Organizational Leaders About

A few years ago, Sabrina and I collaborated on a project at a private educational institution that was maturing and wrestling with its response relative to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Our work included a discovery process that included multiple interviews, interactive groups, and extensive data gathering, diving into systemic themes and subtle, yet powerful, cultural patterns and implications. The work culminated in highly interactive feedback and dialogue sessions with organizational leaders and members, leading them to adopt new policies, practices, and leadership behaviors.

Throughout the process, Sabrina was an active and engaged partner, deeply invested in the process as well as the outcomes. The combination of her analytic skills and intuition are mighty. Her presence, experience, wisdom, and willingness to tell the truth were so important to me, personally, and invaluable to the client.

Problem needed solving: Providing engaging professional development opportunities for early career to senior level underrepresented groups in computing.

When working with groups and individuals, Sabrina Coleman has the amazing ability to root out a client’s biggest challenges and outline the steps they need to take to have their breakthrough or ‘aha’ moment. When I need to design professional development workshops for programs she is my go to person for program design and facilitation.

Before my coaching with Sabrina, I was worried about my job, I felt stuck- as if I had no choice but to remain in my position although it did not serve me. As a result of coaching, I learned that I needed to honor how I felt. I became more at peace with the fact that change was needed. I also developed the courage to facilitate change. I found a new job and was able to leave my old one with gratitude for the experience and what it taught me. I would say: if you want clarity, if you really want change and you need an empathetic and supportive partner in the process, do not hesitate to coach with Sabrina Coleman.
