GETTING THROUGH THE FIRST 3 MINUTES (HANDLING SPEAKING ANXIETY)
"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 skipped out on stage as Uncle Albert in the summer school's production of Mary Poppins. (Yep, Uncle Albert!) I'll never forget the moment when they laughed... Not at me (although, let's be real, some people were probably doing that!) - but with me! I had delighted the audience - and I was hooked.
That feeling? - of taking a risk and experiencing the reward? It set me on a path of continuing to step into these "big" moments, believing it would be worth it - like a TEDx Talk, a National Championship speech, my College Commencement speech, auditioning and acting for theater productions and traveling the country speaking to teenagers (talk about risk and reward!).
Even with all that experience - I still get nervous. I still wonder if I have what it takes. I still sometimes feel unworthy of the big moments I've created for myself, or been invited into.
Because - whether we're standing on a big stage or simply finding the courage to take that next big business leap - those big moments can have powerful ripple effects in our business - or in our lives - and they often require us to tap into a part of ourselves we've never shown before...
It takes courage to to leap! So my passion is speaking to high-potential dreamers to help them overcome their self-doubt, own their authentic voice and courageously take the leaps that will move their audience - and the world.

keynote topic
SOLVE THE SELF-DOUBT SPIRAL
how to do bigger, braver, and bolder things -
FASTER (even when you’re sure you can’t).
Most people believe that only certain special (and elite!) people have what it takes to - launch that idea - lead that meeting - make that goal - write that book! - get on the big stage! - or [fill in the blank for whatever dream YOU have]!...
Nope! - It’s not true. But it definitely feels that way.
After twenty years of walking side-by-side with hundreds of leaders and entrepreneurs of all stripes in the biggest ‘leap’ moments of their careers - there is no innate talent or “x factor” that determines someone’s success. The difference between those who DO - and those who “want to, BUT…” is one - simple - thing.
Turns out - we don't need permission, or to have a huge following, or to research and learn until we feel totally, 100%, perfect-proof ready. But we DO need to practice the art of #showupanyway.
Because on the other side of that leap are more opportunities - more impact - more growth - and more fulfillment. No more sitting on the sidelines!
In this interactive, dynamic and high-energy keynote, Sally will help you unlock what’s holding you back so you can shift from self-doubt into confident action, and take intentional steps toward making your next dream come true.
Are you ready? (You are!)
Takeaways
Unlock the key difference in thinking that can unleash even the most hesitant risk-taker (and turn them into a DO-er!)
Identify the specific "delay" that's holding you back from your next big, transformative risk - and what to do instead.
Learn a simple framework to #showupanyway - and move through the sometimes debilitating fear that’s keeping you stuck -and keeping you small.
KEY AUDIENCES: leaders, entrepreneurs, sales & external leaders, thought leaders and subject matter experts… anyone who wants to stop waiting, and start doing.
YOUR PLAYING SMALL DOES NOT SERVE THE WORLD.
keynote topic
AUTHENTICITY IN THE BIG MOMENTS
FINDING THE COURAGE TO 'BE YOU' WHEN EVERY INSTINCT SCREAMS "HIDE!"
“Being ourselves” in the big moments sounds easy, but we know it's not.
We cross our fingers and hope that when the heart-pounding moment comes along (the chat with the boss, the pitch, an interview, meeting someone new - even sometimes raising our hands in the meeting!), we'll show up confidently and not be betrayed by our adrenaline-filled body or a racing mind full of unhelpful thoughts. Even the most “confident” of people sometimes feel like they need to "be someone else" to be taken seriously or to have a real impact.
There's a better way! Those high-stakes, big-time moments? They require us to show up fully, grounded in our authentic voice and being. Turns out - we don't need to "fake it until we make it." We don't need to feel like imposters. But we DO need to practice the art of #showingupanyway and risking through it all. Are you ready? (You are.)
In this insightful, empowering, and fun keynote, Sally will share stories and strategies to help you BE YOU in the biggest of moments (when we're most convinced we can't)
Takeaways
Discover the thing that makes you you, so you can take intentional and authentic action
Identify what’s holding you back from your next big, transformative risk - and what to do about it
Learn a simple 3-step framework to #showupanyway- to help you be more ‘you’ in the big moments, and stay grounded in your authentic spark.
KEY AUDIENCES: entrepreneurs, leaders of all kinds, anyone who wants to move their audience
IT’S SIMPLE - BUT NOT EASY.

THE PERSUASION PLAYBOOK
Leveraging the magic of speaking your story to move your audience and make a bigger impact.
STORYTELLING IS ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL TOOLS available to anyone who has the courage to yield it.. The problem is:
we don't know how!
It’s not just about being less boring. Without story, your pitch will fall flat. Your customer will care less. Your audience will walk away - all hitting your bottom line. The thing is? - there are some simple shifts that can make all the difference, empowering you to show up with a story-based message, with ease and confidence.
In this interactive, delightful, and engaging keynote, Sally breaks down the myths of storytelling in business and leadership - and shares a simple approach to leveraging this magical and persuasive tool.
Takeaways
Learn about the brain's specific readiness for the power of story (and why it’s worth it)
Identify the key shift we have to make as leaders in order to more powerfully persuade and influence
Discover 3 simple and powerful strategies that will help you serve your "audience" (whoever that might be) - and lead with story.
keynote topic
YOU (yes, you!) BELONG ON STAGE
Transform your approach to public speaking so you can have a bigger impact (even if you hate it with the force of a thousand suns)
THE POWER POSITION OF SPEAKING IS WAITING FOR YOU.
Will you listen to that little voice inside that says you are worthy of the moment?
Standing on the sidelines is costing you - and it doesn’t have to be that way. Maybe you've had the dream inside you for awhile (even if you've hardly admitted to yourself). Or maybe it's only something you admire from afar.
Either way - speaking is an essential component of your business-building, lead generation, and growing revenue. Going live on Instagram. Course videos. Interviews. Panels. Podcast guesting and hosting. Workshops. Summits. Virtual trainings. Keynotes! (Etc.!) Every single one of these moments is a “stage”, and an essential part of the life of an entrepreneur, thought leader - or subject matter expert - and you (yes, you!) belong there (even if you HATE it and would never call yourself a speaker)! Why? Because without stepping out onto the many “stages” we have access to - you are missing out on the authority, the impact, and the revenue that comes with it. And more importantly - your audience is missing out on you!
In this session, after providing practical strategies to make it real, Sally will convince you that not only do you belong on stage -but you might actually enjoy it!
Takeaways
Identify and discard the myths that keep people from using their voice and stepping into leadership
Discover the basics of persuasion theory - and how to use it in your everyday work
Create a "2-minute Talk" with a simple persuasion framework that leverages persuasion theory and helps you more easily move your "audience" (whoever that might be)!
She makes speaking FUN. Believe it or not - Sally believes that speaking (yes, speaking) can be joyful. She knows that many people take speaking too seriously - so she brings the ‘fun’ so others can, too.

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...
