Keynotes
Crack On, On Purpose.
Most people don't have a motivation problem.
They have an intentionality problem.
In a world of constant change, competing priorities, uncertainty and information overload, it's easy to find yourself running hard without being entirely sure you're running in the right direction. Calendars fill up. Demands increase. Opportunities appear. Before long, you're busy, productive and exhausted, yet disconnected from what matters most.
Crack On, On Purpose is a powerful keynote about navigating uncertainty with greater clarity, confidence and intention.
Drawing on behavioural science, leadership psychology and Sarah's Human Navigation System, this keynote helps audiences recognise the difference between operating on autopilot and making conscious choices about where they invest their time, energy and attention.
Audiences leave with practical tools to cut through the noise, make better decisions and create momentum that feels purposeful rather than relentless.
Perfect for:
Leadership conferences, women's leadership events, organisational change programmes, business conferences and teams navigating growth, transition or uncertainty.
Who’s at Your Table.
Your future is shaped by the rooms you enter, the conversations you have and the people you choose to keep around you.
Yet many people build their careers, businesses and lives by accident rather than design.
Who's At Your Table?™ is a thought provoking and highly practical keynote exploring the power of relationships, networks, influence and human connection.
Blending leadership insight, behavioural science and real world experience, Sarah challenges audiences to think differently about the people who shape their thinking, challenge their assumptions, open doors and influence their confidence, decisions and opportunities.
This is not a networking talk.
It's a keynote about building the right support system for the life, career, leadership journey or business you want to create.
Audiences leave with a fresh perspective on connection, influence and the strategic relationships that help people thrive in an increasingly complex world.
Perfect for:
Leadership events, women's networks, ERGs, talent programmes, professional associations, conferences and organisations focused on collaboration, inclusion and career development.

Empower
Sarah hosts the global Empower programme.
This interactive and impactful programme is perfect for inspiring your female leaders to develop and amplify their strengths and build resilience and confidence. It provides them with the tools needed to push boundaries and overcome challenges to perform at the highest level.
Four inspirational sessions are led by high-performing, successful women in business, who share their experiences and expertise to drive a change in mindset and create positive impact.
“Friendly, charming & funny, Sarah was very knowledgeable. She could be on TV.” Delegate
“Sarah was energetic, funny and very knowledgeable. It was a delight to listen to her.” Delegate
“I came away with so much energy from Sarah’s talk. I love her no bullshit, grounded, real approach.” Delegate
“If you're looking for a lively and engaging speaker to work with you and your team, then look no further than Sarah. Sarah ran a super online event for the PRCA with PR leaders across the north of England, exploring how we manage the stress levels of the people in our care as well as importantly, our own stress levels.
She is a natural and eloquent communicator, who puts the audience at ease and manages to encourage them to participate in the sessions (which is an especially hard task when online!).
Sarah has extensive knowledge of nurturing staff, developing skills, exploring their wellbeing, and evolving cultures with organisations - which I'd say are vitally important areas for any business to focus on in 2021.”
– Lisa Wood - NW Manager PRCA
