be BOLD in the face of change.

“In past org shifts I’ve felt passive, powerless, and stranded. But this time around, Jen, Sara, and the Power Shift community and resources are helping me find the places I do have power: to support and hold space for the people around me [and] to share my vision for how I’d like to show up as a leader.”

—Allison Huang, product and service design lead

“Active Voice has been an invaluable addition to our learning and development program. The sessions are tailored to our challenges and continuously informed by feedback. Each session is immediately relevant and highly applicable… We can’t recommend Active Voice enough.”

—Jess Greco, VP, Mastercard

“Power Shift transformed my approach to leadership. Thanks to Jen and Sara’s coaching, I pushed through my self-limiting beliefs as an immigrant to uncover the kind of leader I am. I now lead with a stronger sense of clarity and trust in my own values.”

—Tiffy Riel, product manager

“At my last review, my manager praised me for delegating and giving others the opportunity to step up and grow. This is the first time I've been recognized for doing less instead of more! Sara’s coaching helped me learn how to better prioritize, focus on the most impactful activities, and let go of custody of problems.”

—Mariné Palamutyan, UX research manager

“As a direct result of my participation, I am a more confident and concise communicator at work, as an author, and even in my personal interactions. I can’t say enough about how impactful this experience has been for me!”

—Natalie Dunbar, principal content designer

“The supportive (and fun!) community and strong, empathetic guidance from Sara and Jen have inspired me to embrace my authentic leadership style. I feel much more clear about my values and how I will stay true to them.”

—Shani Jayant, principal designer and researcher

“Active Voice gave me space to be vulnerable and find not just affirmation in my experiences, but support and feedback to help me grow and better navigate my professional life. I gained a lot of perspective with Sara and our group about where my inner critic comes from and how to stand up to it.”

—Theo Karatzas, content design manager

“I can’t express enough gratitude for Sara and Jen’s approach to coaching managers to become transformative leaders… I was immediately able to take what I learned and start having the authentic conversations I always wanted to have, but felt too awkward to initiate.”

—Jake Mitchell, product design manager

“The most valuable result of the Active Voice group for me was the shift in mindset. I went in thinking that I was going to learn how to be a leader, but left knowing that I needed to trust the leader I already was.”

—Niveen Sayeed, founder and research leader

“Team Up is one of the most immediately useful trainings I’ve taken as a leader... Whether you’re managing others or leading cross-functionally, this training offers practical, thoughtful techniques for building trust, coaching with confidence, and navigating conflict with greater clarity and ease.”

—Gemma Petrie, principal researcher, Mozilla

“This small but mighty team of coaches helped me move through burnout, coming out the other side with powerful tools for empowered leadership and self-actualization. If I could shout it from the rooftops, I’d encourage everyone to take a program or get some one-on-one coaching from Sara and Jen.” 

—Angie King, head of content

“I feel less anxious when I’m thinking about my work—especially in the context of what’s happening in my domain now. There are a lot of things that I internalized as my fault… thinking about my inner critic and my strengths in a more objective way has been really helpful in terms of figuring out what’s fiction and what’s not, and learning to be kinder to myself.”

—Asia Hoe, senior product designer

“Sara and Jen provided a well-structured and safe space to not only learn in, but also practice our new skills as we went along. I’m now less likely to jump in and fix a problem if my team come to me and instead have the skills and tools to better help them find their own answers. It’s been a rewarding and productive shift!”

—Rachel Caldwell, content design lead

“The number one thing I got out of the program was the realization that I don’t need to prove my worth…I have inherent value, and all I need to do is be myself. This realization significantly reduced the burden of overthinking that is inherent to me. I feel like life is much lighter now and less stressful.” 

—Taís Lessa, senior product designer

“The most impactful thing from the program was figuring out my own point of view and that it’s okay to take up space, live louder, and be yourself.”

—Jonathan Stephens, fractional product leader

“Without a doubt the best online course I've ever taken. The coursework is relevant and practical, and I was able to apply the techniques immediately. As a seasoned manager looking for opportunities to grow and coach my team, this was the perfect co-pilot.”

— Michaela Hackner, senior UX director
