I have worked with Sarah one- on-one and in group settings and watched her navigate the often delicate and tense situations that can arise from having people from many backgrounds trying to build a better and more inclusive workplace. Sarah’s approach to coaching and DEI work is to meet individuals where they are without judgement. This created an environment of trust and openness that wouldn’t have worked without her guidance.
​
During our coaching sessions Sarah helped me learn about proven methods for improving my management and creating actionable steps to improve performance. She also helped me to become a more empathetic and understanding manager and person. In turn this allowed me to become a better manager for my teams and help them reach individual and collective goals more successfully. Sarah is particularly adept at learning an organization and its pain points and then tailoring her work to help push past challenges that inhibit growth. I really enjoyed our time together and enthusiastically recommend working with her.​

Simply put, Sarah is a very skilled coach. She has a natural gift at gaining trust, providing a safe space for people to be introspective, and listening to a persons lived experience so that she can offer sage advice.
​
Her ability to connect with people from across various dimensions of diversity (e.g., socioeconomic, racial, sexual orientation) and at all levels (e.g., a company founder, Board Chair, C-Suite exec, or individual contributor) is her superpower.

While at The Atlantic, I worked with Sarah for individual coaching and together we established an Allyship Team. She has supported my personal development, shaped my management style and helped me navigate complex professional situations. I enjoyed my experience with her so much that I chose to work with her again for coaching when I changed to a new company. I’ve seen her build trust and respect throughout The Atlantic, and she continues to be a valuable resource as I move to a new organization.
She possesses a deep tool bench with resources and frameworks for the topics I raise. From finding new ways to coach team members through a development opportunity, to guiding my team through periods of change, her expertise has broadened my approach as a leader. I often sing her praises and have recommended working with her to several colleagues.

Working with Sarah was one of the best decisions I made when stepping into a new Executive position. Sarah has a knack for asking the right questions and offering feedback that actually makes a difference, and she does this with a DEI lens. What I loved is how personalized the coaching was and working with a coach who's primary goal is to be in your corner. I wish I would have started with her earlier.
Emilie Harkin
Senior Vice President of Growth, The Guardian
Before I met Sarah, it could feel like I was navigating my career without a map. I've gained so much through her individual coaching and group sessions, by having a safe space to share experiences (especially those really thorny ones), hear advice, and -- most importantly -- sort through it all to figure out the path that's right for me.
​
In hindsight, working with Sarah was one of my best decisions. Looking ahead, it's one of my easiest. Working with her is an excellent option for anyone who also wants their future self to give a big "thank you!" to present-day you, for such a smart move.
Terrance Moore
Senior DEI Manager, The Athletic (New York Times)
A critical component of inclusive leadership is knowing how to create and shift space thru a DEI lens. Sarah exemplified this as my former manager. Quite frankly, I wouldn't be in my current role without her allyship and leadership.
She leads with empathy and thoughtfulness while always leaving herself open to how she can grow and better support others. As a manager, it was very refreshing to work with Sarah as she modeled excellence, promoted flexibility, and developed her direct reports. This was all while championing trust as a foundation of her managerial relationships, leading to effective partnership. Because of this, she was constantly a resource others sought in growing in their managerial skills. Our partnership in DEI work built on each other's strengths, expertise, experience, and unique insights in a way that truly gave thought-provoking, awareness-building & strategy-leading guidance to our colleagues & organization.
​
I'm so proud of her for launching this platform for others to build inclusive cultures, teams & organizations. If you're evaluating executive coaching and DEI consulting solutions, I couldn't recommend Meetinghouse more highly!

The best leaders have coaches. Sarah Cusick is one of the best coaches.
​
I participated in one of Sarah’s cohorts back in 2020. It was the low point of our national despair about Covid and racism. I was a white guy trying to lead a diverse team without a playbook for navigating the moment. And there were a lot of us.
​
Sarah taught us lessons about inclusive leadership that stay with me today. It was not the insipid stuff of HR handbooks. Not a judgmental environment disguised as a safe space. It was a place for real talk with peers.
​
Thrilled to see Sarah take (this model) on the road. It will nourish a lot of people.
