TRUE VOICE COACHING

“The one thing that you have that nobody else has is you. Your voice, your mind, your story, your vision. So write and draw and build and play and dance and live as only you can.” Neil Gaiman
There is a power within you when you are connected to your true self. Our voice allows us various ways to communicate with others and with ourselves. It gives us the power to be heard, understood and seen. It fuels our creativity, expression, confidence, courage and untapped potential. "Voice" has energy, tonality, and vibration that can be either resonant or dissonant. A dissonant voice can lead to self-doubt, fear, judgment, and shame. A resonant voice gives us the ability to repurpose our story and live out a vision that is more authentic, courageous and purposeful. This allows us to live with more intention and integrity while honoring our true values or, as I like to call it, our “True Voice”. Being curious about the various voices that exist in our life we have the ability to determine which of them give life to us and which of them hold us back. Awareness of our inner and outer voice opens us to be more authentic, courageous and purposeful in all we do. We feel more grounded, peaceful, and energetic.
My approach has helped people from all walks for life; students who are looking for direction, professionals who want to show up as leaders, those in transition, and anyone who wants to be their best selves. I want to enable you to find your unique and true voice so that you can live the life you were created for.
WHAT IS COACHING?
The journey to improve your self awareness, to uncover what obstacles may lie in your path, to develop a courageous identity, to unleash your potential and discover your life purpose, allowing you to design a life of wholehearted living and arrive at your desired destination.

About Me
Sarah Tesnjak - CPPC , ACC
Hi I'm Sarah, an American expat living and growing with my family in beautiful Switzerland. I would describe myself as a creative and curious seeker. I have been told that from as early as I could speak I was asking "why?". I have always desired to understand more and deepen my self understanding and learning.
As a singer, voice has played a major role in my life. It has given me a way of expressing emotions and often gave words and a tune to my story. I believe that performing has allowed me to connect to my courage and the depths of my spirit and soul. I value compassion, integrity, curiosity and learning. I believe that no part of who we are, and no part of our story will go wasted in the development of ourselves and our puropse.
My story has lead me to develop my purpose as a certified Co- Active Coach. I find great joy standing with individuals from all walks of the human experience and to partner with them on their journey of personal, professional, and spiritual growth.
My formal training is with The Coaches Training Institute, I am accredited with the ICF-International Federations of Coaches, and I have a certification with the International Lifesprings School Ministries for spiritual leadership and personal development. I have over 30 years of performance and directorial vocal experience, 15 years of leadership in both profit and non-profit arenas and personal experience in international transition and parenting.
MY MISSION
My mission is to develop heathy and trusting partnerships with my clients, to walk with you on your journey of personal, relational, spiritual and professional development. I am here to assist and support you in uncovering and discovering your values, inner strengths and your ultimate life purpose. I promise to hold you as naturally creative resourceful and whole, and completely capable of finding your own answers to whatever challenges you face. I will listen with curiosity, and hold whatever space that you need. I will challenge you with powerful questions and hold you accountable to your courage, bravery, power, clarity and convictions. I will encourage you to show the leader within you, step into your life with integrity and achieve your goals. I want to inspire you to become the best version of yourself that you can be. Daring you to find your unique voice and share it with the world.
"Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing the we'll ever do."

CLIENT EXPERIENCE
“After receiving only three coaching sessions from Sarah, I was equipped with all of the tools that I needed to be confident, deliberate, and dynamic in my sales presentations. So much so, that in only five months of working at my new company, in a new sales vertical, I have recorded nearly one million dollars in sales. Sarah took the time to get to know me and identify an approach that was tailored to my personality and push me beyond my comfort zone. I highly recommend Sarah’s coaching, voice lessons, and instruction for any sales person, sales leader, and business executives.”
Pete P. - CA, USA
Sarah really helped me through a transitional time in my life. I needed to find clarity around some decisions and found them out through her coaching which also allowed me to become more comfortable with my emotions (certainly not my strong suit, although I'm improving). This was so much more powerful than traditional therapy for me because we had specific items to address and activities for me to move forward. It really helped me get unstuck and allowed me to give a voice to my "captain" (inner guide - who turned out to be a goddess queen). When I catch myself slipping into old habits, I'm able to pull out my values list and identify more readily what's going on. I can't wait to see where my next sessions take me. I'm not going to say it will be easy because some of it wasn't, but it will definitely be worth it. I highly recommend Sarah, she truly has a gift for coaching and for helping to discern when to take steps and when to contemplate or sit with the information.You will never regret investing in yourself, by investing your time with her.

"Sarah made me stand on my table once. She made me feel like I was hugged, even though we were only skypeing. She had the courage to come inside my darkness, find my hand, hold it for a moment or two or even for a couple of months, until I was ready to hold hers back, and then she showed me that there was a light that was guiding me out of there. She didn't pretend for a moment to be my light; she also didn't only encourage me to find my own personal light, she encouraged me to open my eyes and see the light that was always there for me, and taught me how to make it my own. She pushed me and held me at the same time, she pushed herself and had the wisdom to see her own limitations. This is how I knew I could trust her, and how I know that you can trust her, too!"
Julia H. - Switzerland
"Over the years I had heard of life coaching but did not know what it fully entailed. This past year I signed up with Sarah and I’m very glad I did. For me, I was not looking for a therapist. I already know myself for the most part. So this was more for talking through what was already in my head by an outside skilled perspective. It was refreshing. I looked forward to every meeting. I learned things about myself that were there but I hadn’t brought them to light. I just left a job of 20 years and started nursing school. So alot has changed for me in my life in the last 6 months. It was a perfect time for me to have someone help to clarify in my life what was already there. I would definitely recommend this process to people who need life clarification."
Anna M. CA - USA
"Sarah was there when I really needed her to patiently and empathetically coach me through one of the most difficult times in my life. She started when I was near rock bottom and got me through it. I am eternally grateful for her patience and professionalism."
