How unconditional recognition ignites resilience, relationships, and retention

Failure is a tough nut. Either we treat it like the other “f-word,” or we’re espousing its virtues for learning. Let’s face it. We don’t have much resilience when failure comes crashing into our lives and careers.

Organizational Development, Purolator Inc.

"Sarah nailed it! She worked with the planning group to learn about the organization, the audience, the desired key messages and integrated it seamlessly into her keynote. Her energy was contagious! We received rave reviews of this portion of our event and Sarah was able to speak to all members of our organization in a way that motivated them to recognize others everyday. Our executives were extraordinarily pleased and integrated FROGging into their recent board meeting. Purolator is grateful to Sarah for dropping the pebble and we continue to see the ripples from this session across the organization. Working with Tami was phenomenal and the supports were easy to integrate to ensure the session went well. Thanks to you both!!"

Agata Siczek

Communications & Events Coordinator, Network Child Care Services

"We are so grateful for the training we received from Sarah. It was obvious to see that our staff were engaged with the material, and were able to apply it to their work days. It was just wonderful to see and experience the connection amongst colleagues."

Neil Dickens

"Interesting, relevant and engaging. Sarah’s personality made her insights all the more relatable."

Nicole McKenzie

Client Services, AlayaCare

"Sarah’s high-energy, engaging Keynote speech was the perfect way to kick off this year’s DeGroote Interprofessional Health Leadership Conference (DIHLC)! She has a unique ability to connect with the audience even virtually and her talk “The FROG Effect” about recognizing greatness in others, created a significant impact with our audience full of graduate students and healthcare professionals. She has a rare combination of entertainment value that will keep you on the edge of your seat; high energy to keep attendees engaged and by the end of her talk you will feel like you have been friends with her for years. I could not recommend Sarah more for any event or speaking engagement you may need!"

Adrian Trevino

Former Conference Chair, National Amtelco Equipment Organization

"Sarah was just above and beyond. Our association has existed for well over 30 years. We have had many keynote speakers over that time at our annual conferences. Sarah has certainly been the most anthropological speaker we have had. She invested so much time and energy into our group to understand us and our industry. Speaking to our group can sometimes be a challenge for speakers. However, Sarah was able to deliver a talk that was not only engaging but relevant!"

Linda Oslip

Executive Director, Canadian Call Management Association (CAM-X)

"We cannot thank you enough for helping to make our Virtual Conference a great success. Your perspective, insight and intelligence shone through, making this an exceptional and interactive session for our audience! PS - LOVED working with you and looking forward to working with you in person in the future!!!"

Thomas Schenk

Software Developer, PeoplePraise

"We jumped at the chance to be the sponsor of Sarah’s keynote on recognition. Not only is it aligned to our product, we believe we had more folks visit our booth because they left her session motivated and ready to bring recognition deeper into their organizations. It really showed that she did her homework to get to know the industry. We definitely would sponsor Sarah again."
