Helping Leaders Who Learn
Find Less Overwhelm and More Impact
Hi, I’m Sarah
For over a decade and a half, I’ve been leading at the intersections of global teams, policy, governance, and community development. I’ve worked across the not-for-profit sector and government, from representing an international NGO network at the United Nations to now serving as a Senior Policy Advisor in government.
Whether I’m navigating complex policy landscapes, chairing a non-profit board, or building trust across cultures, I’ve seen first-hand how strong relationships, clear strategies, and effective systems can drive real impact.
But I’ve also seen how wise leaders know that real impact and measurable success can’t happen without managing your own time and energy to avoid overwhelm and make a meaningful difference. That’s why I’m passionate about always honing my own systems for personal productivity, to create space for what matters most - and then sharing them with others.
I also believe that great leaders are lifelong learners. Whether it’s engaging with powerful ideas, curating actionable insights, or diving into transformative books, I’m convinced that leaders who read are leaders who grow. I love sharing what I'm learning and encouraging others to do the same.
This blog is about helping leaders who learn find less overwhelm and more impact. Welcome!
