Pivot Point was founded on the idea that anyone can navigate life’s big U-turns to achieve new levels of success, happiness and satisfaction.
That includes you.

“Sarah is a leader who leads by example: she’s efficient, outgoing, results-driven and full of enthusiasm. Sarah is very approachable and having her as a thought partner has been outstanding.”
You see, I never had a Plan B
I always wanted a LOT from life. I wanted success, accolades, recognition.
I wanted to be an Olympic figure skater.
And I trained HARD.
I was on the ice by 5am, perfecting turns while my school friends ate Cap’n Crunch. I packed in another two hours every day after the school bell rang.
My summers clashed on-ice strength training, with ballet, choreography and weights from 7am – 5pm. I didn’t mind. My heart soared every time I perfected a jump.
In my heart I was headed toward gold.
But injury stole my Olympic dreams and that glory wasn’t meant to be.
It was a hard fall.
Naturally, I went all in on a new direction. Channelling that drive, determination and, if I’m honest, anger and upset, into a life in aviation.
After 15 years training high flyers I thought I had life all figured out. But as you may have guessed, life had other ideas. (Doesn’t it always?)
I climbed the corporate ladder again and again, and I LOVED that climb. I loved making connections, seeing my trainees thrive. I aced targets. Revelled in the recognition. It was fast, that world. It was pressured. It was exhilarating.
Until it wasn’t.
Slowly I realised the daily grind had stopped fuelling my energy.
The pace was exhausting.
I was exhausted.
Sassy Sarah became serious Sarah,
consumed by goals, figures, targets and to-do lists.
And then serious Sarah became anxious Sarah.
What if I couldn’t keep smashing goals and pleasing everyone?
How would I keep the momentum going?
Just as I had after my skating injury, I felt powerless – like ocean waves were crashing, trying to pull me under.
Only this time I didn’t battle tide. I gave in.
And discovered something extraordinary…
I dived deep, like a treasure diver, searching my soul for hidden gems, until I found that drive and determination were no longer enough.
Real, sustainable success meant looking inside.
As I called out my critical thoughts, faced my fears, got brave, took risks and – gasp – scheduled in a little rest and reflection every day, it all shifted.
This was no Plan B. You see, I wasn’t settling. I was realigning.
I was pivoting.
In the process, I uncovered a whole new shining Plan A.
Five years ago, this fulfilling, giving life I’ve made was hidden under my go-go-go autopilot lifestyle, unseen, unrealised. Today? I wake up zinging with possibility (even without a green juice).
When people around me saw my transformation, they wanted tips, then training. I got trained. Then I got asked to partner, to speak, to lead big, corporate trainings.
Of course, as a coach, there’s nothing I like better than to share…
