Coaching & Training

Strategic growth for leaders ready to evolve—personally and professionally.

At Cypress Philanthropy, coaching goes beyond professional development. It's about leadership. It's about building a framework that reflects how the world actually works—not just how we wish it would.

Whether you're leading a team, navigating change in higher education, or managing competing goals, Sarah brings a rare ability to operate at both the macro and micro level. She sees the full system—and the hidden friction points—and helps create practical, high-performing solutions that stick.


What Makes Our Approach Different?

Strategic Listening

We are deeply attuned to what matters most and trained to hear the signals—both spoken and unspoken—and translate them into clear, actionable strategies.

Multi-Faceted Mastery

From development and advancement to business strategy and team dynamics, we know how to connect the dots. We build custom frameworks that drive clarity, accountability, and momentum.

Real-World Relevance

Cypress doesn’t just teach leadership—we practice it. Advocating for the team. Protecting their energy. Providing feedback that inspires action rather than fear. Our coaching honors both high performers and those still finding their rhythm.

Empathetic Team Leadership

People thrive when they feel seen and supported. We meet individuals where they are—offering insight, affirmation, and stretch goals that lead to growth. We coach with empathy and candor, creating a trusted space for honest conversations and lasting transformation.
