"Authenticity and connectivity were key factors when choosing speakers for the virtual edition of The EVENT, which we had to shift from a highly engaged in-person conference with a ton of human connections to a virtual experience. Sarah spent the time getting to know both prior to and during the EVENT. She also stayed connected with us post-program. Her authenticity was present, and she was able to connect with audiences as noted in the explosive chats throughout her time addressing our community. Personal experiences shared provided our attendees with real-life examples of how-to human connections that they were seeking. Making human connections virtually is not impossible but also not easy. Sarah was up for the challenge and made meaningful impacts while showing us that the Flip Side of Failure definitely has its advantages."

"Funny, full of energy and incredibly motivating – all words to use when describing Sarah and her passionate stage presence. We were fortunate to have Sarah join us as a speaker for Spark Women’s Leadership Conferences and her presentations about leveraging greatness hit the core of our objective at SPARK: “A rising tide lifts all boats”. I would not hesitate to recommend Sarah to other organizations that are searching for a well-prepared, well-organized, thoughtful and passionate storyteller."

Dealing with Sarah was wonderful – she was open, professional and willing to work with us to customize her message to incorporate our culture and connect to our topic and participants. During the session, she was a pro with a powerful message and a fantastic delivery. We had wonderful feedback from all that attended and can’t wait to have Sarah back for another session in the future!"
