Sarah Barkwill
"Where strategy meets sass—bold coaching for bold women ready to own their success and thrive."
I’m Sarah Barkwill, and I’m here to help you cut through the chaos, own your brilliance, and build a business (and life) that doesn’t just work but thrives. With over 20 years of leadership experience - including running my own HR Consulting business - and working with teams across finance, sales, and production, I know what it takes to make things happen. I’ve coached everyone from fresh-faced rookies to seasoned CEOs—and I’m ready to help you, too.
What I Bring to the Table
I’m not your cookie-cutter coach. My superpower is finding solutions where others see roadblocks. I’ve built a thriving consulting business, navigated the complexities of change management, and tackled challenges across every corner of business. Whether it’s leading through transformation, streamlining operations, or getting your team to actually talk to each other, I bring the expertise (and a no-nonsense attitude) to get results.
Coaching with a Twist
Here’s the deal—I’m not here to sugarcoat things or give you vague pep talks. I’ll remind you of what you already have, show you how to tap into it, and push you to think bigger. For women in business, I know the juggling act you face daily. My coaching helps you embrace your power, prioritize what matters, and find balance without losing momentum.
Think of me as your strategy-loving, truth-telling cheerleader. We’ll create a plan that’s not just practical but completely tailored to your goals. Success? You’re in the driver’s seat. I’m here to help you navigate the road (and avoid the potholes).
Why Work With Me?
I get it—business is personal. And I’m here to help you make it work for you. Whether you’re just starting out, scaling up, leading through challenges, or just trying to figure out how to have fewer meetings, I’ll help you cut the fluff and focus on what really moves the needle.
Fun Facts (Because Life’s More Than Work)
- I’m a single mom who juggles entrepreneurship, life, and parenting like a pro (most of the time, but don’t ask my kids).
- I started horseback riding again after a 34 year break! It’s taught me two things: hard things can always be done, and falling off is just part of the process.
- Coffee is my love language, and I’m always trying to hack my morning routine (unsuccessfully, but I keep trying).

Happy Customer Feedback About Working With Sarah Barkwill
Sarah's ability to analyze a problem and to provide practical and sound solutions for her clients was impressive.
Franca Fargione
I worked closely with Sarah for two years during which she provided our organization valuable HR consulting and support. Sarah was reliable, professional and thoughtful in her approach to small and large projects alike, and a pleasure to work with.
Aura Molnar
VP Business Operations
Sarah is extremely detail oriented and brought a lot of knowledge to the table in multiple functional areas. She is dedicated to being a strong Business Partner and is consistently focused on the best outcomes for the business. She brought many creative ideas to the table and challenged our team to do the same.
Nadia Chamberlain
HR Manager
Sarah’s outgoing personality was a hit with clients. She connected with them very quickly, building credibility and trust with them after only a few interactions.
Kerri Knox
HR Leader
Prior to working with Sarah, our business was struggling to keep up with project and change management initiatives due to a lack of strong leadership and a change resistant team. Sarah and her team helped us overcome these issues with ease. Obtaining extra support from a company like Sarah’s to support those business initiatives that matter most, can be the most lucrative investment a leader makes.
Tom Martin
HR Generalist
Our company was seeing explosive growth in a short period of time; the challenges that came with it quickly grew beyond what we could handle on a routine basis. Eyes on HR was a big help in providing policy creation, best practices, and internal documents for future situations we hadn’t even considered.
Remi Ryel
Director of People & Culture
Sarah’s services are extremely valuable for protecting the company and its employees, and the solutions she provides are perfectly tailored to our business in a way that is accessible and flexible when we need them to be.
