SPEAKING TOPICS
Competence Is Your Superpower: The Unseen Fuel Behind Executive Presence & Unshakeable Confidence:
A few years ago, a client walked into a boardroom with two dozen VCs. They had the data, the vision—but their voice trembled when they introduced themselves. They weren’t nervous because they were not smart. They were nervous because they didn’t feel like they belonged with this caliber of leaders.
Later, one of the partners said, ‘You had great ideas—but you didn’t own the room.’ And that moment changed everything for them. Because confidence isn’t something you magically wake up with—it’s built from competence. From knowing your value and being able to communicate it with conviction.
And how often have you been told to “just be more confident” to elevate your leadership, and be heard in the room? The truth is, confidence isn’t the goal—it’s competence that fuels confidence.
Sarah leads an immersive talk on how executives, entrepreneurs, and ambitious leaders can refine their presence, master their communication skills, and project authority without faking it. People around you can feel the “fake it energy.” Also, “faking it” is a fast track to burn out.
This workshop unpacks the real foundation of executive presence—a powerful mindset, commanding body language, and the ability to communicate authentically with clarity and conviction. Sarah gives leaders the tools to step into rooms with ease, influence decisions, and create meaningful relationships that amplify their mission and impact.
Sarah shares her own inspiring story of building her executive presence in the early days of the tech industry when she was often the only woman in the room.
AUDIENCE TAKEAWAY:
Sarah builds deep trust with your audience by breaking down the five core elements of executive presence—mindset mastery, body language, expertise, vocal command, and authentic connection. She delivers practical, evidence-based strategies to reframe self-doubt, command attention, and communicate with impact.
Sarah will take your audience on a journey through insight, laughter, challenge, and transformation. They will leave inspired and equipped with powerful tools to embody the leader they’re dying to be.
Imposter Syndrome Trap—Break Free from Self-Doubt to Unlock Authentic Lasting Confidence:

Even the most high-achieving leaders battle an inner voice that whispers: You’re not good enough. You got lucky. What if they find out you don’t belong?
Imposter syndrome isn’t just a personal struggle—it’s a team-wide issue that leads to politicking, fear of speaking up, and a lack of accountability. But the good news? You can rewire these patterns.
Sarah leads a dynamic, research-backed talk that can also be a workshop that exposes the three key traits of imposter syndrome and how they silently hold back even the most driven professionals:
The Success Discreditor—Believing achievements are due to luck, not skill
The Perfectionist Trap—A relentless need to be flawless and fear of judgment
Sarah will help your key players identify what’s blocking them, so they can move past insecurity and self-doubt—unlocking their full potential for the benefit of the team.
AUDIENCE TAKEAWAY:
Sarah provides a step-by-step strategy for breaking free from imposter syndrome using evidence-based cognitive and somatic tools. Your team will walk away with:
The Effort Spiral—Working harder and harder, yet feeling less satisfied
A clear understanding of their self-doubt triggers
Tools to reframe negative thoughts forever, and own their success
Without these shifts, your team risks staying stuck in fear, second-guessing their abilities, and holding back from the bold decisions that drive success.
This session will leave them inspired, equipped, and ready to step into their greatness
A newfound confidence to speak up, take risks, and lead powerfully

Years ago, I sat across from a brilliant founder—on paper, she was crushing it. Her company had just raised a Series B, her team was scaling fast, and she was on every “women in leadership” list you could name. But when I asked how she was doing, she paused… and said, “I honestly don’t know. I just keep pushing through.”
She was exhausted, disconnected from her family, and terrified to admit she didn’t feel in control anymore.
Here’s the kicker: Her board thought she was fine. Her team thought she was inspiring. But inside? She felt like she was failing.
That moment made something crystal clear to me: High achievers don’t burn out because they’re weak. They burn out because they’ve been taught to lead without space for their own humanity.
But what if achieving at the highest level didn’t mean running on empty, feeling burnt out and disappointing your loved ones?
For high-performing executives, founders, and ambitious leaders, success often comes at a high cost: long hours, constant decision fatigue, and strained relationships both at work and at home. But here’s the truth—burnout isn’t a badge of honor. It’s a silent culture killer.
In this bold, research-backed session, Sarah unpacks the real consequences of hidden burnout and how it impacts decision-making, creativity, and company culture—starting from the top.
She reveals why vulnerability is the new superpower in leadership, and how integrating life and work (instead of trying to “balance” them) is the key to sustainable success.

The Hidden Costs of Burnout—Why ignoring mental health erodes company trust, team performance, and your own capacity to lead
