Do you set big goals but never achieve them? Why is that?
To achieve big goals, we need grit. Relentless pursuit. When we face a setback, we need to find a way to continue. When we error or take a step back, we need to forgive ourselves. We need to give ourselves grace.

I was beyond fortunate to meet the absolutely incredible Sarah Kinlin at a leadership conference last week. From the moment we met, there was this instant spark—her confidence, kindness, and infectious energy made her such a joy to be around! Sarah's presentation on “Feedback as a Gift” was nothing short of brilliant. She delivered it with such grace and insight, leaving everyone in the room feeling inspired to embrace feedback as a powerful tool for growth and self-improvement. Truly, Sarah is a one-of-a-kind person, and connecting with her was without a doubt one of the absolute highlights of the event. I'm so grateful for the experience!

School Assembly 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!
