About Me

Empathy-led coaching for high-performing leaders, teams, and organizations.

For 25 years Scott Sadler has been coaching leaders like you. I believe that exceptional leadership starts from the inside out. With decades of executive experience and certifications in life and executive coaching, I help leaders and teams unlock their full potential by blending emotional intelligence, strategic insight, and systems-based thinking.

I work with C-suite executives, HR professionals, and leadership teams who are navigating growth, conflict, transition, or performance plateaus. Whether you're aiming to improve communication, retain top talent, build cohesive teams, or lead through change, you're in the right place.

What I Bring

Executive & Leadership Coaching
Real-time coaching that enhances self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and leadership effectiveness. I help leaders shift from reactive to responsive, especially in high-stakes environments.
Strengths-Based Development
Using tools like CliftonStrengths and EQ-i 2.0, I guide individuals and teams to operate in alignment with their natural talents, leading to better engagement, resilience, and performance.
Coaching for EOS® Implementers
As organizations adopt the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) outlined in Traction by Gino Wickman, I specialize in coaching Implementers and leadership teams to successfully bring the vision down to the ground.
I partner with EOS Implementers and their clients to support behavioral change, accountability, and team dynamics—ensuring that Level 10 Meetings, Rocks, Scorecards, and IDS become more than just tools, but culture-shifting habits.
Custom Workshops & Retreats
From leadership off sites to wellness, centered retreats, I design and facilitate experiences that build capacity, trust, and strategic clarity.

Certified in EQ-i 2.0® Emotional Intelligence

As a certified EQ-i 2.0® practitioner, I use one of the most widely respected emotional intelligence assessments to help leaders understand how their emotions impact decision-making, collaboration, and performance.

When paired with Gallup CliftonStrengths, this becomes a powerful combination:

EQ-i 2.0 highlights your capacity to navigate stress, build relationships, and lead with composure.
CliftonStrengths identifies your natural talents and how to maximize them in your role.

Together, these tools allow leaders to grow not just in competence—but in consciousness. It's the foundation for creating high-trust environments where people thrive.

Let’s Work Together

If you're ready to create a high-trust, high-performance culture—or if you're implementing EOS and want leadership coaching aligned with that system—let’s talk.

“Empathy is my superpower. Alignment is my strategy. Transformation is the result.”

Beyond Coaching

When I’m not working with clients, I’m spending time with family and friends, exploring the Pacific Northwest, hiking in the mountains, paddling in local waters, golfing, practicing yoga, cooking and enjoying craft beer great wine, traveling and vinyl records. These experiences ground me and remind me of the beauty of balance—a value I strive to bring to every coaching
