KEYNOTE TOPICS

Below are Sarah’s keynote topics. However, these will be adapted to reflect your company’s challenges and goals to ensure the messages shared have the maximum impact.

BE bold and take smart risks

Being bold is about calculated risk-taking. In a world driven by innovation and change, the ability to take risks is not just an asset, it's a necessity.

Without it, we are dragged passively into our future rather than being in the driving seat.

Sarah explores the profound benefits of calculated risk-taking and the steps to cultivate a bold mindset that takes us from being timid in the face of uncertainty and risk to confidently embracing it.

When we embrace uncertainty, conquer fear, and are ready to learn from challenges we are propelled toward personal and professional growth and success.

conquering fear

It's natural to settle for comfort and familiarity and avoid facing our fears. But as Joseph Campbell said, “The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.”

The goal is not to be fearless but to fear less. The only way to do that is by facing those fears and moving through them. However, we do not have to scare ourselves senseless in the process.

Sarah shares practical steps that begin with getting curious about our fears, unpacking them, getting perspective and then using them to fuel us toward success.

“It was inspirational to hear from someone who is a totally normal person, but has achieved so much - purely through hard work, dedication and resilience.”

THRIVING OUTSIDE OF OUR COMFORT ZONE

In a world where comfort often equates to safety and familiarity, the concept of stepping outside one's comfort zone can feel daunting. Yet, it is precisely in those moments of discomfort that growth, resilience, and transformation thrive.

In this keynote, Sarah delves into the power of embracing discomfort as a catalyst for personal and professional development. She guides audiences through practical strategies and inspiring anecdotes aimed at empowering them to break free from the confines of their comfort zones.

Through engaging storytelling and thought-provoking insights, Sarah equips audiences with the tools and mindset shifts to embrace discomfort as a pathway to success.

Whether navigating career transitions, pursuing ambitious goals, or simply seeking to expand their horizons, participants will be inspired and empowered to step boldly into the unknown, confident in their ability to thrive outside of their comfort zones.
