Personal Coaching for Life, Career and Confidence

Motivation Coaching to
Help You Move Forward

Feeling stuck, burned out or unsure what’s next? My 1-to-1 motivation coaching gives you space to pause, reflect and take action – in your career or your life. Using Motivational Maps®, I’ll help you understand what energises you, what’s holding you back, and how to move forward with clarity and confidence.

 

Choose Coaching for the Right Reason - Not Just Because You Think You Should

There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to coaching. Whether you’re questioning your career, rebuilding confidence, or just want to feel more like yourself again, the most important thing is finding support that fits where you are now.

That’s why I offer different types of 1-to-1 motivation coaching – all grounded in real-life tools, not fluff.

Motivation Coach

Hi, I’m Sarah - a motivation specialist, qualified coach and former HR professional. I’ve spent over 20 years helping people understand what drives them, and how to make choices that feel right for who they are. My coaching is practical, honest and rooted in real life. Whether you’re navigating a career change, rebuilding confidence, or just feeling stuck, I’ll help you find clarity, energy and direction - without the fluff.

What Coaching Means to Me - And Why It Works

Career Coaching

When you know something isn’t right at work and you want clarity on what to do next.

Sarah Stones, Motivation Specialist, coach and speaker based in the UK

Ever felt like you’re working hard but not quite feeling it? That’s often down to motivation – and more specifically, what’s fuelling (or draining) it.

You’re not alone. Sometimes we get stuck in roles or workplaces that drain our energy instead of building it. That feeling of frustration, doubt or uncertainty is often down to not knowing what’s driving you and what’s holding you back.

Working with a Motivation Specialist. What to expect

I use an extremely accurate tool called a Motivational Map® that identifies exactly what motivates you and helps you get clear on where you get your energy from. So you can start making career decisions that fit who you are and what you want.

Whether you’re job searching, thinking about a change, or simply wondering why your current role doesn’t feel like a good fit, career coaching gives you space to reflect, explore and move forward.

  • Using my professional HR experience, and my training as a coach, I’ll work with you to:
  • Build a stand-out CV that shows your strengths and achievements
  • Identify roles, organisations and sectors that match your motivators
  • Develop a strong LinkedIn profile
  • Prepare for interviews with confidence
  • Negotiate a salary that reflects your skills and experience
  • Navigate career transitions or promotions

By investing in career coaching, you give yourself space to reflect, explore and take action, so your next move feels clear, energising and right for you.

Life & Confidence Coaching

For when you’ve lost momentum, feel stuck, or just want to feel like yourself again.

Sometimes it isn’t about work – you need something to change – and you might not even know what that is!.
If you’ve been feeling stuck, disconnected or unsure what’s next, motivation coaching helps you press pause and work out what matters most.
With the help of Motivational Maps®, I’ll help you to identify what energises you, where you might be losing momentum, and what can change to help you move forward again.

This work will help you with:

  • Getting clarity after burnout or overwhelm
  • Exploring limiting beliefs, self-doubt or emotional blocks
  • Setting boundaries and making decisions that feel right
  • Gaining clarity on life goals and values
  • Rebuilding confidence and momentum

Here’s the thing. You already know all the answers! My job as a coach is to help you find them.
