SAGE Coaching creates the springboard you need to move forward and create the life you dreamed of.
What is SAGE Coaching?
Coaching at SAGE is our chance to get to know you, your aspirations, and any blocks you might be experiencing, both personally and professionally. We work to champion personal strengths and experiences, and understand how your insights can empower you professionally.
Our team of consultants love changing cultures and people, allowing them to become better than they ever thought possible.
The SAGE Consultants offer three types of coaching to suit your needs and where you are in your career.
Our SAGE consultants will:
Listen to your frustrations, passions and goals to understand your experiences
Take you through deep insights and help you understand your values, revealing your ‘why’
Shine a light on your strengths and beliefs to light your life’s pathway

SAGE Insights Coaching begins with a free 30 minute discovery session to ascertain your current needs and gain an insight into your past experiences. This allows us to match you with a SAGE consultant who can best empower you to reach your goals.
The next step is to complete a Strengths-Based Survey which will enlighten your perspective on universal virtues, the qualities that are important to you in relationships, your strengths and the unique ways you express them.
We then proceed with 60 or 90 minute sessions each fortnight where you will be guided to reflect on the past couple of weeks, to look for messages in the positive experiences and to reposition setbacks into opportunities to keep moving forward in the direction of the life to aspire to.
It is recommended that you start with three months of fortnightly one-on-one coaching sessions, then you can reduce this to one monthly 60 or 90 minute session.
From then on, how you proceed is up to you! You may choose to end the coaching and join the SAGE Connections program, transfer to the small group coaching, or maintain a one-on-one session every three months to ensure you are on track.

After the initial three months of one-on-one coaching, you may choose to join a group of three or four small business owners.
Facilitated by a SAGE consultant, the small group will meet online monthly for two hours over a period of six months. In these confidential and supportive sessions, each person will have a dedicated 20 minutes to discuss their individual challenges. You will receive valuable insights and perspectives from the SAGE consultants and other members of the group.
It is an invaluable opportunity to connect with other small business owners and managers who share similar experiences and can offer transformative advice both personally and professionally.
Our SAGE consultants also have experience in the small business and managerial sector and can offer unique insights to guide you towards being a more effective and empowering leader.

Once you join the small group coaching, you will:
Have a sounding board to clarify your own thoughts and use different perspectives to adjust your thinking and improve business decisions
Not feel so alone in your leadership role
Gain a better understanding of your own and other’s reasoning in decision making
A chance to clarify difficult situations and be presented with options for solutions you might not have previously thought of
Get an opportunity for feedback to fine tune your coaching skills to support others in their roles

“I have found Mary from SAGE Insights to be a deep listener, which leads to her being insightful and precise with her prompts and responses.

FAQs
How do I know if the one-on-one coaching is right for me?
The SAGE one-on-one coaching is for you if you are beginning your leadership or management journey, or aspire to this in this future.
Your SAGE consultant will guide you to developing your personal insights and how they can move you towards positive outcomes with a clear direction.
If you are not sure if you would like to proceed with one-on-one coaching, we offer a free 30 minute discovery session where we can understand your current needs and whether our coaching can empower you to reach your goals.
Are group sessions recorded so I can watch them in my own time?
None of our group coaching sessions are recorded out of respect for each participant’s privacy. And of course, the benefit of joining the group coaching program is sharing your insights so they can be unpacked by others in the group and SAGE consultants.
What training do SAGE Insights coaches have?
SAGE coaches have a background of at least five years in leadership and management, and/or business ownership. Along with monthly peer coaching practice and review, they undergo an initial six month intensive coaching course facilitated by Mary Saunders. This training uses rigorously researched and scientifically evaluated frameworks, including:
Character strength research and regular self-assessment surveys
Self-actualisation to fully realise personal and professional potential
Emotional intelligence
Cognitive processes to understand different mindsets that influence how we learn, communicate and perform
Positive emotions for flourishing and maintaining well-being
Appreciative inquiry and motivational interviewing to people to develop their own reasons for change, resulting in greater coaching success
