These humans are my heart. I want to make the world a better place and I'm willing to put in the work to accomplish that. Through sharing my gifts, and encouraging you to share yours, I can potentially change the trajectory of your life which will make this world a better place for my kids and for yours. We often take life for granted, we take our influence for granted, we take the love we give and receive for granted. I can only love those along my path, but that love, and their path may lead to you.

Light Consulting & Coaching exists to provide leaders the tools they need to identify their opportunities for growth, while providing the guidance necessary to reach their goals. Rooted in love; Light guides each individual toward reaching their maximum potential to live their best life.

"I saw that wisdom has as much profit over folly, as light has over darkness" - Ecclesiates 2:13

Our difference in approach is to only have business experts who have been in your shoes serving you. We focus on small groups and individualized coaching and training to ensure you are getting a life changing experience. We bring leadership back to our core value of love like Jesus.

Sarah has worked in the accounting and finance sector for over 15 years.  She has led teams and advised executives in the fields of finance, human resources, corporate structure and strategy.  She works with various businesses across the region ranging from real estate development and construction to banking and financial products. She also works with several nonprofits that are close to her heart, in Fargo-Moorhead. She lives in Moorhead with her husband and three children.
