My Coaching Experience

Since 1996, I have supported professional and personal growth of others as a coach, consultant, counselor and mentor. Working in various fields and companies with individuals of all ages, I believe in gaining understanding, developing strategies for growth and change as well as maintaining sustainable balance is essential to thrive in an ever-changing, sometimes chaotic environment. My passion for helping people achieve their peak performance and mentally strength was shaped at a young age. Despite challenges and obstacles, I created goals to become an elite athlete against multiple odds. Coaching, skill building, psychology, resilience and determination supported me in achieving international ranking and a 16 year elite swimming career.

As an adult, my experience, education, and training in human development, organizational psychology, motivation and behavior change informs my practice. Obtaining degrees from University of Virginia and Columbia University and training in evidence-based approaches has been pivotal. For nearly 30 years, I have supported clients to realize their potential and achieve greater leadership, success and impact.

My work with clients has achieved results in various fields including medical and academic institutions, finance, businesses, mental health organizations, and law firms. I continue to expand my education, training and life long learning which informs my coaching practice. Sawyer Coaching dedicates time to create a roadmap for clients and support them propelling them towards their desired outcomes.

Coaching has many starting points for people and organizations

  • Coaching enables sustainable growth and change focusing primarily on present circumstances and future goals rather than healing past issues. We work on developing specific skills, strategies, and actionable plans to achieve defined outcomes for individuals and organizations.

  • Coaching is a collaborative, client-centered process that empowers individuals or teams to unlock their potential, clarify goals and take meaningful action. It emphasizes reflection, insight and self-directed growth to support lasting change from the inside out. In contrast, organizational consulting typically involves external experts diagnosing issues then offering solutions and guiding implementation. While both aim to improve performance and effectiveness, coaching builds internal capabilities and long-term ownership of change—helping people and organization evolve. Consulting tends to address immediate challenges and delivers recommendations for organizations to follow.

  • Yes, I provide secure video sessions for clients who prefer remote coaching or who cannot attend in-person appointments.

  • Coaching is ideal if you're looking to enhance performance, develop new skills, or achieve specific goals. If you're motivated to take action and ready for growth, coaching can be tremendously beneficial. We can have a conversation to determine if my approach aligns with your needs before any contractual agreement.

  • Coaching engagements vary based on your goals. Some clients work with me for 3-6 months to address specific objectives, while others maintain a longer relationship for ongoing development and accountability. We'll discuss the right timeframe for your unique situation.
