War veterans are NOT naturally cool under fire. People are NOT born with 007-esque levels of stoicism. Not even Sean Connery (God rest his mighty soul.)
Discover the unique HABITS formula that Sarah has developed; proven methods used by combat pilots which have been refined through her exploration of the human mind. You will learn practical tools for greater focus and productivity, reduced errors and reduced stress.
Learn also how to delegate without abdicating so you can multiply output, create space for strategic thinking and increase team engagement.
These techniques may have been learned on the battlefield, but they are absolutely transferable to your workplace…. and they WORK.
Outcomes:
Why we need to change our mindset around mistakes.
Mistakes are ok… so long as we learn from them, right?
But what if our traditional mindset around mistakes is precisely the reason we don’t learn from them?
And consider this, if an organisation fires someone when they make an honest mistake they’ve just fired the person who has the most information about what went wrong, and is most motivated to put it right.
Being ruled by a fear of failure won’t pay off in the end… but the truth is, no matter how irrefutable the logic is, IT’S HARD TALKING ABOUT MISTAKES
Sarah will share how to change our mindset so that we learn from our setbacks AND we take early corrective action to avoid setbacks in the first place.
And it doesn’t happened by being running away from failure – it happens when we LEAN IN.
Outcomes:
Leverage fear to cultivate emotional intelligence.
The number one thing that holds humans back?
It’s FEAR.
It can manifest in different ways; fear of rejection, fear of failure. Let’s be clear – this is what it means to be human. It’s not going anywhere. But it can really interfere with our decision making as a leader. In a team it can lead to group think, censorship and risk aversion.
In fact it’s a real buzz kill.
Whether you are looking for greater inclusivity, better teamwork, or more confident leadership, it’s the same starting point. It’ starts with understanding your fear to understand others, then leveraging it to lead intuitively.
Sarah will deliver outcomes for greater probability of success, collaboration and a culture where people can thrive.

It was a pleasure to hear you speak earlier, and sparked a number of nerves on my part!! If I had known it was going to be that good, I would have closed the office and told the team to hear you speak.
I heard great things so I booked Sarah for my top client. She has uncanny ability to not only motivate and inspire, but make her topic relatable to everyone. She was bang on time and bang on point.
Widely acknowledged by everyone as a highly credible leader able to make your experience totally relevant to leadership challenges in the corporate world. Our CEO said you were f….. brilliant.
