“I worked with Sarah for a year as part of the Maribyrnong Kindergarten Committee of Management. Throughout that year, the committee faced many challenges that had the potential to be adverse for the Kindergarten. Sarah approaches all her work with professionalism and is able to keep a level head when emotions are running high. She is organised, diligent and maintains the highest standards of practice at all times. I learnt a lot from Sarah in my year on the committee and have been able to transfer those skills into my personal and professional life. She continues to be a source of inspiration, support and knowledge for me.”

“As a Continuous Improvement practitioner for many years it was so refreshing that my next assignment was to work with Sarah. I was called in to work with Sarah to investigate a problem that impacted staff in a local council and deliver a customer focused solution for better utilisation and productivity of staff. Sarah’s experience in Service Reviews, workshop design and facilitation and overall Continuous Improvement made this assignment such a pleasure and led to the successful root cause analysis, solutions identification and implementation. I cannot recommend Sarah enough for any type of engagement where a high level of honesty, integrity and outcome delivery is essential.”

Her skills in this area are exceptional and enable her to grasp key strategic opportunities quickly and communicate them to others in a simple and clear way.

Sarah’s strong communication skills enable others who are unsure to feel more at ease and supported by her strong leadership skills in this space.

She seeks out opportunities to improve outcomes for teams and the community to ensure that best practice becomes core business.”
