About Sarah
I help leaders cut through complexity, see clearly, and move forward with confidence.
For 20 years, I’ve led strategic transformations, operational improvements, and leadership development for Fortune 500 companies, global brands, and high-growth businesses. My work bridges big-picture vision with the day-to-day execution that actually makes change stick.
I’m known for three things:
- Asking the questions others miss — and listening for what’s not being said.
- Turning ambiguity into actionable priorities.
- Bringing structure, calm, and momentum to high-stakes situations.
Through Parsons Coaching, I work with executives, founders, and leadership teams navigating growth, change, or messy in-between seasons. I created the IAES Method™ (I-ace) to give leaders a clear, actionable path forward. The name’s no accident — IAES helps you ace your goals while keeping your leadership sustainable.
I hold a BA in Organizational Communication, an MBA, and certifications as a Project Management Professional (PMP) and Associate Certified Coach (ACC) with the International Coaching Federation.
When I’m not coaching leaders or guiding strategy sessions, you’ll find me homeschooling my son, playing board games with my family, or unwinding by the pool under the Arizona sun.
What I Bring (Beyond the Résumé)
The letters matter, but only because they’re backed by real-world experience. I bring structure, sharpness, and grounded support — not a formula or a script.
