The Leadership Secret
Developing Leaders of the 21st Century
what’s the secret?
This is the million pound question. Everybody wants to know the leadership secret and people often ask why we chose this as our business name. The answer to that last question is easy, it’s a talking point, it makes people curious!
The answer to the first question is more complex. The fact is, the secret to great leadership is different for everyone - it depends!
It depends on your business situation:
- How long have you been in business?
- What’s the history?
- What’s the culture?
- Who do you have working for you?
- What do you do? How good are you at doing it? Why do you do it?
- What’s going on in the market?
It also depends on you - your style, values, experience, the list goes on.
The good news is that you can find the answer to your unique leadership greatness.

what they say
“
I was early 50’s and sure that I ‘knew myself’ when the idea of business coaching first came along, I was sceptical to say the least.
Within the first meeting with Sarah, I knew I had found someone who was going to open my mind in ways that I’d have not been able to do on my own. The coaching felt personal to me and specific to our business, I had expected a more generic approach and I couldn’t have been more wrong.
Sarah helped me to realise that, often, I was actually the one standing in my own way.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Sarah. Having Sarah’s external view of myself and our business has proved to be invaluable and the positive impacts she has had are ongoing.
My only regret is that I didn’t meet with Sarah sooner!

Sarah doesn’t tell you what to do with your business. Sarah listens, asks questions and before you know it, she’s unlocked the answers that were already inside your mind. That’s what’s astounding about Sarah and The Leadership Secret.

Sarah has been my compass in navigating the complexities of leadership and business over the last five years. Her mentorship was pivotal as I tackled tough business strategies, difficult conversations, and significant career transitions. Her steadfast guidance taught me to demand excellence and accountability from myself. I attribute my professional growth and resilience to Sarah's unwavering support and insightful coaching.

Kate Offord
I am a performance coach and coach developer in the fields of swimming, triathlon and health. As a coach I am passionate about helping people discover what might be getting in their way so that together we can work towards achieving their goals. I have worked with athletes to bring them to the British Championships in swimming, and to multiple medals at English National Championships, as well as helping numerous triathletes conquer ironman distance events and longer.
I have recently been called a ‘super communicator’ - I think this means that I put people at ease and make the difficult seem easier! I strongly believe that culture and environment impact well being and performance. Leaders need to be in good health to withstand the challenges of todays world, but squeezing in a fitness routine can be a challenge. We will work together to find a way that you can get the balance right, enjoy becoming healthier fitter and getting to peak performance both in your own life and in business. I look forward to helping you to smash your goals.
