Welcome - you are in the right place. SFC Coaching is your place.

"Executive & personal coaching for leaders who want a better, more truthful experience of life and work"

Ideas, skills, and so much experience. You’re already leading, already going first.

You or your people have a style of your own; an attitude.

You are ambitious, curious, and honest, and have a point of view; often ahead of the curve, out of time, out of step you probably grew up in somewhat unique circumstances; maybe you’re wired a bit differently and you are looking for a very experienced partner who will coach, mentor, and co-create with you, outside the lines, inside the society, outside the culture.

Knowing you and your team have a lot to bring actualise.

There are many ways to lead a life

“Hello Angels <Gretchen & Sarah>, It really is a privilege to witness you both each month hold space for everyone and touch everyone with your empathy and caring. I’m so glad I found you guys and your beautiful lighthouse.”

Lighthouse Member

Where do people go to grieve?

Really, honestly grieve?

To the Lighthouse…

Grief is hard, really hard. Your grief is sacred and deserves to be honoured and tended to with compassion in your own way, and in your own time. 

Grief can be isolating, so our mission is to hold space for people to grieve openly and honestly within a supportive community. 

Together with Gretchen Miura, we offer the Lighthouse Circle, Evergreen & Free Content to sit with you as you tend to your grief.

I’ve been working with Sarah since 2017 and my investment in her coaching has more than paid for itself in monetary terms alone.

Add to that the support, the skill building, the insight, and the incredible level of care I have received, and I can’t imagine how much harder (and less fun!) life would be if I didn’t have her in my corner.”
