Sarah Decker - Career Transition and Business Coach, Virtual/Anywhere

ABOUT HER

I'm a career and business coach for high-achieving women who are done pretending the next job will fix it. You built a great career, and you still have a nagging feeling this isn't "it." You're successful but unfulfilled, and you've started asking what you actually want.

That's where we start: What would your dream career look like?

Ten years into my own career, I quit the job I'd worked hard to get and bet on myself. Since then I've grown a tutoring company past seven figures and coached 100+ women through the space between the career they built and the one they want. For some, that's a bold pivot or a role that doesn't exist yet. For a lot of them, it turns out to be a business of their own.

I work in two tracks. Career Coaching is for women who know something has to change but can't see what yet. Business Coaching is for women building their own thing who want someone in their corner who has done it.

I'm a Certified Professional Coach, a mom of two, based in MetroWest, and the host of _I Hate My Job! Now What?_

The Founder's Note

"What I love about Sarah is that she makes room for you to figure out what you actually want next. Whether you’re considering a career change, navigating a job search, or feeling ready for something different but unsure what, she’s an incredible coach to have in your corner. And a fun plot twist? She also helps women start and grow their own businesses! She’s made that leap herself, and I love that she brings both the encouragement and the practical guidance to help you move forward."

Favorite way to unwind
A long walk with a podcast, audiobook, or on the phone with a friend.
Morning routine must-haves
Hot coffee in a hand made mug, a journal, and half an hour of quiet when at all possible in my otherwise chaotic but happy household.
Current obsession
Enjoying all that is possible in this phase of parenting as a mom of boys who are 7 and 10! Traveling as a family, having new experiences together, and supporting them as they grow and develop their ever evolving personalities.

If you're a mom who works outside the house who has been feeling stuck, restless, or wondering "does my career still fit who I am now?", this workshop was made for you. This 90-minute career workshop with certified career coach Sarah Decker is a space to begin naming what's actually happening and to begin exploring what might be next for you. Whether you’re actively considering a career change or simply noticing the desire for something more, this session offers a supportive and low-pressure way to start the process. The woman who left for maternity leave is not the same woman going (or who went) back. There's a real identity shift that happens when you become a mother, and almost no one is talking about what that means for your career. Not only the logistics of juggling parenting and working. The deeper thing: who you are now, what you actually want, and whether the work you were doing before still fits the person you are now. Whether you're heading back from leave and dreading it, already back and not quite landing right, or simply noticing that something feels off... this session is designed for exactly where you are. Through guided reflection, simple exercises, and honest group conversation, Sarah will help you: Get language for the identity shift that not enough people are naming Begin to reconnect with who you are professionally, right now Uncover early clues about what you actually want next Leave with one clear, true next step — not a to-do list, a direction This workshop is intentionally designed to be accessible, welcoming, and energizing. Come as you are, whether you’re feeling clear, confused, hopeful, or all three.
