Sarah Jaggers | Managing Change

Meet Sarah

I’m an executive coach with a background in occupational and coaching psychology, and I specialise in working with imposter syndrome. Much of my work is with senior leaders and professionals who feel that their external success doesn’t always match how confident they feel on the inside.

Over the past decade, I’ve supported high performers across a range of sectors. I take a thoughtful, evidence-based approach, drawing on psychological research and real-world leadership insight to help people understand and work through imposter feelings. These often show up in subtle but powerful ways, affecting confidence, visibility and decision-making.

What Clients have said about working with Sarah

  • Sarah helped me to bring an idea closer to reality. She explained and supported me in getting in the right direction without judging the reasons why I still had not done something or had not time to do more on my project. She understood well that it can be challenging to work, look after a family and trying to bring a project alive. I can only thank Sarah for her patience and support!

  • My coaching experience far exceeded my expectations. over the course of coaching, my experiences and aims did alter slightly in response to challenges in the work place. Sarah was incredibly supportive, open and curious that I explore these with her deeply, and perfectly encouraged me to make my own personal strategies around these challenges. Specifically, presentation skills and experiences were a key objective of mine to tackle through coaching. By reflecting with Sarah on the underlying issues and hurdles, and by considering each new presentation experience with her, I was able to identify which approach actually worked out for me. She also made me feel comfortable in acknowledging that I am someone who enjoys structure, and to play to my strengths. I feel more equipped and confident following my coaching experience. Thank you!
