Sarah is coach - trainer, an entrepreneur, a painter, published author and a practicing Buddhist. She has lived in India, Colombia, Paris (and North London) and has a quirky and lively outlook on life. Ginger Coaching and Training as part of her life-long obsession with happiness.

Author of "How to be Brilliant at Public Speaking" (Pearson 2011), Sarah Lloyd-Hughes is a seasoned public speaker and specialist in training people how to become more inspiring, influential public speakers. Her approach helps people step beyond their comfort zones to become speakers who stick in the minds of their audience, long after they have left the room.

Sarah is passionate about helping people towards their full potential based on the qualities that live within us all. Trained as a coach by the CTI, she combines a co-active coaching approach with Tibetan Buddhist ideology in her work. When not working with aspiring public speakers, Sarah also enjoys helping people through the tricky decisions in life, such as career shifts and also teaches on motivation.

Prior to setting up Ginger, Sarah's career to-date has included training more than 3000 young people, helping start up an environmental recruitment consultancy company called Bright Green, running the Hub Islington - a workspace for social and environmental enterprise, corporate training in three countries and election to a National Vice President position for the international student leadership organisation AIESEC.

Sarah loves working with people of all shapes and sizes; from organisations and individuals who insist on passion and authenticity, to young people who don't need to insist on passion and authenticity- they just are it. Her personal passions include helping people 'lift the lid off life,' watching sunrise and eating cake whilst it's still warm.

what's in a name?

We get asked "Why Ginger?" a lot.

The answer goes like this. One of the coaching tools we often use is to help clients step forwards 20 years into the future to meet their most perfect future self.

Experiencing this for the first time herself, Sarah found her future self to be deeply peaceful, warm, passionate, a touch naughty. And she also noticed- to her surprise (and a touch of horror) that she had Ginger hair.

These days Ginger the business is the embodiment of every individual's true potential and a reminder of our drive to help every client to find their future self. So we want as many people as possible to 'Go Ginger.'
