Savannah is a precision-based clarity and decision coach for high-functioning professionals who are doing well on paper—but privately feel stuck in mental spinning, competing pulls, or chronic overload. Her work is built for people who don’t need more advice. They need accurate diagnosis, clean criteria, and a plan that fits their actual constraints.- Savannah’s signature concept is the Translation Gap: the moment when insight, emotion, and complexity fail to translate into a grounded decision and actionable next steps.
- She’s sought out by quiet high performers and midcareer climbers who want sustainable momentum and strategic visibility—without becoming someone they’re not.
- Known for being empathetic but frank, Savannah helps clients disrupt the narrative that capacity or strategy challenges are character flaws. Her strengths-led, pattern-based approach (including Gallup CliftonStrengths) identifies what’s actually driving the stall missing definition, missing criteria, too much volume, low capacity, risk that’s too loud, lack of leverage, or external gatekeeping—and then applies the simplest lever that creates real movement.
- Clients leave with a decision (or decision rule), a short-horizon plan, and a concise Translation Brief capturing the pattern, tradeoffs, and next lever.
- Her philosophy is simple: precision over performance, compassion without coddling, and progress that fits real life.
