About Sarah

"The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why."

That quote from Mark Twain guides our work at Elevated Governance, because we believe leadership and governance, at their best, help us live and lead with purpose.

After years of working at the intersection of law, business, and board leadership, we saw an opportunity to help for purpose boards move beyond box-ticking and toward leadership grounded in integrity, clarity, and impact.

Through tailored training and facilitation, we support modern leaders to build their governance capability, strengthen board culture, and make confident decisions that drive forward their organisation’s mission.

If you're ready to elevate the way your board leads, we’d love to connect.
