Bio:

Sarah Robinson is a seasoned coach and business strategist who helps entrepreneurs, parents, authors and others blast through the grip of mediocrity. An entrepreneur herself for more than 8 years, she has her finger on the pulse of the challenges, questions and concerns faced by anyone who is trying to “swim upstream”. Her expertise in personal and business change was developed through many years of working with and providing coaching to other entrepreneurs and start-up non-profits, where she honed her ability to “turn around” thousands of struggling individuals and organizations.

“In today’s climate of “success at the expense of everything” there is a growing group or “tribe” who feel drawn to the idea that we don’t have to settle for being like everyone else – in our businesses or in our lives – to be successful. There is a more adventurous, creative way to work and live and, though it requires some work and a sense of adventure, the payoff is absolutely worth it,” says Sarah. Her experience performing onstage for more than 10 years, as well as directing and teaching theatre arts, has helped her clients learn to stretch out and try new roles, finding their way to their own definition of success easily and flawlessly. With a thirst for adventure, Sarah loves rock climbing, whitewater canoeing, and traveling throughout the US and abroad.

Sarah trained as a coach with “the best-known life coach in America,” New York Times bestseller and O magazine columnist, Martha Beck. She is married with 1 child and lives in Birmingham, AL with her family and their lab, Pepper.
