Audience Testimonial
Kelly, Teacher
Sarah came to my school and gave a motivational speech on Leadership. Somehow in a gym with a couple hundred grade 4-8 students she was able to make a personal connection to each and everyone. Each student left the assembly feeling empowered with a least one way they could be a leader in their own life. Even parents who attended commented on what a great speaker Sarah was and how sharing her personal experiences with everyone was both touching and uplifting. I hope Sarah can have a chance to come back soon!
