About Sara

Sara Schairer is an ICF leadership coach-in-training with 12+ years of experience facilitating compassion and self-compassion programs for people of all walks of life.

After leading compassion and self-compassion trainings for tens of thousands of people for over a decade, Sara noticed that the compassion needle hadn't budged. She realized that in order to truly impact others, our systems needed to be compassionate. This realization led her to write the book, "A Case for Compassion: What Happens When We Prioritize People and the Planet."

While researching and conducting interviews for the book, it became clear to Sara that in order to create systems that prioritize compassion, we need leaders who prioritize compassion. That's why Sara became a leadership coach.

Are you a leader who wants to prioritize compassion?

Benefits of Compassion-Focused Coaching

With compassion-focused coaching, leaders gain the wisdom to move through even the most difficult leadership challenges in a more skillful way. Some of those challenges may include:

Difficult conversations
Direct, tough feedback
Termination
Managing challenging personalities
Performance improvement plans
Making difficult decisions
Taking action on and communicating unpopular agendas

You'll find that compassion doesn't make you "soft." Instead, compassion gives you the capacity to be fully present during challenging moments. And self-compassion gives you the support you need to continue showing up as the leader you want to be.

Sara offers her full presence, empathy, curiosity, and humor to make her clients feel supported and heard. She enjoys working with leaders at all levels.
