For founders, leaders and people building something real
The biggest problem we face isn't strategy.
It's losing yourself while building something.
How do you stay connected to who you are when everything around you is competing for your attention?
That's the question I've spent thirty years helping people answer.
And the answer always starts in the same place.
Inside.
That's where we start.
The most important boardroom
is the one inside you.
That's where we start. That's where everything changes.
Hello, I'm Sarita Johan
A business and people lover, a mum of 3 (my biggest achievement) and someone who has a deep passion for seeing others thrive.
Life has sat me on my bum more than once, literally and metaphorically. That's what allows me to genuinely connect with the people I work with.
I bring thirty years of experience working with founders, CEOs and leadership teams globally.
But what I bring isn't just experience. It's perspective.
I pay attention. To you, your people and your dreams. I listen to what's not being said.
I see you.
I hear you.
I have got you.
Where to start?
THE WORK
four ways TO WORK WITH ME
.01
PERSONAL INSIGHTS ANALYSIS
For the individual who is ready to see themselves clearly. We start with a comprehensive assessment of how you think, what drives you, and how you naturally communicate. Then we decode it together — so you walk away knowing exactly what's going on under the hood and what to do with that.
.02
THE INNER BOARDROOM TEAM EXPERIENCE
For the team ready to stop losing energy to miscommunication. A shared language that changes how you lead together.
.03
YOUR RISING LEADERS
For the people you're watching. Give your emerging leaders a thinking partner in their corner — and see who steps up.
Words of appreciation
TESTIMONIALS
Core Engineering. CEO Sandro Razzi
They say one of the loneliest jobs on earth is the owner and manager of a small business. I don't think there are truer words spoken. Sarita's greatest strength is not trying to 'fix' problems but rather helping you break down what seem insurmountable hurdles into manageable bits and giving you the tools you need to solve the issues. Nearly ten years on, Sarita has become an integral part of our team.
G+S Communications Jenny Ringland
Working with Sarita over the last two years has been the most insightful and mindset shifting experience of my working life to date.
Her intuitive style, wise words and ability to cut through the noise of any scenario in an instant is incredible. The way she applies energy, flow and the human experience to business and work makes so much sense especially in a world where the lines of work and personal life are ever changing.
Everyone with even the smallest amount of curiosity about finding out what really matters to them needs Sarita and The Inner Boardroom in their lives
Renece Brewster Her Tech Circle
Ten years ago, Sarita became my coach. What I didn't know then was that she'd become one of the most important people in my professional life. Not because she gave me a framework or a five-step plan, but because she helped me hear myself more clearly. She's the real deal, and I say that as someone who's had a front row seat for a decade. Sarita, I am so ridiculously proud to be on your cheer squad. The world needs this! ✨
FOUNDER PARTNERSHIP
We Scout
It helped us pause and reconnect — to align our strengths and focus on what truly drives the business forward. Sarita bridges commercial vision and human understanding — that combination is rare. Annabel Jones
We finally gave our own business a seat at the table, and the difference has been powerful.” – Lori Susko
Start here
The Inner Boardroom Reflection. A resource for the conversation you haven't had with yourself yet.
This isn't a checklist or a goal-setting template. It's a structured pause. Four sections that walk you through what has actually shifted, what has tested you, how you are leading right now, and what you want the next chapter to feel like.
Most leaders never allow themselves the time to sit with these questions. The ones who do tend to make very different decisions afterwards. 30 minutes is all it takes.
WE ARE PROUD TO BE LIVING AND WORKING ON THIS LAND AND TAKE A MOMENT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PEOPLE OF BUNDJALUNG NATION, THE TRADITIONAL CUSTODIANS OF THIS LAND WE GET TO WORK AND LIVE ON. WITH DEEP GRATITUDE WE PAY OUR RESPECT TO THE ELDERS PAST AND EMERGING.
