My signature S.H.I.N.E Coaching Programmes

Through my signature S.H.I.N.E 1:1 and group coaching programmes, membership and workshops, I’ve helped hundreds of brilliant women get unstuck, confident and clear on their next steps professionally.
They’ve re-designed their careers and started businesses that align with their own unique Work Happiness Blueprint © reflecting their individual personalities, purpose and definitions of work happiness.
You can start designing your own Work Happiness Blueprint© by downloading and watching my ‘Work Happiness Masterclass’ above or by clicking on the button below.


What outcomes you can expect
My signature S.H.I.N.E coaching framework is the very framework that helped me personally find more confidence, clarity and ultimately happiness and success in my own work life when I found myself in my own sizeable career rut back in 2016.
I used it to create my own Work Happiness Blueprint © and then design and grow a successful coaching business that is completely aligned with who I am, what I’m great at and what I stand for.
And although you might expect me to say this, I’ve honestly never been happier in the whole of my 20 year career. (plus, I now have way more balance and earn more than I did in my part-time corporate Head of Talent Development & Engagement role!)
It’s now helped my numerous clients create more happiness, confidence and success in their work lives and I promise I can help you too.
After working with me, you’ll be able to articulate confidently and clearly:
- Who you are – What makes you tick? What are your personality preferences and strengths?
- What’s important to you – What are your core values and beliefs? What is your North Star?
- Your unique value in the world of work and business – What makes you special and sought after?
- What will ultimately make you happier and more successful in your work life – whether that’s a career re-design or even starting your own business.
what’s important to me and the value I have."

Let me help you unlock your unique potential &
design a happy, fulfilling & successful work life that aligns with your personality & professional purpose.
On your terms.
what it is that makes me tick and ultimately happy at work."

Hello & why I can help...
I’m Sarah Clarke. Mum, wife, optimist and self-confessed personal and career development geek.
I’m on a mission to help talented women unlock their potential and find more happiness at work, by showing them how to design their best work lives – on their terms.
I’ve worked in the fields of employee happiness and development for nearly 2 decades and am incredibly passionate about the professional potential of women.
I left the corporate world of employee engagement and development in 2016 and went freelance.
I then set up my own career and leadership development coaching business, Shine Brighter, in March 2018.
Since then I have helped hundreds of talented women reconnect with their unique strengths, values and personality preferences and rebuild their self-belief; allowing them to unlock their potential and shine brighter in their careers and businesses.
My profound interest in personality and human potential was confirmed when I qualified as a strengths and performance coach over a decade ago.
I’m also certified to conduct MBTI (Myers Briggs Type Indicator), Hogan’s Leadership Forecast Series and Gallup’s CliftonStrengths psychometric assessments which I use throughout my coaching practise.
My approach is informed by positive psychology and neuroscience insights and I recently certified as a Mental Health First Aider.
Before becoming a freelance career and leadership coach, I worked at several fast-paced and dynamic organisations in the tech start up and online world; each one with their own unique and vibrant culture. All of these companies epitomise innovation, passion and creativity and these values have helped shape my own work philosophy.
Originally from Nottingham, I now live in Buckinghamshire with my husband, two young daughters and cat!

Kind words from happy clients
After her help I now feel fearless, exuberant, flying. I now have clarity on my values, strengths that I didn’t even know I had and an artillery of redefined skills and superpowers at my disposal.
I have so much more confidence in myself and my abilities and, although I’ve so much work left to do, I know I can bloody well do it.
So a huge THANK YOU, Sarah – you have indeed made me shine brighter!"

You have really been the most incredible support and ignited my thinking. Working with you has really helped clarify who I am, what’s important to me and the value I have.
On top of that it is rare to find someone you really connect with and I definitely found that with you.”

I decided to work with Sarah to help guide me through that process … and boy am I pleased I did! Sarah has helped me work through the fog to gain clarity and pick through what it is that makes me tick and ultimately happy at work.
It’s been a great experience and a real investment in myself.
I would highly recommend working with Sarah on any of her courses to help focus your career thoughts, gain clarity, be accountable and have a wing woman!
Thank you again, Sarah.”

Sarah is AMAZING to work with and the program exceeded my expectations on every level.
Prior to the program I felt like I had a good handle on my strengths, but was really struggling to articulate them and bring them to life.
Working with Sarah helped me take a step back and deeply look at my values.
It was the piece that really made it all come together.
I hadn’t ever really stopped to think about or unpick my values in that way.
I finished the course feeling empowered and much more positive about my future. Thank you so much for all your help Sarah!”

Sarah is warm and intuitive and guides you through the course, taking you through thought-provoking and revealing exercises at each stage, coupled with weekly group video calls (which were so much more inspiring than I had anticipated).
The other women in the group were so supportive and I felt that I learned something from all of them, despite us being in a variety of different situations. Sarah creates a friendly and open dialogue throughout and empowers each member to uncover their own insights which is truly valuable.
I am so excited for my next step now after going on this hugely revealing journey.
I can’t thank Sarah enough and would recommend her to anyone who feels they have lost their work mojo.”

I loved the methodical nature of Sarah’s framework and had multiple lightbulb moments as I worked through the different exercises.
It felt so indulgent and so amazing to allow myself time to focus on what I actually want, rather than what works for everybody else and it’s given me loads of clarity about moving forwards – what to look for, what to look out for and how I can be happier in my professional life.
Sarah is so passionate and engaged with your story that her energy alone fires you up and her experience and insight will definitely inspire you.
I’m recommending the course to everyone I know at the moment!”


Before we started I was confused about what I should be doing with my career, couldn't really pinpoint what I was good at and had had my confidence knocked by a few bad clients.
However, throughout Sarah's SHINE program, I managed to unscramble what interests me, the work I enjoy, and what I am good at.
HOORAY! Identifying my values and strengths and where I should be focusing my energies, has really spurred me to not settle for work that doesn't align with me or bring me happiness.
I would highly recommend Sarah!"

I've loved working with Sarah - her warm and encouraging style, as well as her breadth of knowledge and experience, have made working with her really enjoyable.
If you want support to remind you of what you're best at and the motivation to go for it, I'd highly recommend Sarah."

Sarah is incredibly warm and skilfully guided me on a personal journey to take more control over my career. I was stuck in a rut, feeling low and unable to see a way forward.
I now know my strengths and where to focus my time and energy in order to reach my goals.
I would recommend Sarah and the 1:1 sessions to anyone.”
