New Year, More Me

If you don't build your dream, someone else will hire you to build theirs.

This year I set up my own business, combining my skills and experience as a psychologist, coach, educator and yoga teacher. In August I reduced my hours at work and from the end of January, I’m all in! From February I will be working full time in my own business, Sarah Philp Coaching.

Looking back on my fifteen years in education there are recurring themes of vision, change or rather improvement, and taking action. I've always looked at things a bit differently, I think deeply about things, see what could be and make it happen. I've done this for myself as well as with and for others.

Integrity, growth and improvement are my core values, my North Star, and they have united again as I make this next transition. I'm excited about the year ahead and look forward to creating something unique and creating a way of being that allows me to help others to walk their own path and to live and work in a way that is aligned to their values.

There are a few ways I can work with you and your team(s) and at the heart of all of this is this quotation from Nancy Kline (More Time to Think):

"The quality of everything human beings do, everything - everything - depends on the quality of the thinking we do first"

I am good at helping people think, think differently and think deeply in a way that leads to taking action and a better way, whatever that looks like. In fact only today an ex-colleague reminded me this was what I always did in our work together.

Human conversation is one of the oldest ways to nurture the conditions for growth and improvement. We come alive when we talk about what's important to us and it is this that has the potential to guide us into new and different actions that offer the potential for great things. In a world where technology has brought us closer to those far away from us and disconnected us from those around us we need to re-establish connection. We need to reap the benefits from the thinking that can be generated when someone holds the space allowing you to think deeply, independently and importantly uninterrupted. Coaching can be transformational, I know this from personal experience and I continue to benefit from this as a coach myself.

Now is my time to be more me, to believe in myself, my path and build my dream and I hope that you will be a part of that in some way!
