Summary

Sarah Hernon
I believe Sarah to be a highly effective counsellor and coach. Having someone that was exclusively interested in my next steps (and my longer term career ambition) and able to help me reflect, rather than just simply jump into action was vital to my successful transition. (Finance Director)
I have over 25 years experience in both Private and Public Sector organisations. providing career coaching support to all levels. I am renowned for the way I adapt my approach to the needs of each individual. Whilst I enjoy the challenge associated with coaching Senior Executives , I also get tremendous satisfaction from supporting employees at a mid/junior level. The feedback I have received from both the clients and individuals regarding my ability to “help the individual understand their transferable skills, build their confidence and market themselves in a new environment”gives me a sense of what I do on a daily basis worthwhile. My breadth of career management knowledge, coupled with my passion to “help candidates to see career transition as a positive experience” gives me real job satisfaction. As a Subject Matter Expert on Career Management, Talent Assessment for selection and career development including psychometric testing means I can provide a broad range of capabilities.
