She shares proven strategies to help you build visibility, have better discovery calls, and attract more clients (even if you only have a few hours a week). Sarah also introduces the brand-new 6-Week Summer Sales Coaching Programme, which replaces the usual July Bootcamp to focus on what consultants need most right now: sales momentum. This episode is packed with practical tips, relatable insights, and a game plan to help you make the most of your summer — and head into September with a solid pipeline.

Sarah offers practical strategies for preventing burnout, including setting boundaries, seeking support, and celebrating personal wins. Thanks go to Evolving HR for their HR Wellbeing Survey 2025 .
