I love putting her on stage as a speaker. She’s multi-talented, and real. Where so many others in this business can often feel a little slimy and salesy, Sally brings a heart-centered

"Sally had an outsized impact on the community of presentation professionals who attend our conference. We speak often about the importance of authenticity and then often joke about how people need to learn it and practice it. But Sally simply exudes it; she is just so obviously being herself in front of our audiences. That has been an inspiration to them and makes our jobs easier too. You want to learn how to be authentic? Just watch Sally…
~Rick Altman
event producer of the Presentation Summit
I’m an award-winning speaker and speaker coach, doing my craft for over 20 years. I am passionate about empowering big-hearted entrepreneurs, business owners, and leaders to find the courage and clarity to speak your story in a way that moves audiences (even if you don’t consider yourself a speaker!).
I got started helping people speak confidently when I worked as a speaker and coach for a national youth-serving organization. And let me tell you… speaking to teenagers will teach you so much about your abilities as a speaker, because when you stop delivering engaging content, they stop listening.
Over the years, I have helped hundreds of people write and deliver hundreds of talks (not to mention the hundreds I have delivered for my own audiences!) and I‘ve learned a little secret about what it takes to move your audience.
That little secret?
Your authentic voice and story.
When we show up fully, and speak our story, we move our audience. And when we move our audience, we can move the world.

“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!
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...
conference & event planner
"Sally quickly built rapport with our varied audience. She was keen in acknowledging their anxiety toward public speaking and carefully guided them to practical tips and techniques. She enabled them to have the courage to experience public speaking to "give it a try" as opposed to simply imparting knowledge."
