Meet Zing Collaborative
Leadership happens in the moments.
At Zing Collaborative, we believe that business can be a force for good and that conscious leadership is a pathway toward a more conscious world. We equip you with the tools you need to lead more effectively, discover win-win solutions, and cultivate joyful partnerships.
Think of us as your skillful coaches, guides, and thought partners. Equal parts fierce and loving, our goal is to embolden you to let the light shine through. Everything we do, we imbue with our four core values.
Our Core Values
Relationships
We build, strengthen, and honor relationships first. We work with a select number of clients each year who seek a partner, not a vendor.
Integrity
We do what’s right–not what’s easy. We act with the highest integrity for our clients, those they work with, and solutions that benefit the whole.
Kindness
Effectiveness must be backed by kindness. We tell the truth with heart, lead with good will, and invite our clients to do the same.
Calm
We strive for the productivity of a calm work environment. Our approach is refreshing, drama-free, and focused on achieving your goals.
Hi, I’m Sarah Young.
FOUNDER AND CEO OF ZING COLLABORATIVE & EXECUTIVE COACH
I’m the Founder and CEO of Zing Collaborative and the author of Expansive Impact: An Invitation to Lead in Everyday Moments, and I’m happy you’re here.
Prior to starting Zing Collaborative in 2013, I spent eight years leading people and projects in the corporate world. Over time, as I watched successful companies outgrow their constraints or struggle to reach their team’s true potential, I saw an opportunity to impart industry knowledge empowering leaders to inspire, grow their confidence, and engage in conscious business.
That’s why I wrote Expansive Impact and developed a comprehensive development program to go with it. Here, at the helm of Zing Collaborative, I have the privilege of partnering with thousands of leaders across industries and geographies to elevate their capacity, increase their effectiveness, and achieve their vision for the future.
