Personal Details

Bio

I'm your guide to uncovering and sharing the right personal stories so you can clearly and effectively demonstrate your character, values, vision, and talent through story sharing.

A communication coach, author, podcast host, and storyteller, my keynotes, workshops, and coaching packages with in-person and remote teams and their leaders are known to address and reduce miscommunication – the most common cause of tension and turnover in the workplace.

I guide individuals and teams to ensure work relationships are based on knowing & valuing each other’s strengths, and connecting with each other on the most basic level through story sharing and effective listening.

Approach Conflict with Curiosity: Storytelling to Build Connection

We know telling people they're wrong won't change their minds. What happens when we approach difficult conversations with curiosity? When we share a personal story that demonstrates why we believe something, we unlock the stories of the people around us, giving us an opportunity to ask thoughtful questions and open the door to possibility.

Building Resilience and Connection Through Storytelling

An experiential session for participants to develop a clear understanding of personal brand (or reputation), and how that relates to personal success, professional success, and healthy relationships. Sarah will demonstrate critical components of effective storytelling as a means to connect, to build confidence, and to nurture an intentional personal brand.

To ensure positive experiences in our interactions with others, we must be good ambassadors, representing our employer and community through authentic connection and be creating a welcoming environment.

How do we ourselves and others to do this?

We demonstrate these qualities. We share the right stories to build a culture of self-reflection and a focus on personal growth.

Storytelling, story sharing, is the most compelling way to connect with others, to demonstrate empathy, to be more persuasive, and to build resilience and confidence to overcome stressful situations.
