Sara has been featured on the U.S. State Department’s speaker’s circuit, and as a facilitator with Harvard’s Executive Education program.
Sara developed her groundbreaking In the Dark Methodology as a practical approach to authentic leadership, inclusion and change through individual action. Her Methodology is premised on the foundation that every person has value, and that we all benefit when we are all valued. The approach focuses participants on intentionality in interpersonal interactions; we can choose to reject the limitations of assumption and bias, instead empowering one another to reach our true potential by living authentically. Sara created a range of options, including training curricula, experiential workshops, coaching strategies and related tools, available as standalone offerings or as part of a comprehensive program.
