Are you ready?

Confidence is achievable when we make ourselves courageous and vulnerable by stepping into fear.

Anyone can be taught to hold their own at the front of the room.

It’s not a right reserved for the privileged few.

It’s starts with a dare. A dare to be more and STAND TALL.

If you are ready to raise your hand and take the dare to step toward the front of the room, then our

coaching and training programs are a great fit.

Together, we will customize your next steps in leading and presenting at the front of the room. 

Ready to lead from the front of the room with confidence?

Meet Sara Cross, PCC

Executive Coach, Speaker, and Trainer

Hello. I'm Sara Cross, the proud Owner and President of STAND TALL, a confidence building company. I am driven by what fires me up most. It’s all those times you had something to say and didn’t raise your hand, all the moments you needed to speak up but kept quiet, and each time you resisted heading to the front of the room because you couldn’t find the strength. The cost is too high, and the world needs your ideas, your voice, and your bravery.
