Mentoring
One-to-one time with someone who’s actually done it.
Mentoring with Sarah is exactly what it sounds like. You bring what you’re working on. She brings 25 years of pattern-recognition. Together you make the next move clearer.
What it looks like
A real conversation. About the thing you’re actually stuck on.
01
60 minutes, on Zoom
Long enough to get into the substance. Short enough that we both stay sharp.
02
You set the agenda
Bring a brief beforehand or talk it through cold. Whichever serves the conversation.
03
Notes after, always
A short follow-up email with the actions we agreed and any links Sarah promised.
04
No retainer creep
Bundles have an expiry. You’re never paying for sessions you’re not using.
How to book
Two ways to start.
Pricing
Single sessions, or bundles for an arc of work.
Bundles save you money and commit you to the work. Single sessions keep things light. There’s no wrong answer.
For a one-off — a particular decision, a tricky moment, a sounding board before something big.
A short arc. Enough to work through one substantial change.
The most-chosen bundle. Six months of structured time together.
A full career-progression arc, paced over six to nine months.
For people working towards a substantial leap — a senior role, a leadership transition.
Is mentoring right for you?
Mentoring isn’t for every career stage. Here’s how to tell.
Career-starter
If you’re brand new, the Event Pro Portal Starter bundle gives better value first. Mentoring works once you have something to react to.
2–5 years in
The sweet spot. You’ve got real situations to bring; the patterns Sarah teaches will save you years.
5–10 years in
Most clients here. Career inflection points, first leadership roles, deciding whether to specialise — this is where mentoring earns its keep.
Heads of events
Mentoring works, but most senior leaders get more out of consultancy — packaged engagements rather than ongoing time.
Sarah doesn’t tell you what events should look like. She listens to what yours need to do, and then she’s brutally specific about how to get there.
Tell me what you’re working on.
Whether it’s a discovery call about consultancy, a single mentoring session, or a quick question about training your team — replies come from Sarah directly, usually within a working day.
