Testimonials

More Vibrant At Work

“Sarah has been an inspirational advisor and coach to Fingleton. She has a perception about people and an ability to suggest change in a way that makes the listener see it as a gift they longed for (even if they had not realised it).”

— John Fingleton, Fingleton

The Vibrant Company is unlike any training company we have ever worked with and Sarah is the best ‘unsticker’ I have ever come across. I have been lucky enough to be supported by coaches throughout the course of my career, but nothing compares to her approach. She cuts straight to the heart of it, shows you that you have resilience beyond anything you could have imagined and helps you get out of your own way – when you didn’t even know you were in it!
— CEO, London-based multi-national
 

“Sarah provided a very safe non-judgemental space in which to work through our biggest challenges. She really understood whatever I brought to each session and was able to cut through and get to the nub of what we needed to discuss. Her use of examples and her own experiences brought points to life and helped me grasp concepts. 

I feel she handed me the power to create my own energy and narrative in any scenario and this has been game-changing.”

— Sophie McCarthy, Founder, Lionbridge PR


Thank you to The Vibrant Company for a wonderful and incredibly productive leadership day. It’s been our best so far.
— Sonia Chatwal, The DHL Foundation
We engaged Sarah and The Vibrant Company to support the development of our account management team. Their approach does not follow the ‘standard’ training model! The feedback from the team has been overwhelmingly positive and our new way of working has begun.
— David King, Managing Director, London Letterbox Marketing
I just wanted to say a huge thanks for your ‘An Easier Way To…increase resilience” session. It was such a useful talk with tons of clever techniques/takeaways and so unique to any other training I’ve seen on this topic. We will be posting the recording on our system for everyone to watch.
— Laura Roberts, Marketing Director, Hanover Communications
 

“Today’s “An Easier Way to…” session was brilliant. It should be mandatory training for all of us in the company. 

I think I’ve been grappling towards some of the tips/hacks but it’s super helpful to have a framework like that and to understand the science behind it too.”

— Senior Account Director, International Consulting Firm

“Leadership training, but not as we know it. We were amazed at how much ground we covered in a relatively short space of time and the way The Vibrant Company explains it makes it immediately practical and easy to remember. Thank you!”

— Leadership Team, DB Schenker UK

 
I saw Sarah at an exciting but also daunting time – when our organisation was making a significant transition. With Sarah’s help, I was able to confront some barriers that I had unconsciously and unnecessarily put up and which were hindering my ability to move forward and achieve my goal. Sarah truly is VIBRANT and has an extraordinary ability to pass this on to her clients. Her coaching has enabled the breakthrough we needed and has been incredibly helpful to me personally and to our practice as a whole.
— Dr Stephen Kem, Managing Partner
Sarah’s calm clear approach has been brilliant at advancing individual professional development as well as helping me and others in my business think through strategic and immediate challenges. Conversations with Sarah usually end up with one of those ‘thank you, I’d not thought of that before’ moments…..!
— Andrew Harrison, Group Managing Director, Hanover Communications
 

Sarah’s support, advice and coaching has become literally invaluable to us as a leadership team. The impact has been hugely beneficial to our business and also to me as a person – both professionally and personally. We would not want to be without her!

— Managing Director, Consumer Communications Consultancy

 
Through some really challenging months, Sarah’s coaching sessions were unbelievably helpful. In fact, they were transformational for me and have had a lasting effect. I am genuinely more productive, happier and calmer and changed for the better.
— Neil Crump, Joint CEO of Aurora Communications and Founder of BOB Healthcare
 
Our challenge as a small IT consulting business was to help equip our technologists with the conversational tools and confidence they need to engage clients in discussions that could lead to new opportunities. Sarah brought a combination of a clear method and great communication skills to the task, engaging positively with a diverse multinational team, and making a real impact on everyone she met. As well as refocussing our people on the importance of business relationships, Sarah’s time with out team helped her develop real insight into our business, which she used to good effect by helping our leadership team understand some of the challenges we will need to address as we progress to the next stage in our rapid growth trajectory.
— Neville Howard, Executive Chairman, Marionete

 More Vibrant In Life

“I can’t believe how much lighter I feel in such a short amount of time. I feel more confident than I have ever done. I did not think this version of me was even possible.”

— Hannah L

 

“Thank you, thank you! I wasn’t expecting such an insightful and helpful session - you are a magician. The clarity you have, and the ability to cut to the core of the issue is a real gift. I cannot wait to take my new perspective into real life and see how transformative I suspect it might be. I know I have to do the work to see results, but I now feel completely up for the challenge.”


— Emma G

 
Joining your course on navigating conflict has honestly been one of the best things I’ve ever done. It has literally changed my life in a way I could never have imagined was possible. I was curious myself about how it would work, but it really is a brilliant mix of live, targeted workshop and also useful general content. Also the loveliest people to be linked with - it feels completely safe, nurturing and quite special really.
— Hannah D
 
I simply cannot stress how transformative this course has been for me. I would not have said I was a big worrier, but I did always have so much to think about. There didn’t seem to be any alternative because I had so much to do. The mind-less-ness approach is a true wonder. I now have less to think about AND I am making a lot more progress. I am so much happier, Thank you.
— Amy M
Sarah Mathew is a brilliant and gifted coach. A treasure much needed in the world. I learned to accept that I can’t change the world but I can shift my state of mind. In fact, it’s the one and only thing I can do. Yet, it is the most powerful thing that can and will change the world. Sarah Mathew is a catalyst for change. She is that unique person that you want in your corner as you move through this heartfelt and sometimes painful experience we call life.
— Usha
 

I attended a 6-week online course with Sarah as part of a small group looking at managing conflict. The course was a mixture of discussion and Sarah sharing her wealth of experience and insight with us, with particular focus on examples and situations that the group brought to tackle.  I found it stimulating and inspirational and Sarah challenged my way of thinking in a number of ways, particularly around how I respond to others and handle tricky situations.

Sarah's delivery of the programme was superb, she is warm and approachable and is full of ideas and examples. She is able to challenge you to think differently about how you operate in a positive and supportive way. I felt I learnt a great deal in a short period of time and made some great connections in the process.
