"Sarah is an exceptional professional! For all projects, she communicated regularly and effectively and kept all of the pieces organized and easy to access. She was incredibly patient with all of our questions and has a beautiful way of balance individuals' suggestions and points of view with the needs of an organization. She also built buy-in and trust with our staff as part of all of these processes. Sarah has set us up for success and provided us tools that can grow with us. She is, by far, one of the best professionals I have ever had the pleasure of working with. You will be in credibly good and capable hands with her!"

"Sarah has been an outstanding thought partner throughout this process: rigorous and focused on work plan/project management, curious and adaptable to our org idiosyncrasies, and exceptionally nuanced in helping us think through various values trade-offs. Truly a pleasure to work with Sarah and hope we'll have a chance to do so again."

"I am writing my first input reviews of the year using the new performance review system, and WOW! It is infinitely superior to write reviews this way. Before, I was often spending way too much time spinning my wheels during review writing. I know I was a part of this effort, but I feel very much like a happy customer right now! Being able to hone in on the most salient bullets in the performance standards for each person, copy those into the review, and then elaborate on why those are most important- it feels magical."

Maeve Bowen

Senior Director of Human Resources, The Bridgespan Group

"Sarah did excellent work for our organization leading us to a new and improved performance management process grounded in a new competency model. She's a phenomenal listener with a strong ability to translate open-ended conversations into specific revisions. She brings strong content knowledge to the table, is a great communicator, and quickly learns the needs of a new client. Would strongly recommend for all your Talent/HR needs!"
