Alcohol Is the Workplace Wellbeing Conversation Most Organisations Are Still Avoiding

Alcohol misuse is increasingly recognised as a root cause of many workplace psychosocial issues. It affects safety, productivity, decision-making, absenteeism and team culture. And yet most organisations address everything except this.

The people most affected are often not the ones anyone would suspect. They are high-functioning, senior, and performing at a level that hides the private cost. They are exactly the people your organisation cannot afford to lose.

Sarah works with organisations that are ready to start this conversation in a way that is normalising, non-preachy, and genuinely useful to the people in the room.

Sarah speaks at leadership conferences, workplace wellbeing days and corporate events across Australia. Her sessions are engaging, relatable and leave audiences with practical tools they can use immediately. Available in-person and online.

Workplace Wellbeing Workshops

Half-day and full-day workshops for teams and leadership groups. Designed to open up the conversation around alcohol, mental health and performance in a safe, shame-free environment.

What Clients Say

Sarah, You fill me with so much joy and hope. Words cannot express how I truly feel. Learning, listening and being heard in such a profound way from a person who is not only brilliant but genuinely cares about helping others has been a privilege as well priceless.
Anonymous Business Owner and Professional Sports Trainer.
Sarah is an incredible coach and a true master at what she does. I had tried many times in the past, on my own, to quit drinking. I had seen 2 different therapists. I also attended one AA meeting, which was a terrible experience. What sets Sarah apart from everyone else, and why her method has led to my success, is that she focuses on “life without alcohol.” Sarah has saved not only my life, but she has saved my family’s life.
AnonymousFitness Trainer
With a 30+ year career as an Entrepreneur and Author who has trained tens of thousands of people, and 100s of coaches I consider myself a very good judge of personal or group coaching ability and effectiveness. Sarah’s material is relevant, interesting and often profound. Her research into what is the latest and greatest in supporting positive change is continual. Sarah is very passionate about her coaching and is always focused on making a difference with her client. Some coaches, (and some of the most famous coaches), really want to hear themselves speak. In Sarah’s case there is true care and concern for the improvement and wellbeing of the client. I would highly recommend Sarah for individual or group coaching.

I have been off the booze for 4 months now and going strong. I feel it has finally clicked. I have attended every social event and faced all those “impossible” situations head on. I feel so good in myself and confident in who I am now, that I can’t imagine why I’d have wanted anything less for myself. It is such an incredible feeling and I just wanted to thank you immensely for being part of my journey, to get to this point. I am so grateful for your patience, compassion and deep empathy and care at a time when I truly hated myself. Thank you for the incredible gift of you.
