Tell me more.

Hi, my name is Sara. I’m glad you’re here.

I work with leaders to step more fully into conscious leadership. I work with the willing - those who are willing to turn within to find out what’s true, what matters and what’s in the way.

  • I started working with Sara when my company faced a tough few months and I wanted to make sure I was well supported by an executive coach while making some tough decisions.  2 years later I can say that not only was her coaching invaluable during that period, it has also been a key sounding board in nearly every major decision since. Her coaching has helped me be a better, more clear, and more self-aware leader for my team. This translates to better day to day decision making. 

    Sara's coaching has also helped me personally become a more resilient, mindful, and grateful person. Startup founding life is hard and can be  isolating -  Sara’s coaching has become a critical component of both my growth as a founder and a human. I highly recommend her.

  • I remember my first meeting with Sara to explore if we were a match.  Five minutes in and I knew I had found my coach and long term teacher. Sara is a tree - rooted and sturdy with flexible branches. She teaches me to be a tree by embracing my feelings and encouraging my true nature to shine through. She brought me back to life in more ways than I can count and her guidance has lifted me from getting in my own way. She’s a gift to the world and I am so grateful to learn from and with her.

  • When I began my time with Sara I did not fully comprehend the depth and impact my work with her would have on every part of my life. This work strengthens me, empowers me, and connects me with parts of myself that are new to me - and all of this changes how I view the world, lead my life and interact with everyone in it. Sara helps me walk this path to consciousness and is an ever present rock of support.

  • Working with Sara has forever altered how I see myself as a leader—and as a person. Her holistic coaching style encompasses my professional skills, values, strengths, and challenges, enabling me to lead more authentically and effectively.

    The benefits of Sara’s coaching are my increased productivity and my team’s elevated performance. By unlocking both individual and collective potential, we successfully commercialized an MVP version of our software, exceeding all financial targets and driving significant market gains with our new product line.

    An executive coach is helpful; getting to work with Sara Gates is a transformative experience that empowers you to make an impact.

  • An untenable work life as an overwhelmed CEO led me to Sara in 2021. She asked me for one thing: willingness. In return she gave me a thousand profound learnings over the 3+ years we’ve been working together. 

    I am now committed to the truly powerful work of training my mind, healing my wounds and learning to love. 

    I am deeply grateful to Sara for creating this roadmap to a life well-lived that has brought immense joy, gratitude and a refocusing on what truly matters.

  • Working with Sara is like having the good angel on my shoulder at all times, whispering "I see you, I get it, what do you want to do with this today?" Her simple (and truly comprehensive) tools help keep me above the fray by reminding me that I am at choice in how I experience the world. When I step off the roller coaster of believing my every thought and emotion, I have space to be with the hard stuff and to truly be present to the joy that's been here all along, waiting for me to notice. I am forever grateful for our work.

  • Working with Sara has profoundly changed my life for the better. Her coaching has grounded me; she has served as a trusted guide for the trickiest of situations, and she has helped me to lead with confidence and authenticity in all aspects of my life. I couldn’t recommend her more for leaders looking to uncover the things driving behavior and impacting how we lead.
