Career Confidence for Introverts
Build confidence, communicate with impact, and advance your career. Coaching for introverts to leverage their natural strengths and quiet energy to succeed at work (without the pressure to be someone you’re not!)
Do you feel overlooked at work despite your skills? Struggle to have your ideas valued, influence decisions, or gain recognition for your contributions? Do you find yourself drained trying to fit an extroverted mould?
If you’re nodding along, you’re in the right place.
Welcome to The Quiet Catalyst.
Constantly pushing yourself to speak up, network, or perform in ways that don’t feel natural is exhausting. If you’re feeling stuck, overlooked, frustrated, or experiencing self-doubt, missed opportunities, or slow career progression, you’re not alone.
Every day it can feel like your ideas are ignored, your influence is limited, and your career is stalling — but it doesn’t have to be that way.
Services
Career coaching tailored for introverts looking to lead, progress, or influence more effectively at work. Together, we’ll develop strategies that fit your strengths, your energy, and your goals.
The Quietly Confident Career Programme
For introverts ready to progress in their career but feeling overlooked or stuck. Across four focused sessions, you’ll clarify your direction, demonstrate your value, and advance with confidence (without pretending to be someone you’re not!)
The Quite Leader Programme
Coaching for introverted leaders who want to influence effectively, manage relationships, and lead with calm authority. Over six sessions, you’ll strengthen presence, navigate team dynamics, and elevate your leadership impact.
Gain clarity, confidence, and influence in your career while staying true to your natural strengths.
Together, we will unlock your quiet strengths, ensure your ideas are heard, your impact is felt, and you thrive in your career.
Build career confidence
Feel calm and capable in meetings and team settings. Navigate challenges, influence decisions, and build credibility (even when working with difficult or opposite-type colleagues!)
Communicate with impact
Share your ideas clearly and persuasively, both planned and on the spot. Make sure your voice is heard, respected, and valued in any situation.
Advance your career
Gain the recognition, leadership opportunities, and career progress you deserve. Increase visibility and influence without faking extroverted behaviours that feel inauthentic and draining.
My commitment to amplifying the impact of our work
In collaboration with B1G1 (Buy1Give1), every time we begin a program or project together, a contribution will be made to support various social and environmental causes around the world, creating a ripple effect of positive change.
She has the right combination of ‘reassuring and friendliness’ that allows you to relax and trust her; and ‘expert and professional’, that gives you the extra level of confidence that you are in very capable hands.
Sarah is a natural coach…with a special knack

I would totally recommend Sarah
She helped me to rediscover an inner confidence in my abilities, and see the positives in my experience where I saw gaps. This helped me to shine enough at the interviews to land the role.
Caroline Richardson, Head of PR & Comms
It is easy to connect with Sarah because she is such an empathetic person, and is able to ask tough questions in a way that is kind and reassuring.
