Sara Easley has been coaching others for over 9 years and is a Certified Professional Coach through Corporate Coach U (CCU) since March 2005. She specializes in individual leadership development and organizational succession planning. As a member of the International Coach Federation (ICF), Sara earned the Associate Certified Coach (ACC) credential in 2009 and is committed to demonstrating the ICF's extensive set of coaching competencies in her practice. 


First-line and mid-level managers dedicated to continued growth have benefited from Sara’s coaching through her focus on emotional intelligence (EQ) and specific leadership competencies. The individual efforts of her clients have directly impacted team and departmental results as well as their own career advancement or transition opportunities. 


In the area of team coaching, Sara will focus on improving group effectiveness through open dialogue, empathy of diversity, and agreement on mutual purpose. To achieve these critical factors, she incorporates her advanced-level certification inMyers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). This is a validated psychological tool which identifies individual personality preferences in communication, decision-making, conflict resolution, and change management. By helping others to understand their own inner dynamic, it provides a powerful way to understand and appreciate similarities and differences in others. 


Sara is also a dynamic facilitator certified in several key leadership programs which require ongoing skill development. Programs include: Coaching Clinic and Essential Conversations for Developing Others (both through Corporate Coach U); Simply Strengths immersion workshop (through Marcus Buckingham Company), Crucial Conversations immersion workshop (through VitalSmarts), Emotional Intelligence(EQ) and Appreciative Inquiry coaching methods. 


Sara’s personal value statement is: “I feel STRONG when I am coaching others to identify and leverage their strengths to reach their desired personal and professional results.” Her commitment includes: (1) confidential coaching sessions with intentional focus on leadership development and effectiveness; (2) collaborative group partnerships for problem-solving, trust-building, and improved team results; and (3) support of key leadership programs as certified facilitator. 


In her spare time, Sara enjoys life with her husband, loves anything to do with the beach, is an amateur photographer and avid reader, and casually raises orchids through a technique that she describes as "kind neglect".
