How to Say “No” - So You Can Say “Yes” to What Matters

Learning how to say “no” is a critical work and life skill. Honoring your priorities sometimes means saying “no” to requests from others. In this program, Sara provides specific advice on how to say “no” comfortably and effectively, while maintaining your relationships.

Taking Smart Risks

Taking risks is critical to achieving your best career. Yet, taking risks is uncomfortable for most people. In this program, Sara provides a roadmap for how to become more comfortable taking risks, and bouncing back when a risk doesn’t work out exactly as planned.

Building Your Network Strategically

Effective networking is not about going to dreaded networking events and handing out your business card to strangers. Effective networking is about strategically building a network that will help you achieve your goals. In this program, Sara lays out how to strategically develop and nurture your network.

Increasing your visibility

It’s not enough to do good work; your good work needs to be recognized by those in a position to advance your career. But women often feel uncomfortable about showcasing their accomplishments. In this program, Sara provides advice on how to get the credit you deserve for the good work you do.

Sara’s teachings should be bottled to enjoy today and to use as a salve when you've had one of those tough days at work. Her talk about resilience gave us a lens to put our failures in perspective, to learn from them, and (most importantly) to move on!”

Sara shared lots of great advice with our audience and was a passionate and engaged speaker. I had several audience members approach me afterwards, eager to discuss what she said and how it made them think about their approach to their own career growth. Those thoughts are just what we wanted the program to inspire!
