Escape the Reactive Leadership Trap:

Develop the Clarity, Confidence and Systems to Lead Strategically in Just 8 Weeks

Are you constantly putting out fires instead of leading strategically? Trapped in day-to-day operations when you know you could be making a bigger impact? In Growth Collective, our 8-week group coaching programme, you will develop sustainable leadership habits and mindset shifts to address the reactive patterns that keep you trapped in day-to-day operations, helping you reclaim your time and lead with confidence and clarity.

Who This Programme Is For?

Growth Collective is specifically designed for hospitality and retail leaders who:

• Feel trapped in reactive management patterns

• Know they have more to offer as a leader but struggle to find time for strategic thinking

• Are committed to personal and professional growth

• Value both achieving results and maintaining personal wellbeing

• Are open to examining and shifting limiting mindset patterns

• Are ready to implement new approaches and be accountable for their growth

The Growth Collective Experience: Reclaiming Your Leadership

Where you are now: As a leader in hospitality, you're constantly juggling responsibilities. There's never enough time to focus on your own growth, let alone lead others effectively. You often feel stuck in a fixed mindset, unable to break free from old ways of thinking, and struggle to maintain consistent habits. Your well-being takes a backseat as you push through long days, leaving you drained, unfulfilled, and unsure of how to create lasting change.

Where you’ll be: Imagine leading with confidence, clarity, and purpose. Picture having the time and energy to focus on both your own development and supporting your team's growth. You approach challenges with a growth mindset, embracing new possibilities and continuously improving. Your habits are aligned with your goals, and your well-being is no longer compromised. You're not just a leader; you're a role model, inspiring your team to achieve their fullest potential, all while creating a thriving work culture.

The Bridge: Growth Collective is your 8-week journey from overwhelm to inspired leadership. Through our carefully designed programme combining group coaching, personalised support, and implementation guidance, you'll develop the mindset, habits, and clarity needed to transform your leadership approach and reclaim your time.

Sarah Clark

Founder, Nine Yards Coaching & Creator of The GROWTH Collective

With 30 years in hospitality leadership, I’m an operator through and through. Before founding Nine Yards Coaching, I was Managing Director of a start-up bar and restaurant group for 7 years. Prior to that, I worked with a variety of companies, from pubs to sandwich shops.

I’ve helped build others' businesses and led my own, but still felt something was missing. The irony is that I already had the answers, just wasn’t sure how to move forward.

My commitment to growth comes from the impact great coaches had on me, helping me navigate uncertainty and my next step. Becoming a qualified and accredited Executive Coach deepened my passion for supporting leaders, driven by the belief that everyone has the ability to be extraordinary.

Some Kind Words

  • "I loved having an hour each week to step out of work and into a space with brilliant coaches and others in the industry. It gave me space to think, connect, and show up better. Being able to speak with people outside my usual work bubble made a real difference - and the focus on mindset, self-reflection, and diary blocking has already shifted how I lead.”

    Georgie Parrott, Hawksmoor

  • "If you’re a hospitality/retail leader, partnering up with Sarah is your ultimate power move"

    Sigita Gliozere, Caprice Holdings

  • "From day one, Sarah and Michelle created a space that felt safe and engaging. The group work really stood out — connecting with others and realising I wasn’t alone in the challenges I was facing. The biggest shift is that I feel more grounded and supported. The structure and accountability made real progress possible. I’m so glad I joined."

    Helen Hayward, Thunderbird Chicken

  • "The experience with Sarah has been absolutely fabulous. To receive encouragement, challenge, and questions to trigger inner reflections has been refreshing, incredibly interesting and insightful."

    Jan Roberts, Belu Water

  • "The Growth Collective was a great experience, with support from like minded people and coaches. It boosted my confidence, helped me realise I still have a place in hospitality, and kept me accountable. I’ve been able to apply coaching techniques to my own practice. It’s a safe, inclusive space where you’re supported and encouraged to grow. It feels like having a group of cheerleaders in your pocket."

    Michelle Righini, We Recover Loudly

  • “What stood out most with Growth Collective was the passion that Sarah and Michelle have for the hospitality industry. The programme helped me manage my time better and reminded me - through hearing others’ experiences - that everyone works in a unique way, which is such a valuable insight. One breakthrough for me was addressing an issue by having a difficult conversation, something I may not have done on my own. The sense of community throughout the programme was awesome. It made a real difference to feel so supported and connected."

    Tobie-Anna Durk, Kelly’s Cause

  • "The Growth Collective came along at just the right time. I was feeling stuck and not getting the best from myself in my work, but the programme really helped me regain my confidence and energy. The group coaching was surprisingly valuable, offering fresh perspectives and practical tools from others in the hospitality industry. I’m now looking at my work with fresh eyes, thanks to the insights and tools I gained. It’s made a real difference to how I approach challenges."

    Sam Stratford, Limin Beach
