About Sarah

Sarah is a passionate, energetic and highly experienced HR practitioner, coach and trainer with a belief that organisational success is achieved through knowledgeable, motivated and engaged teams.

With over 25 years’ experience working in various strategic, developmental and HR business partnering roles Sarah’s experience is broad – an expert in all areas of the HR generalist spectrum including :-

  • Recruitment, Selection and Onboarding
  • Learning and Development
  • Succession Planning
  • Performance Management
  • Organisation Design and Change Management
  • Employee Relations – The Legal Framework / Managing Risk
  • Rewards and Benefits
  • Culture and Engagement

With an ability to quickly identify needs and gaps Sarah can build a targeted, commercial and holistic plan to move businesses forward with the objective of achieving success through a high-performance culture.

A confident and engaging communicator Sarah builds relationships quickly – her core values of integrity, honesty and authenticity means that she works with all stakeholders with a positive and open attitude – gaining the trust of teams throughout the organisation.

Sarah’s vast experience means that she will be carrying out a variety of activities from one day to the next!  There are no typical weeks’, but here is a snapshot! …

Monday – designing, delivering and facilitating a vision, purpose and values workshop with a leadership team – supporting them in understanding and agreeing their shared purpose and direction.

Tuesday – it’s all about leadership development for new managers – delivered in her own unique, engaging style!

Middle of the week – Wednesday – you might find Sarah working with Leadership Team building a People and Culture Strategy which will drive engagement across the business.

Thursday – creating a fit for purpose performance management process which Sarah will launch across the business – giving managers the confidence to have open, honest and engaging performance conversations with their teams.  Employees who understand the positive difference they are making in the business through clear objectives and purpose.

Friday already!  Before a well-deserved glass of red wine and her favourite Indian takeaway, Sarah’s focus could be on creating a resource plan including internal progression to support an organisation’s growth for the future.   Always focussed on the end in mind! There may also be coaching, and support needed for a manager who has a disciplinary to manage – building their skills and knowledge so that it is managed fairly and in line with statutory requirements.

Throughout the week there will be a number of coffee and catch-up opportunities with Lisa to talk through planned TalentPredix workshops and debriefs and to marvel at the impact it is having in organisations across the globe!

The weekend is for children’s activities.  Sarah spends time with her family and watches her son and daughter play in their football teams – cheering them on (embarrassingly) with passion!
