Helping you break all the rules, slow down, and win more
Prepare for some sass, a lot of puns and reflection as I challenge the status quo of very serious topics that affect your life, your leadership and the way you do business.

Change the way you think, feel and act
Todayโs world moves at unparalleled speed and weโve all been sold on โbeing busy,โ but whatโs the real cost โ and is it effective?
When you move too fast, youโre constantly in crisis mode and unable to act decisively or lead effectively. Too caught up in hurry mode, opportunities are missed, relationships frayed and business feels like a hamster wheel with no chance to exit.
Learn the secret superpower that business programs worldwide forgot to mention, and hit your targets without sacrificing health, performance, safety or your sanity. All you need is a one-degree shift in perspective to gain exponential results.
Break all the rules, slow down and win more.

About Your Speaker
Who, or what, is Sarah-the-Pivoter?
Hey, I’m Sarah. Master Pivoter. Corporate Escapee. Philosophical Explorer. Podcast Host. Published Author and Poet. The go-getting girl always up for adventure… My motto is YES, And!ย
I always wanted to ace life. Olympic focused figure skating training took drive and dedication โ probably the perfect primer for my entry into the business aviation industry. The pay? The perks? I loved it all. The spins, the falls? I was high on the adrenaline. It’s been a wild ride.
I spent 15 years surfing the waves of exec living and training others how to ace it too. And, slowly I discovered that my version of success had changed. In fact, it continues to evolve.
Yes, the grit, determination and drive got me a good part of the way. But I’ve learned that real success โ true, lasting, sustainable success โ comes from something far more extraordinary and simple.
Choosing significance, every day. As a leader. As a friend. As a human being.
I believe a speech has the power to change the world and the people in it. I’ll help your audience reach the insights needed for inspired action, long after the event concludes. It may not look at all how you picture it right now, but isn’t discovery the ultimate adventure? What if it isย even betterย than you ever imagined?
A little not-so-humble brag never hurt anyone
