Sarah Ing Coaching

Hi, I'm Sarah.

I help women in tech fall back in love with their careers.

Oh boy, do I know about feeling lost.

I’ve spent way too much time bedridden and binge-watching shows in an effort to numb. Like, way more time than I’d want to admit to you.

But also, I know a hell of a lot about getting back up and going after what you want.

Life highlights

started over in 3 countries - new jobs, new apartments, new friends
180 degree career change! went from an English degree to software engineering
started a podcast called The Breakup Evolution where I interview strangers about their breakups and how they’ve grown

I’ve spent over a decade in software engineering, building and leading teams. I’m most proud of being a thoughtful, transparent leader, building an AI creativity tool at Splice, and founding a VC-backed startup.

My free time consists of learning to hip hop dance (still terrible but still having fun, thanks for asking!), podcasting, and park sauntering. I have a strong affinity for wigs. My fave will always be when I dressed up as Estelle from the Golden Girls.

“I just feel stuck about what I should do.”

“Sometimes I get so overwhelmed I don’t do anything.”

“I want to wake up feeling excited and present.”

Does this sound familiar?

If so, let’s

work together.

With my background in engineering, we’ll take an analytical (and fun!) approach to designing the future on your own terms.

Shiva B, Operations and Venture for America Fellow

“I had Sarah to count on and she was really rooting for me.

She encouraged me to break down my challenges into small tiny chunks and put them out in the real world and get feedback.

That really removed a lot of pressure from trying to figure out the right thing to do.”

What it’s like to work together

Transform your strengths

"Sarah created an open, accepting, and fruitful environment for me to learn and improve. She has an innate sense for understanding individual's specific needs and she tries her hardest to help you solve blockers that might prevent you from being your best self.

She is able to work with you to transform your strengths and weaknesses into goals that make you a stronger person. I was made a better engineer for having worked with Sarah, and anyone who is given the chance to be coached by her will grow in their capacity to reframe their skills into assets that will benefit anyone they work for, whether that is themselves or any organization. "
