She talked about learning to step into your own life, how to describe and define who you are, how to overcome the fear of failure, fear of success and fear of change.

Signature Talk
Drama Detox: Elevate Your Interactions
In her signature talk, "Drama Detox: Elevate Your Interactions," Sara enlightens, entertains and equips audiences with practical ways to transform conflict into cohesion. Eliminate misunderstandings, increase morale, improve productivity and reduce turnover before it affects your bottom line.
Your audience will learn:
What’s wrong with drama
What is (and isn’t) drama
The three roles people play in the drama triangle and why
How to get other people (and yourself) to avoid drama and get out of it faster when it can’t be avoided
Your audience will leave inspired to challenge their own roles, prepared to hold each other accountable and armed with simple and effective strategies to turn down the drama around them.
PLUS, Sara will invite you to take the 21-Day Drama Detox Challenge as a way to put your learning into action and continue to improve communication in your professional and personal relationships!

There’s a difference between hosting an event, planning an event and stepping on stage to execute an event. When you’ve worked hard to produce an amazing experience for your audience, the event itself is your time to sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
You CAN keep things moving, keep the audience engaged and introduce all of your speakers, but SHOULD you? Wouldn’t it be better if you could mingle, listen and BE PRESENT to experience the results of all your preparation efforts?
When you hire Sara as your emcee, she works closely with you to make sure that your vision for your conference, retreat or fundraiser becomes a reality that your audience can’t stop buzzing about!

Hire Sara to Speak
“I’ve heard Sara speak virtually, and she delivers actionable content with humor in a way that is SO relatable. But then... I attended a live event where Sara was the emcee and she absolutely knocked my socks off!
It’s one thing to keep the pace moving smoothly while also entertaining (which Sara did) but she took it up a notch. There were many speakers, and after every single one, she took some nugget in their speech, highlighted it, and used it to create audience engagement in between speakers. Sara is AMAZING and whether you need a speaker or an emcee, you will not be disappointed!”
