Hi! I’m Sara Peña
I’m an Associate Certified Coach with the International Coach Federation, the global standard in professional coaching. This means I’ve met the experience, training, and quality requirements to be designated as a professional coach. I’ve been coaching since 2017, when I completed the University of California, Davis Coaching for Work and Life Program. Over the last 15 years I’ve worked in a variety of settings, from public to small business to multinational. I have a business degree from California State University, Chico and a MBA from California State University, Sacramento.
I spend my days working as an HR Business Partner and an internal leadership coach for a local not for profit that’s consistently recognized as a best place to work. I serve as a trusted partner in helping leaders with their people strategy, engagement, culture, change, and communication that support teams to deliver bottom line results.
I’m passionate about coaching because I see it get results and change people more than any other learning and development solution. To stand alongside someone as they move from a place of burn-out, stuck, clouded, and hopeless to energized, confident, and clear is simply amazing.
I live in Sacramento and am a California native. I love our rivers, beaches, mountains, abundance of fresh produce, and progressive mindset.
