Shine Brighter Consulting was founded by me, Sarah Clarke, in 2016.

I have worked in the fields of employee engagement, coaching and organisational and talent development for over 15 years. I am proud to have led the team that achieved the #1 ranking in The Sunday Times Best Companies to work for listings for 2015 and 2016. I am also a qualified strengths and performance coach and certified to conduct MBTI, Hogan and Gallup’s CliftonStrengths psychometric assessments. Before becoming a freelance consultant, I worked at several fast-paced and dynamic organisations, 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. I live in Buckinghamshire with my husband and two young daughters.
