Bridging the skills and mindset gap.

Mindset is everything.

Sarah Knight is an award-winning trainer, facilitator and workplace culture consultant. She is a behaviour changemaker, a business and mindset coach helping individuals and organisations develop success mindsets embedding positive behaviours for change.

Mindset is everything. And yet it’s the thing we don’t train; it’s the thing personally and professionally we don’t work on. It’s the thing that can have the most profound effect on individual development and team performance.

Mindset coaching, development and training equips you, your team, your business, your world with practical tools to deal with tricky situations and difficult emotions.

It transforms your perspective and creates the energy that empowers you to relax, regain control, reframe your experiences and build coping strategies - no matter what situation you find yourself in your personal and professional life.

It all starts with mindset.

Everything I do starts with mindset. Because it’s the anchor in everything you do. It’s your ability to manage, to cope, to move forward, it’s your perspective on the world, it’s the lens you see through. It’s how you manage personally. It’s how you succeed professionally. Working with your mindset, understanding your mindset means everything becomes a little bit easier. Building and developing a performance mindset, a success mindset, a growth mindset sets you up for smashing any barriers you face. 

It's the best investment you’ll ever make.

 

And then it’s about behaviours. And patterns of behaviour.

How often do you do things on repeat, do the same thing and then expect something different to happen. How often do you repeat the same instruction to your teams and then be frustrated when nothing changes. Understanding our own patterns of behaviours, our own learned behaviours are the catalyst for change. Addressing individual behaviours, our own patterns of behaviour nails how we approach all the things, whether in the workplace or in our personal lives. One impacts the other – it’s a symbiotic relationship. Sometimes we need to unlearn our patterns of behaviours to relearn new ways of approaching situations to get the best outcomes.

And then it comes down to habits, to systems of self, to processes of change.

Habits are the cornerstone of getting stuff done. Understanding your motivation drivers and then backing it up with discipline and consistency is the holy grail of supercharging a performance mindset. Nailing your habits, learning how to build develop and maintain healthy habits and you will breed consistency in your approach, create automatic behaviours and response systems to all the stuff that happens to us and, guess what, everything gets easier.

And consistency breeds trust, builds belief, supercharging ability.

I can’t recommend Sarah highly enough. In a world of “same old, same old” training courses that are so often all ‘fur coat and no knickers’, Sarah offers courses based on genuine knowledge. Each one enriched with realism, with humour and with her own examples from an envious CV working with and for some of the biggest brands in the UK. So for the skills to feel sane in an ever stranger world then Sarah really is the best in the business.

Sarah facilitated company-wide leadership-focussed workshops for our company. Sarah is highly engaging, knowledgeable and most importantly...funny! Colleagues of different ages and roles related to the content of the workshops, opening up and contributing to make the sessions enjoyable and inspiring.

What a fantastic start to the year.
We brought three of our graduate cohorts together into our London office. The day started with an insightful and motivational development day on the topic of ‘how to maximise your potential’ delivered by the wonderful Sarah Knight. The day involved plenty of activities and tasks that centred around goal-setting, strategic plan, self-efficacy and growth mindset.

Sarah can always be relied upon to have a big smile when I speak to her! Human and personable whilst professional with clients, I enjoy working with Sarah. Her energy is infectious, her enthusiasm contagious. She has done a number of fantastic workshops for my organisation and clients.
She is one of the ‘safe pair of hands’ I use frequently. She inputs great creative ideas to all discussions. I know my clients value her input and we always get great feedback after an event.
