Sarah About Page.png

Hi, I’m Sarah Gruneisen.

Think of me as your guide on a profound journey inward, where we'll unlock the hidden powers within you and set free the dragons of potential.

 

In a world where authenticity often takes a backseat, my mission is to kindle a flame of trust, empathy, and autonomy in everyone willing to embrace their inner strength.

 

Are you ready to walk the path less traveled and discover your own way of the dragon?

 

Let's ignite your potential together.

More Than a Coach: A Catalyst for Change

In my quest to guide souls and spirits, I've seen transformations that defy imagination: imposter syndrome melting into a deep sense of belonging, chaotic paths clearing towards purpose, and silent presences roaring to life with undeniable power.

Working with me is not just about personal or professional development; it's about awakening the dragon within—silent yet potent, ready to make its mark on the world.

As a lifelong learner, my toolbox is rich with the wisdom of countless leadership philosophies, psychology insights, and agility principles.  My journey from engineering to enlightenment has been anything but conventional.  But here lies my truth: self-leadership is my legacy.

 

My aim?  To color the world with positivity, unravel complexities, and liberate the boundless potential in each of us.

Unconventional, Unyielding, Unmistakably Sarah  Wondering if I'm your typical leadership coach?  Think again.  As a neurodivergent leader, I celebrate my quirks and use them as a source of strength.  Working with me is about embodying the dragon—mighty, genuine, and transformative.

The Dragon Within: Why Dragons?

You might wonder about my fascination with dragons. To me, dragons symbolize the pinnacle of both authenticity and leadership - mighty, yet introverted beings who thrive on bringing out the best in others.

 

My Chinese astrological sign, the fire dragon, embodies power, loyalty, and the capacity to protect what's precious.  It's a fitting metaphor for the leadership journey we embark on together.

But there's more to our emblem than dragons.  The Koi fish's resilience, the Ting Symbol's emphasis on listening, the fiery Heart's passion, and the Lotus flower's beauty emerging from adversityall reflect the multifaceted journey of growth and leadership.

Join me on this transformative adventure.

 

Together, we're not just facing dragons; we're becoming them.

“The way Sarah makes sure that people feel safe to share, are able to open up, and confident in each other is an amazing skill”

“I have participated in every training that Sarah offers: Agile training, Liberating Structures Immersion, Finding your Core, and Setting Worthy Goals, and I've consulted with Sarah 1-1 for guidance on Scrum Mastering.

 

I am almost done with the Worthy Goals course, and I can't believe how my sense of purpose in my job and life has changed, even though my role and life circumstances haven't changed.

 

As we wrap up the course, I'm confident that I will find goals that will breathe excitement and purpose into the new year, as well as actions to realize changes toward my own vision.”
