You have the drive and determination to make it happen, but need some help getting started. Or maybe you’ve lost your motivation altogether? Wherever you are in your journey, we’re here to help.


Pivot Coaching works with mid-career professionals who are seeking to change the course of their career. We provide guidance and support to help people rediscover themselves and identify new opportunities that better fit their aspirations, skills and priorities.

What is Career Coaching, and do I need it?

If you identify with any of the following, career coaching might be a good option for you.

Career coaching can be a valuable tool for anyone looking to find clarity about their next career move. It can help people take back control of their future by exploring their strengths, interests and personalities, and by clarifying out what makes them happy at work.

“Where do I even start?”

You’ve tried different jobs, roles, and careers but nothing feels quite right. You’re tired of trying to figure it out on your own and you’re looking for some some support and guidance.

“I want more meaning.”

You have a ‘good’ job but it isn’t fulfilling you. You want to love your work and have a bigger impact. But you don’t know what else is out there for you.

“I’ve stagnated in my role.”

You’re well into your career and it’s starting to feel stagnant. You’re wondering whether to continue in it or find something new. The stakes are high and you want to make the right move.

Hi, I’m Sarah Bateman.

When I began my career in HR over 20 years ago, I could never have imagined the changes I’d see within the workforce, across industries, in such a short space of time.

After working with hundreds of people seeking change, I believe that career change is a logical part of growing and developing professionally. Though Pivot Coaching, I focus on working with mid-career professionals who want to find a new direction, and need support to help them find what that is.

I offer a practical, no-nonsense approach to career change and development. Think of me like that direct, honest and loyal friend that you need to give you the direction and encouragement to pivot your career with clarity and confidence.

So, let’s make a plan.

Together we can find a new direction for your future career. When the time comes to make a move, you’ll know exactly what to do next. Our cornerstone Career Pivot Program works like this:

  • Start with goals

    We’ll start by reviewing where you’re at and why and how you can start to move forward, along with setting your goals for the program.

  • Discover who you are

    Understanding what makes you unique from everyone else will allow you to be clear on what will make you happy. Together we will work through your strengths, values and interests.

  • Vision

    We’ll ask the hard questions of you, around what you really want in your career and life, and from there design your career vision.

  • Matchmaking

    We’ll teach you our Blue Sky Thinking techniques to map out a range of career ideas, and then how to test those ideas out.

  • Action Stations

    Finally, we’ll create a plan to bring these to fruition. You’ll leave with clarity, confidence and a list of actions to continue your journey.

  • Sophie

    I will always remember my experience with Pivot Coaching as a significant cross-road in my working life. Since doing my sessions with Sarah I have a whole new perspective on my skills, my strengths, and how to enhance these so I can carve out a career that fills my cup (rather than draining it!). I have recommended this experience to everyone and anyone that stands still long enough for me to tell them about it!

  • Bec

    Sarah's ability to listen and provide constructive, useful feedback was invaluable in enabling me to seek relevant opportunities out (in the most effective and efficient way) and ultimately land my current role, which I love!

  • Matthew

    I gained a lot of invaluable insights from my sessions with Sarah and the homework and resources provided. I really appreciated Sarah’s support and advice throughout our time working together. Thank you so much.

  • Andrew

    Sarah was such a pleasure to work with from the first initial meetings to achieving our final outcomes. She was extremely concise and transparent in our regular catch ups but also showed such care in wanting to attain the best for my situation. She is a true professional in the career coaching field and don’t look any further if you are thinking of a pivot in your career

  • Bianca

    The coaching program with Sarah has been the best decision I made this year. I have done a full 180 since last December and I feel so grateful that I was in a position to be able to engage Sarah. Beforehand I felt a bit aimless and like every career move I made did not have any intention and now I feel like I have a vision for myself and a path.
