You already know how to lead others.
The Growth Collective helps you strengthen your leadership foundations – so you can lead yourself, your teams, and your future with more ease, impact, and energy.

Grow your leadership career in a way that feels aligned, energised and sustainable

The next intake starts 3rd June

Who is it for?

You’ve worked incredibly hard to build your leadership career – balancing high standards, team demands, and operational challenges every single day.

But leadership isn’t meant to leave you running on empty.

The Growth Collective is coaching-led leadership development experience for hospitality operations leaders who want to grow their impact, their career and their confidence – without sacrificing their wellbeing along the way.

If you’re ready to step into a leadership style that feels fully aligned with your strengths and values, you’re in the right place.

Challenges We’ll Tackle Together

In hospitality leadership, the challenges are real and relentless. The Growth Collective is designed to help you move past them:

Feeling stuck in old patterns: It can feel impossible to shift habits or inspire true growth – for yourself or your team – when you're firefighting daily demands.

Leading reactively, not proactively: You’re constantly solving problems, but finding space to create opportunities feels out of reach.

Sacrificing wellbeing for success: The long hours, the constant pressure – it’s easy to forget your leadership journey matters too.

Finding difficult conversations draining: Whether managing upwards or leading your team, navigating tricky situations takes real skill.


These challenges don’t mean you’re not a great leader. They mean you’re ready for the next level of growth – and support.

Meet Your Coach

Sarah Clark, leadership coach for hospitality and retail in London, UK with brown hair and black sweater against a light background.

I’m Sarah, founder of Nine Yards Coaching and the Growth Collective.

After 30 years leading hospitality operations – from small teams to multi-site groups – I know exactly what it feels like to hold huge responsibility without always having the space, support, or energy you need to thrive.

The Growth Collective was created because I believe hospitality leaders deserve more.
More support. More space for growth. More energy to lead sustainably – and more joy along the way.

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

  • 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.

    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

  • "I’d recommend Sarah to anyone who is feeling stuck and in a bit of inertia, and also to those who have a bit of an idea of what they want to do next but just not sure how to get to that next stage"
