Trusted by leaders from
You're good at what you do. But somehow the doubt crept in.
You've stepped into a new role and suddenly feel like you're not ready, senior, or good enough yet.
You sit in meetings knowing the answer, but hold yourself back, second-guessing, waiting for others to speak up.
Or you speak up and spend the rest of the day replaying it.
Was that too much? Not enough?You get the feedback, the results, the recognition, and still can't quite believe it.
You're back after parental leave and feel like you have to start from scratch - proving yourself all over again.
You're building your own business and without the feedback you'd get in a corporate role, the silence feeds doubt.
Are you on the right track? Does what you do even land with people?
This isn't always just a confidence problem.
Sometimes it's a skills gap.
Sometimes confidence is holding you back from using the skills you already have.
Often it's both.
The good news: both can be worked on.
And that's exactly what we do.

What if you showed up differently - and felt it too?
🔵 You speak up and mean it
You share your perspective without rehearsing it over and over -
or replaying it after.
You say what you think. And you trust it.
🔵 You make decisions and back yourself
Less second-guessing.
You trust your judgement and move forward.
🔵 You move from planning to doing
Less circling. Less preparing.
You take the decision, the strategy, the next move, and you act on it.
🔵 You know your value and you show it
You bring the strategy, the expertise, the experience.
Not just the confidence to share it, but the capability to back it up.
🔵 You feel like yourself again
Confident. Competent.
Certain of what you bring in any room, any role.

Hi, I'm Sabine.
My story didn't start in coaching, it started in finance.
I spent the first decade of my career in finance and controlling roles across different industries.
Within ten years I had to be honest with myself. My role wasn't giving me any joy, meaning or sense of purpose. And I started doubting what I was doing.
My last role was in pharma, where crisis mode was normal. The pressure mounted, the self-doubt deepened, and one Thursday afternoon I left and never returned.
Six months of coaching and honest reflection later, I changed direction completely. I went back to university, joined consulting, moved countries and built something new.
That year 2012 when I turned my life around was also when the idea for Turnaround Practice was born. And that's where the name comes from.
I work with female leaders and professionals who are highly capable but doubt themselves, and I know that territory firsthand.
People describe me as practical, direct, and real. With a talent for surfacing what's really going on underneath, and getting you back on track.
And yes, sometimes I'm funny. That helps too.

“I thought what can listening to an audio do to make me more self-confident. But after listening to it, I can only say I felt lighter, happier and more confident, because I know my stuff and I shouldn't be afraid to share my experience.”
Clara — Senior Leader,
Financial Services, Australia
“The audio felt like a treat at the end of the day to calm my brain right down. My mind was clearer in the morning. It taps into another frequency of the brain where I would like to be more often. It was really good!”
