"I've been practising telling teens, both my children and my patients, that I respect them (saying it in a genuine way, of course). What I've noticed is that they sit there, quietly soaking it in. It's as if their argumentative/reactive tendencies are "neutralized" due to the deep place the message lands on them. Thanks for teaching this strategy to me-- you can see that I learned the lesson well!"

"I was with you yesterday and I want to say again how fantastic, exciting and inspiring you were.

Her adaptation of Parent as Coach to Coaching4Teens is extraordinary, insightful and most of all it comes from her heart. Working with Sarah as your coach will definitely take you to new places! Put your seat belt on - this is the coach that rocks"

Parent as Coach
"Sarah Newton is an extraordinary coach who is one of the few coaches that combines her passion and enthusiasm without being afraid. For the client, this means you get a coach who is full of energy and dedicated to you - really focused on you and not what you think of her. When a coach is not afraid of what the client thinks, because they care so much for the client to succeed and does their work on behalf of the client, not their own ego, the results are amazing. Sarah is dedicated to her work and is a leader of teens, and parents and I highly admire her skills and courage"
