Sarah Wissing
MSc in Career Management and Coaching
About Sarah
Sarah is an experienced career coach, who specialises in bringing awareness to dyslexia, and helping dyslexic clients flourish in the workplace.
Despite being discouraged on the grounds of her own dyslexia, she studied English and French at University, successfully completing a Masters in the former. In so doing, she proved the naysayers wrong but also came into direct contact with the negative attitudes dyslexic people face during their education and at work.
Early in her career, Sarah discovered a love of helping people achieve personal and professional growth. Consequently, she moved into HR, studying a CIPD qualification in HR Management and then an MSC in Organisational Psychology. She is currently completing her CIPD in Learning and Development and is also a Coaching Supervisor.
