach. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a thorough and recognised certification which includes executive level, via a more contemporary and engaging delivery approach.”
“I have just completed the January cohort of the AC Advanced Coaching with NLP diploma taught by Sarah. I can highly recommend the course. The information was well presented and organised, and Sarah's teaching was high quality, well researched and resourced. She provided a safe environment to practise, make mistakes, learn, discuss and explore coaching models and NLP. The sessions were uplifting, empowering and informative. I have learnt so much and met wonderful professional women who will now be lifelong friends and colleagues. Thanks Sarah.”
“The effects of the NLP coaching far exceeded my expectations, mainly because I was completely unaware of the issues that were really holding me back. The coaching allowed me to make sense of my issues and then helped me find an effective way of moving forward.”
“I can't express enough admiration for her engaging and approachable teaching style; her courses are both enlightening and transformative. I've experienced significant personal and professional growth, feeling more confident and equipped with practical tools to navigate life more effectively.”
“I loved how she constantly ensured it was engaging and specific, even to a wide audience. It reminded me that there is a community of people passionate about occupational psychology in the workplace, not just muddling through with non-evidence-based practices.”
“Sarah is fabulous and personable. She is so kind and her knowledge is incredible. I love all things psychology. Thank you so much for the opportunity, it will give me additional tools to support my coaching business.”
“All of it was amazing! Engaging and personal, as I was very involved. Thought-provoking and I'm so glad I attended. It gives me the confidence to continue with my goal and journey and never give up.”
“That was very interesting. It makes NLP really interesting and I believe I will go deeper in this. As a transformational coach, NLP will be a powerful tool.”
“Brilliant, thank you so much. Very inspirational. It will help me understand myself more so that I can help my coaching clients understand themselves.”
“Sarah is a great communicator and she delivered in great detail all new ideas and frameworks. She was prepared and knowledgeable.”
“I have always wanted to train as a coach, but all the other training looked boring. As soon as I knew Sarah was creating a course, I knew I had to sign up!”
“Thanks for a fantastic session, Sarah Makinde!”
“It was a really great session. Thank you so much, Sarah!”
“Thank you so much, such an interesting workshop!”
“Great workshop, thanks Sarah.”
“Superb morning! Thanks Sarah.”
