It is effort not time that is needed to transform, change and lead. Effort feels time consuming because it requires we avoid the automaton shortcuts our brain otherwise loves to take. But, it is not time consuming.
We work with people in relatively short but intense bursts; and then we stay with people and teams, through nudges, so that they make the transformation and changes needed
Everyone can have their dream career – – within companies; as a portfolio professional or entrepreneur. It may take a long or short time to get there but we can make a plan for it, and taking small steps all the time, will get you there. Dream big.
People and teams have much more potential than they think – it’s about sharing expertise and ideas and you can get there.
We are not low cost but we are high value. We guarantee that you will have tactics and strategies to achieve your goals after working together. And if you don’t, we will refund your fee.
Commitment – to the people we work with, to challenge and support them to get what they want. We don’t give up.
Compassion – for how hard it is to build your own business, to grow a non profit, to fit everything in, to fall and get back up (Japanese proverb- fall seven times, stand up eight – that’s Thrive)
Curiosity – learning, sharing, learning some more. Ask questions, question the questions, question the answers! The answers are there somewhere, we just have to find them, seek them out, search for them.
Energy – sometimes we just need to strong shot of “oomph”, a ray of sunshine in our day, a starburst at night. A sense that someone believes in us and will help us to get there.
Clarity – we’ve had a glimpse of numerous sectors, sizes of business, cultures, we’ve grown, we’ve cut….we’ve studied, we’ve read, we’ve researched….together, we can cut through and create the simple, clear steps to moving forward.
Thrive founder and managing director Sarah David has over 15 years’ experience at the executive level of business.
Her early career as a lawyer morphed into sales and senior management. A key player in business acquisitions has given her strong experience in change situations, particularly restructuring international teams and leading change programmes vital to growth and retrenchment strategies.
Sarah has unusually broad experience of sizes of organisations, sectors and corporate structure. These range from £1.5bn to $1m turnover, covering law, consulting and search through to regulatory and education sectors. Ownership model experience includes small private companies, partnerships, private equity-backed, public sector, not-for-profit and NASDAQ-listed.
Thrive is a social business, supporting social justice and mobility causes and charities, where Sarah has active leadership roles. Her teenage boys keep her grounded and her involvement in local groups as well as her passion for music, books, politics and sports mean she applies her own consulting advice to fit everything in.
Her MBA, executive Harvard Business School programme, executive coaching training and investment in professional development are components of her success.
Returning from the US after being suddenly widowed, Sarah took her experiences into consultancy with two interim roles working with executive teams in complex, multi-site organisations focused on financial growth, integration and culture change.
Sarah founded Thrive with her belief that business leaders do have time to make changes that will make them and their businesses prosper.
