What if leading could feel more intentional?

You know what it’s like to hold it all together - the pressure, the plates spinning, the constant rhythm of leadership.

The Growth Collective is a 6-week group coaching programme for ambitious hospitality and retail leaders who want more clarity, more confidence, and a little more space to breathe.

You’ll learn how to lead with clarity, build habits that last, make confident decisions, and show up as the leader you truly want to be.

Our Framework: Real Growth, Not Fluff

At the heart of the programme is this rhythm:

➤ Act → Reflect → Review → Plan

This isn’t just a model. It’s a leadership practice.
You’ll come back to it again and again - in the programme, and long after it ends.

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
