Are you a knackered
public sector leader?
do you want to avoid burnout and create enough midlife mojo to lead with passion or leave with a plan?
Rated 5 Stars – Based on 100+ Client Reviews
I have worked in and with the public sector for over 30 years, so I get it. I understand exactly why you love it and are so loyal to it. I also get the knackering frustration of trying to do your best, and lead others, in a never-ending cycle of reorganisation, in a system that feels broken at times.

Time to think about what you want to do now, next or never?
Time to think about what you want to do now, next or never?
Midlife feels like a collision of doing your biggest job, spinning all the home and family plates, wondering what new delights menopause will bring today. You are struggling to work out if this is “it” and if so, is this the “it” that you want to keep doing for another 20 years.
I know that you often feel like you are simply surviving, putting one foot in front of the other, putting off all that living until you’ve reached the bottom of your inbox, just finished this report, sent one more message, finished one last Teams meeting.
That nagging niggle about whether now is the time to get that new job, start that hobby, think about that business you always thought you’d set up, the book you always said you’d write. Just as soon as you have a nanosecond to give it some thought and spend some time focused on you for a change.
I founded Sarah Clein Consultancy and Coaching to help public sector leaders like you create enough midlife mojo to lead better in your current job or to leave well and find something new to do, whether that’s a different job or planning for life beyond work.

When are You Waiting for?
When are You Waiting For?
Do you feel like you’re merely surviving rather than thriving?
Do you have exhaustion that you just can’t shake off but can’t give up because too many people rely on you?
Does your mind get into a muddle for tasks and decisions that you used to breeze through?
Have you lost sight of what joy in life looks like because you’re too busy caring for others?
Is your job demanding so much of you that you can't hear your own thoughts anymore?
Are you longing for change but feeling frightened by thoughts of uncertainty and guilt?
You’ve dedicated your life to doing all the thinking about all the things and ensuring that those around you are happy and content. Now, it’s time that you did something for you.
