If we change our stories,

we change our futures. 

Sarah Renger

The future is not shaped by data and strategies alone. It is also shaped by the stories we tell. And the ones we leave unexamined.

 

I work with storytelling to make the invisible visible: the narratives, assumptions and mental models that shape how we think, decide and act individually and collectively. 

 

My work connects science and creative communication, future thinking and mental health. I support people and organisations in navigating complexity and uncertainty, with clarity, resilience and the creative capacity to shape what comes next.

Because the stories we choose shape what becomes possible.

Clarity in complexity.

Communication with intention.

Future through imagination.

I support people and organisations working with complexity, ideas and responsibility and who know that the way we think, communicate and imagine the future shapes what becomes possible.

 

My work is especially relevant for:

  • Researchers, PhD candidates and academic institutions

  • Creative professionals and cultural organisations

  • Future-oriented teams navigating transformation.

From inner clarity to shared meaning
to consciously shaped futures.

Work with me.

You can work with me in three ways.

Depending on where you are, we can work one-to-one, in groups or through co-creative formats.

Strengthening inner clarity

1:1 Coaching, Group Coaching & Mentoring

For researchers, PhD candidates, creative professionals and leaders who:

  • work in demanding, high-expectation environments

  • question their role, direction or next professional step

  • experience self-doubt, visibility pressure or the strain of sustained performance

  • want to communicate and lead with greater clarity and presence

  • seek sustainable ways of working without losing focus or integrity

 

Together, we work on professional identity, role clarity and long-term orientation.
We strengthen self-leadership and resilience, so you can act deliberately rather than react under pressure.

​Making complexity communicable

Consulting, Workshops & Keynotes

 

For universities, research institutes and creative organisations who:

  • communicate complex research, projects or ideas

  • prepare high-stakes presentations, funding proposals or public engagement

  • navigate interdisciplinary collaboration and institutional dynamics

  • seek communication that builds trust and shared understanding

 

We develop narrative clarity and strategic communication — shaping how complex work is framed, understood and supported across different audiences.

Clarifying what comes next

Keynotes & Co-Creative Formats

For organisations and forward-thinking teams who:

  • navigate uncertainty and transformation

  • sense that existing strategies no longer offer orientation

  • want to explore alternative futures beyond short-term planning

  • are ready to imagine and test new possibilities together

 

Through narrative foresight and my Possible Worlds approach, we create shared spaces for thinking beyond the expected.
Future scenarios are not predicted, they are explored and co-created.

I work in the in-between.

Between thinking and feeling.
Between analysis and imagination.
Between inner reflection and outward impact.

I bring these dimensions into a productive relationship. My work is:

 

  • Reflective and research-informed

  • Creative and embodied

  • Structured and process-oriented, with depth

  • Dialogical, because meaning emerges in exchange.

 

Rooted in my PhD in media and communication and informed by narrative psychology, systemic coaching and mental health literacy, I work with both complexity and emotion bringing clarity, resilience and imagination into one coherent process.

 

This integrative approach is particularly relevant in environments where high expectations and sustained pressure shape everyday work.

Wer Sarah Renger auf der Suche nach einer tollen Coachin findet, hat einen wahren Schatz gefunden. Denn Sarah ist nicht nur super sympathisch, sondern auch hochgradig empathisch. Sie hat mir geholfen, kognitive und emotionale Blockaden zu erkennen und erfolgreich zu zähmen. Name it to tame it – genau das haben wir geschafft. Mit ihrem systemisch-kreativen Ansatz gelingt es ihr, sich ganzheitlich, flexibel und inspirierend durch den Coaching-Prozess zu navigieren. Dank ihr habe ich wieder einen klaren Blick auf meine Stärke und Ressourcen, Ziele und Werte. Ich fühle mich empowert und vollständig und könnte nicht
dankbarer sein für die inspirierende Zusammenarbeit sein.
