Sarah transforms lives.
With a dynamic mix of storytelling, humor, research-based insights, audience interaction, and actionable takeaways, I deliver experiences that resonate with parents and move them from dread to hope and excitement. From auditoriums to intimate workshops or virtual events, I create an experience uniquely suited to your needs and in sync with your school's philosophies.
Middle school is the start of an epic journey. If parents learn just a little bit about what this journey is all about, they can see the possibilities in front of them and learn how to peek 'under the hood' to uncover needs, empathize with behaviors, seize opportunities, and partner with teachers to become the genius companion their tween needs on the wild ride between childhood and adulthood.
"Middle schoolers are the ultimate underdogs in our world. They get so little help for the wild transformation of adolescence that they experience. They are given low expectations, told they are hormonal, and often placed in learning experiences that are out of sync with their developmental needs. But when you begin to change any of these variables, you start to see them as they truly are:
engaged, curious, strange, questioning, evolving at an almost unbelievable pace.
Trustworthy, respect-worthy, eager to show what they can do, ready to hold responsibility.
They are on an epic adventure, one of the truly great ones in our lives".
