What people and organizations say

Trusted by leaders navigating complex change.

“I’ve found [Sahra] to exemplify ethical leadership and commitment to always keep in mind the needs of those to be served. A recent example of a project led by Sahra for the Ministry of Health is thedevelopment of a sustainability roadmap for donor funded health care programs. Sahra coordinated very well with all the stakeholders whilst leading a team of three directors and officers to plan a full-day retreat, facilitate a comprehensive discussion on the topic and report back to the senior leadership of participant organizations well before the deadline.”

“Sahra was phenomenal! She is a skilled moderator and facilitator and simply brilliant at what she does. She didn't shy away from getting the group outside of its comfort zone, but all the while being professional, respectful and flexible. I was thoroughly impressed and grateful to have her take this on despite the many challenges that occurred.”

I had the joy and privilege of co-facilitating with Sahra. In facilitation, she both commands space and invites people into exploring their views and vulnerabilities. Moments stick in my mind, such as how she brought the feedback session alive helping draw out tangible examples. A cultural bridge, she brings a wealth of experience and expertise, and most of all grace, wisdom, and empathy. I highly recommend her!

I worked with Sahra as my coach when I embarked on my Leadership journey. Her coaching style worked for me as an introvert. Immediately, you are relaxed with her style and feel okay to be vulnerable. Sahra helped me with my leadership skills. I learned from her how to relieve performance anxiety and work pressure by delegation. Our time together has really impacted my day-to-day life and most importantly helped me balance work/life issues.

Having the opportunity to learn from you has made a substantial change in my career and personal life. When we first began working together, I never imagined I would be able to make as much progress as I have. Today I can say that I am a better leader. You have taught me to have a growth mindset, knowing that regardless of the challenges (VUCA) to always face them and keep my head above water. Your constructive feedback has brought me to build a strong relationship with my team by being a role model and a mentor to those in need.
