Sayre Darling is a change and crisis-tested coach, bringing more than 30 years of leadership experience from start-ups, mid-cap organizations, and Fortune 500 companies to her clients. She specializes in helping leaders—particularly middle managers and directors—navigate change, launch innovative “firsts,” realign culture, and deliver results under pressure.
For the past five years, Sayre has coached exclusively with middle management: a critical but often overlooked layer of leadership. Her coaching helps clients strengthen influence, scale their teams, and lead with confidence. They learn to set boundaries, craft clear expectations, communicate with impact, navigate difficult conversations, and develop a professional presence that technology can’t replace.
Clients describe her as calm in chaos, candid in a challenge, and catalytic in unlocking leadership strengths that drive both performance and purpose. She creates space for leaders to think, reset, and grow while equipping them to deliver results and avoid burnout.
