Sarah Says is about creating moments of connection and innovation through knowledge sharing and storytelling. I will help you take those brilliant ideas that are floating in your mind, put structure around them and articulate them in a memorable and compelling way. You'll be able to influence and persuade others to your way of thinking, working or creating through the power of your story - but only once you're certain it's a valid idea.

With more than 20 years as a coach/trainer and with the last ten years in the Innovation industry, I've found what drives me, what my gifts are and I've created the winning formula in which to share those gifts with you.

Check out my offers below and let me know how I can help you and your teams. If you don't see exactly what you're looking for, please send me a quick message and we'll work it out together.

MY SERVICES

Solver Box Training

A six-level, innovation training combining the principles of Lean Start-up methodology and Design Thinking. It was created from Adobe’s “Kickbox” but over the last eight years I have enhanced the offer to create a well-rounded innovation methodology training. Solver Box delivers an actionable process for discovering new opportunities, customer validation and evaluating new business potential.

Telling and Selling Your Innovation

Pitch Training - We are regularly trying to influence and persuade people to seeing our vision, our way of working, our ideas. There is no better way to help people share their stories than with this training. A half-day training teaches and prepares participants to speak in public (not limited to an elevator pitch) from every angle including:

YOU as a public speaker, storyteller and pitcher - the physical, mental and emotional side of standing in front of a crowd
Storytelling - how to tell a compelling story to influence and persuade others to your way of thinking
Building - share a template and explain how to build a 5 minute elevator pitch

Speech writing

Everybody has a story within them, personally or professionally. I'm able to help you share that story in a simple, compelling and engaging manner. It's more than just sharing information, it's knowing and captivating your audience. Together we'll not just write your story, we'll take your audience on a journey.

Speech coaching

Once you have the story in place, I'm able to help you deliver your message in a memorable way. As a public speaker your job is more than just sharing information, you entertain through your message. That doesn't mean your'e a comic, it means your stage presence is authentic and leaves a lasting impression. Even the most introverted or shy speakers will find their voice and confidence once we've worked together to find your own style of delivery.

Creative writing & editing

Together we can elevate your message, making sure the purpose is clear. I'm able to be as involved as you need while writing or simply editing your creative pieces. From copy writing, to thinking of creative names for the dishes on your menu, we'll work together to make your ideas come to life.

KeYnote & Moderation

Your event is as successful as the memories you're able to create with your audience through coherent storytelling. As your keynote speaker I'll work with you to find your key messaging and then deliver a passionate keynote speech to your audience. I'm also available to moderate your entire event, creating a common thread from open to close. Through moderation I'm able to keep your audience engaged and curious as to what's going to happen next.

MENTORING

With more than 10 years running an global innovation team at a large corporation, wearing many professional hats - I have an abundance of knowledge to share and pass on. Innovation teams are often one to two people big and it can feel isolating. As a mentor I am here to support you, cheer you on, provide feedback, advice, and help you define and reach your goals. It can be a key relationship in your life and one that has the potential to impact your choices and career trajectory significantly.
