In the Supercharge Your Superpower Workshop, Sandra is like a “Superpower Whisperer.” She has the magical ability to draw out the essence of what makes you “great.” She compassionately guides you on how to discover and then unleash your superpower in life and in business. As a solopreneur for 22 years and counting, I can attest it’s never too late or too early in your entrepreneurial journey to take advantage of this powerful workshop. I left this transformative weekend with a greater understanding of my core values and strengths, a new vision, and the tools to take my business to the next level.
Helping high achievers go beyond work-life balance to create their next chapter!
I spent over a decade at Gap Corporate (San Francisco) and in London, where I co-developed and led the execution of the real estate strategy in the UK. We successfully opened 85 stores over 5 years, which grew the UK operations sevenfold. I built talented internal and external teams of professionals to source locations and negotiate business terms for new stores and renewals.
After getting an MBA at Santa Clara University, I started a coaching practice for high achiever solopreneurs in 2015 and have been serving them ever since. I’ve written Reinventing Your Life-your guide to finding fulfillment in starting your own business, a business book for corporate professionals transitioning into starting their own businesses.
I have evolved into helping corporate, education, and non-profit high achiever leaders create the careers they want, which might mean staying at their current job or branching out. I continue to work with high achieving solo business owners helping them up level their current successful businesses.
With me, you get a credentialed and accomplished life coach that works with business professionals and has an extensive corporate background with an MBA.
