Partners
At AR & Partners we believe in harnessing the power of partnerships and collaboration. We work closely with a group of highly experienced professionals with different areas of expertise. Each are successful entrepreneurs in their our own right, that come together to join forces and provide a unique and powerful perspective on your requirements, flexibly and on demand.
For some of our clients, a cross-cutting team is needed to help with the issues they are facing. For others, it is working with just one specialist. Whichever scenario it is, we will jump in right from the start to help you achieve your goals. We want to understand your business inside out, live and breathe your values and culture to be able to give the insight that you need. We pride ourselves on becoming a generic part of the business quickly and effectively and understanding the fabric of what makes your organisation tick.
We will work alongside you, becoming a true partner and ‘critical friend’ who can then provide valid, trusted advice, and empower and coach both your leaders and teams on solutions that are specific to them.

Motivation & Engagement for schools, parents and organisations with Sarah
Understanding motivation is the key to unlocking people's potential and we are all motivated by different things. Engagement and Motivation programmes are often tailored for businesses, but there is a huge need for these same practices at schools and colleges. Furthermore, individual parents can benefit from support to help unlock their child's motivation and understand better how they 'tick'. Homeschooling in the UK brought this to the forefront for many schools and parents, demonstrating the need to be able to support teachers, students and parents in new and unprecedented ways. If your school needs support, or you are a parent that wants to find out more, let me introduce you to our highly experienced and qualified Motivation expert.
Sarah became a Licensed Practitioner of Motivational Maps® in 2015, to help people to find out what motivates them and, importantly, give them strategies to maintain and improve their motivation. She works closely with schools and with parents/guardians to support children and has a special interest in supporting children and adults with special educational needs.
-
Do you want to know how to increase engagement and motivation for adults and young people who are disengaged?
-
Are you a school looking to support and monitor staff and pupils motivation and mental health?
-
Are you a parent wanting to unlock your child's motivation?
As a parent, you want what is best for your child. Sarah's organisation works with children age 9 and upwards giving you the insight to understand what makes your child ‘tick’ and provide effective, simple, easy to implement strategies to engage your child.
She also works with schools and colleges to help them understand what motivates their teachers and students to improve results, increase attendance and engagement and help your school or college and most importantly, your students, achieve more.
