Humane Business Coaching
Hi there, I'm Sarah 👋🏽 I'm your 'Hippie turned Business Coach'
Let me guess, is this more or less what you want?
- A consistent flow of clients you love and who love you
- The freedom to say no to clients and projects that drain you
- Make more sales but skip the sales conversations 😉
- In the end, all you really want is to show up, make a difference & be happy!
But right now you’re not there yet...
- You are working too many hours for too little return
- You feel like you have no clear system for getting clients
- You need help with your branding, packaging and selling
- You wish someone else would do your marketing for you
- You feel alone in this entrepreneurial journey !
That’s where I come in…
I hold your hand and walk you from a state of overwhelm and frustration to serenity, clarity & success on your terms.
Let me share my business journey with you
I started my first business in 2008 and over a few years, built it into a ‘successful’ six-figure practice.
I’m putting successful in quotation marks because while it was successful from the outside looking in, it didn’t make me happy.
I felt like I just wasn’t meant for business.
All these online marketing techniques were just not aligned with my core values, the ones I grew up with: honesty, equality, integrity, truth, fairness etc.
"And then the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” - Anais Nin
Finally, in July 2018, I took off the mask, got completely honest and raw with myself and started to come full circle with my story (with the support of a therapist, a coach, a community and my soul-mate Tony aka the husband).
That story started off by growing up in a Hippie commune, hence the ‘Hippie turned Business Coach’.
It then lead me to my main mission which is to bring more empathy and kindness to the business world.
There are a few things that set me a part
Business wise…
😍 Care, focus, empathy, experience based on many failures, love, and knowledge of your industry.
😍 My clients like to work with me because I’m structured, focused, result oriented, ‘the real thing’.
😍 I’ve built a very profitable LinkedIn Coaching business which served over 2000 clients.
😍 I’ve created and sold hundreds of online products and live group & individual coachings.
😍 I’ve written two Amazon Bestselling books ‘Marketing Like We’re Human’ and ‘Selling Like We’re Human’.
😍 I’m now building a sustainable business I truly enjoy, based on what works – and most importantly what works for me!!!
Personality wise…
😎 I’m a non-conformist and do business my way
😎 I’m a card carrying introvert, and proud!
😎 I’m a Capricorn, Generator (Human Design), Type 4 (Enneagram), INFJ (Myers-Briggs) and HSP (Highly Sensitive Person)
😎 I’m like a mama bear: gentle but fierce! I do no harm, but take no shit. 🐻
😎 I’m extremely loyal and all my 1:1 clients become good friends.

Introducing 1:1 Humane Business coaching
If you would like the support of someone who has been where you are now, can hold the space for you, listen with empathy and hold your hand to gently guide you to live your full potential, so that you can make the money you want & do the work you love then here’s how we can work together…
Humane Business Coaching with me inlcudes:
🚩 6 x 60-MINUTE 1:1 SESSIONS: Every two weeks, we meet on Zoom. For one hour, we focus entirely on you and your goals and needs at that time. We address the BEING and the DOING. We wrap up with a to-do list to hold you accountable and keep you focused on the implementation.
🚩 3 MONTHS OF DIRECT SUPPORT and ACCESS: In between calls I have your back too – you can reach me via our private Trello Board or by sending me an Email. My clients often tell me that this is there favorite part because they never feel stuck. Whether this is mindset blockages or a question about your newsletter, it all matters!
🚩 REVIEWS OF YOUR WORK: As part of our mentoring agreement I will also review whatever you want me to look at: sales pages, LinkedIn posts, new program ideas & more (includes feedback, not editing & detailed proofreading).
🚩 ACCESS TO ALL MY ONLINE PROGRAMS: While my Humane Business Coaching is bespoke and not based on a cookie-cutter framework, you do also have full access to all my online programs: LinkedIn Profile Quick Fix, Authentic & Fair Pricing Mini-Course, Gentle Confidence Mini-Course as well as my flagship program ‘Marketing Like We’re Human’ with it’s 7Ps of Humane Marketing. I may recommend certain modules to you as the relevant topics come up in our sessions or you can go through all of them at your own pace. All programs include videos as well as accompanying worksheets/books.
🚩 MY COGNITIVE ENERGY BETWEEN OUR CALLS: I only work with three 1:1 clients at the time so I can reserve space in my brain for you even between our calls. During the time we work together I’ll constantly have your business on my mind, send you articles, come up with ideas and ping you whenever I think of you for something.

Sarah was the first business coach who encouraged me to not constantly do more but to actually do less and be more. I felt seen and heard as a whole being and the work with Sarah is a collaboration and co-creation and much more than a business coaching.”
I hear you...
I know, this is a big investment!
And there’s always the ‘chicken and the egg’ story… 🐓
You need more money in order to afford a coach, but working with a coach is the fastest way to get your business to the next level.
It took me years to invest in 1:1 support. I boostrapped for way too long, attended all the webinars, invested in cookie-cutter online courses and ended up wasting a lot of time.
And when I finally worked with my first coach the investment felt HUGE!
But it also felt SOO good! I finally said ‘YES!’ to myself. Paying that invoice immediately gave me a confidence boost!
Since then, I’m always working with some kind of coach. Whether it is for my inner work, or working on my business, I’ve come to truly understand the value of having a sounding board and someone at your side that has walked on your path before you.
Your analytical mind feels scared right now and I understand.
But you got this!
And I promise you that as a result of our collaboration you will grow, your confidence will increase, you will gain a new perspective.
This is the journey of upleveling your business.
And in case your left brain is yelling ‘Growing is nice. But I need to grow my income too!!’.
I hear you!
And while I’m not the person to make any income promises, I can assure you that time and time again I’ve seen it happen with my clients: after the person grows, the business grows.
I’d be honored to be your gentle guide!

Just so you know, you’ll be redirected to my sarahsantacroce.com site. Still me, different site.
The three months we were together were intense and I will be doing another three months with Sarah soon as the time spent with her helped me leap frog to the next level with my business.
Sarah is very articulate, understands a vast amount with respect to running your own business besides being an expert marketer. She has access to a plethora of resources, is dedicated to her clients, over delivers and is just a fun, kind person to work with. You feel good after your sessions and she is firm enough to keep you on track. A good investment for any business.”

Yes! You can pay monthly.
If you need to pay over a longer period, I may be able to extend the plan further. Let’s just have a human conversation about it.
While I do believe in the value I provide and feel that I’ve come up with a price that displays that value, I’m also aware that everyone’s situation is different and I’m more than happy to have a human(e) conversation about my fees in order to find a solution and compromise that works for both of us.
So please see my price as indicative but don’t let that hold you back from contacting me.
If I can arrange it, I also like to offer semi-private coaching as a budget-friendly alternative.
Because I bring all of me to my marketing I attract clients who are thoughtful and considerate and often worry about bothering me too often.
But in this 1:1 mentoring package there is no such thing as ‘bothering me’.
I take care of my own boundaries: I take weekends off if I want to, and I usually turn off my phone after dinner (I do get bored while cooking though, so you can definitely catch me then😋) . I’ll also let you know if I think your emails or messages need to wait until the next call. Do keep in mind that I’m based in Europe, so if you are in the US, that means that when you get up it’s already my afternoon. It has never been a problem for my clients. In fact they like that they wake up to an email from me!
In other words there is no limit to how often you can contact me!
This is exactly what this 1:1 package is about! And the reason why I’m only working with three 1:1 clients at the same time!
- You are a passionate entrepreneur
- Your business is established (0.5 – 5 years, or more), you already have clients, but you’d like to get even more, even better clients
- You are in the service business
- You are looking for accountability and guidance
- You are ready to do the work & invest in your business
- You’re an all-round nice person. I only work with nice people
I invite you to book a free 30 minute Clarity Call using the button below (with zero pressure) & we’ll make sure we’re a good fit together before moving forward.
I’ll be asking questions about you and your business, apply my empathy & listening skills, and at the end of the call, I will make recommendations for next steps: either we mutually agree to work together or I can point you in other directions, give you links to valuable resources etc.
I’m not using any sales script, it’s literally a conversation between two humans
