Inspired by the belief that the highest performance doesn’t come from a place of relentless struggle and strain, Sarah Derrenbacher founded Evolveability to guide leaders towards a more fulfilling way of achieving success within their team, organization, and society.
As an established Founder, trusted Leadership & Performance Strategist, and certified behavioral analyst, she is on a mission to re-envision the path to performance.
Since 2015, Evolveability has guided individuals and groups within sports and business to realize their potential and perform well beyond their expectations.
Over the past seven years, Sarah has contributed to over 20 league championships, NCAA tournament runs, and individual record-breakers in sports while helping Fortune 500 companies to outperform and growing small to mid-sized businesses into industry leaders.
From guiding teams out of slumps to accelerating breakthrough moments, Evolveability’s proprietary E3 System™ successfully transforms groups through individual performance coaching and dynamic team sessions.
The first half of her 18+ year career focused on client success and partnerships, where she witnessed the direct correlation between performance and the wellness of individuals, groups, and environments. And Sarah has committed the second half of her career to transformation as she turns high-pressure environments into high-context cultures, fearful groups into motivated teams, and validation-seeking individuals into self-assured leaders.
With a bachelor’s degree in Communications and minor in Psychology and Marketing, Sarah is an excellent communicator with a strong understanding of people. And as a 12-year student of meditation and Inquiry, her approach is enlivening and transcendent.
As an advisor for The Heartwork Institute, an organization that informed her own inner-work journey, a board member of the Rochester City Soccer League, and partner of like-minded organizations such as Rising Phoenix, Sarah finds fulfillment in helping others. By embracing awareness and humanness on our own journeys, she believes we can find unconditional joy within ourselves, our teams, and our world.
