Signature keynotes

Three talks, one message

Every talk comes back to the same idea: your worth isn't something you earn. It's something you claim.

FLAGSHIP KEYNOTE

Take Your Power Back

“The issue isn't strategy. The issue is worthiness.”

Is the way you see yourself actually yours, or is it borrowed from parents, teachers, bosses, and the culture? Sarah shows audiences how to separate the two and declare who they are, at work and at home.

Best for
  • Women's summits
  • Conferences
  • Leadership events
  • Employee groups
RESILIENCE & MINDSET

Things Go Wrong So Life Can Go Right

“My failures don't define me. Yours don't define you either.”

A talk about the questions we ask when life falls apart, and how changing one question moves the power back inside you. Practical, funny, and built for rooms going through change.

Best for
  • Wellness & mindfulness events
  • Teams in change
  • Churches
STUDENTS & YOUNG WOMEN

Confidence Is a Journey

“Confidence isn't something you earn. It's your birthright.”

Two out of three people struggle with low self-esteem. Sarah gets the whole room involved, then gives students tools for confidence, self-love, and gratitude they can use the next morning.

Best for
  • School assemblies
  • Youth programs
  • Girls' empowerment

Each keynote is tailored to your audience, theme, and goals. Ask about a custom talk or a multi-session series.

Why event planners book her

8 Reasons to Book Sarah

In Sarah’s words, and in the words of the rooms she’s spoken to.

  1. She brings a crowd with her.

    With 1.6M+ followers and ~100M views a month, Sarah promotes your event to an audience that already trusts her. More ticket sales, more buzz, before she ever takes the stage.

  2. Big ideas, made simple.

    Sarah takes tough concepts and breaks them down so clearly that everyone in the room gets it, and remembers it.

  3. The room comes alive.

    Sarah is pure energy, and your audience feels it from her first line to her last.

  4. A room locked in.

    When Sarah speaks, phones go down and people lean in. Your audience stays focused and engaged from start to finish.

  5. Real talk, not a script.

    She speaks from her own story, honest, funny and direct, and audiences see themselves in her.

  6. They leave with tools, not just a feeling.

    People walk out empowered, and more important, with something practical they can use at home when real life kicks back in after the conference high wears off.

  7. More than a speaker.

    Host of It’s Giving Podcast and an on-camera interviewer, Sarah can keynote, moderate a panel, lead a workshop or retreat, host and MC your event, host interviews, guest on radio and podcasts, make a paid brand appearance, or tape a live podcast episode with your audience as the guests.

  8. Everyone has fun.

    Sarah’s events are a good time, full of laughter and moments people talk about for weeks. And she’s easy to work with: she tailors every talk to your theme and shows up prepared.
