AGL IN PRACTICE

Every engagement is different, however the working style remains consistent – measured, responsive and easy to integrate.

AGL works quietly alongside senior teams, often during moments that carry weight or complexity.

The focus is to bring perspective, reduce friction and support progress with clarity.
Communication is open and direct. Time is used carefully.

Alongside advisory work, mentoring is part of how trust builds – especially when leaders need calm, focused support to think clearly under pressure.

What matters is building trust early – so decisions can be supported not delayed.

INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE

Sara is a first class communicator and provides a very reassuring demeanour. It is always clear when working with Sara that she has a clear mission strategy and she finds a way and means to get things done in an effective and complete manner.
