As an award-winning speaker, best-selling author, coach and expert on the art of bravery - you'd think I'd have it all figured out. But every single thing mentioned in this bio was figured out through a lot of FEAR, and just enough brave action to take the next step towards what I want. Sometimes that's all it takes. And it's my mission to empower people to move from the sidelines to the spotlight - at work, on stage, and in life - and unleash the transformative power of #showupanyway. After 25+ years of honing my craft, I create & curate experiences that move audiences - freeing your authentic, clear, and courageous ideas that will not just move your audience - but in the process,
move you.

I have had the great privilege of having spoken in front of thousands of people - coached hundreds of leaders - and empowered countless ‘moving moments’ in that powerful connection between speaker and audience. I am also the host of This Moved Me, a top 2% podcast about the art of public speaking, best-selling author of the book Speaking Story, and producer & host of the beloved Permission Slip Conference.
From the boardroom to the biggest of stages -
be brave, and be moved.

AND I AM A

Hi! I'm Sally

"PROFESSIONAL NUDGER"

keynote audience member

“WOW! Sally’s authentic self shining through all this great material was amazing to witness! This was the best 30 minutes I have ever spent!

Sally actually makes me WANT to speak in public and present! She is such an amazing presence, her presentation was so insightful and refreshing! Made me feel ok with myself when speaking. First session of the day, and my day is already made!”

WORKSHOP PARTICIPANT

My favorite is still Sally’s content and learning how to be authentic in my presentations....

I have had a lot of people coach me on presenting and I always felt I was less myself after each of those “coaching sessions” and coming out of Sally’s I will be throwing away all the advice I got over the years...

Since STS, I've booked 11 gigs! So exciting. And from those events, I've booked more coaching clients. So grateful for Sally's guidance and expertise.

And she's just a joy to be with!
