About Sasha
Sasha thrives on working with people to achieve substantial and meaningful outcomes for their professional, personal and community life. Working closely with Ashley and Abby since 2008, she has tailored her professional development to match the values of Veraison. Growing up in regional Western Australia, she learnt the importance of meaningful relationships, a value that has shaped her career.
After completing her degree at UWA, Sasha worked for Western Australia’s largest privately owned Corporate Psychology service provider and received hands on experience in the world of training and development. In 2011 she travelled to the UK to complete her Masters in Organisational Psychology at Manchester Business School; the UK’s highest ranking business research school. Still committed to research, Sasha’s more recent findings have allowed her to discover meaningful trends surrounding the biggest capability and culture gaps within the aged and health care industries in Australia. More recently, Sasha has partnered with Local Governments within Metro Perth and regional Western Australia to transform leadership capability, organisational culture and overall performance.
At Veraison she focusses on the design and delivery of custom, high impact leadership and culture transformation programs, utilising the Human Synergistics model to inform program design. She takes a supportive, action focussed and goal orientated approach to coaching, and finds seeing transformation in her clients the most rewarding part of her role. As General Manager, Sasha has the opportunity to 'practice what she preaches' and implement the theoretical leadership models, enabling her to share her lived experience with clients in a honest way.
Sasha was nominated for the 2021 40Under40 celebrating WA’s leading entrepreneurs and innovators under 40 years of age, and prior to starting her family, spent many American summers at camp, mentoring young female leaders.
