About Me

Hello! I’m Sara Haboubi — part engineer, part educator, part explorer of the human mind. My career journey has taken me from designing mechanical systems in skyscrapers to re-wiring the mental blueprints of learners, leaders, and life-changers.

I’m a lifelong learner and an unshakable believer that everyone has a hidden gear — that sweet spot where capability, confidence, and curiosity click into place. My work blends the precision of my engineering past with the creativity and compassion of coaching, creating transformational learning experiences that feel both structured and alive.

For over 20 years, I’ve been designing and delivering programmes that turn “I can’t” into “I can” — from boardrooms to classrooms, across Ireland, the UAE, and beyond. I’m the co-developer of the Jumpstarting™ Word & Number Skills Process and the creator of Burnout SOS, and I’ve had the privilege of watching breakthroughs happen in real time — the kind that change not just skills, but lives.
