Speak with confidence from the front of the room! 

At STAND TALL, we believe confident communication isn’t a “nice-to-have” skill—it’s essential to workplace success. Whether your team members are pitching to clients, leading a team meeting, or stepping up to the mic at a company-wide event, their presence at the front of the room shapes how people perceive your organization. 
​
We partner with forward-thinking companies ready to invest in their people. Through dynamic training, practical tools, and real-time coaching, we transform nervous energy into authentic influence. If you're ready to strengthen your team's soft skills, boost retention, and empower your people to own the room, you're in the right place.

MEET SARA CROSS

Sara Cross is the president and founder of STAND TALL, a company that helps build confidence. Her extensive work in business-to-business sales and public speaking training has been developed from her twenty-plus years’ experience presenting to Fortune 500 companies and small to medium-size businesses.

​She is an international speaker, narrative coach, and developer of the “Fearless Speaker” program. She delivers training programs to business leaders who want to lead from the front of the room with more confidence.

Sara’s passion for speaking her truth is evident in her candid approach to communications. Her clients like her fun, spirited, and encouraging personality. She is a champion of bravery and doesn’t just talk the talk. She continually demonstrates confidence building in her work and personal life. You can learn more about her services at STANDTALL.com

WHAT MAKES STAND TALL DIFFERENT? 

Many training programs leave out the ‘being’ portion of confidence and hope that you figure it out in the process. They focus on the ‘doing’ of public speaking and presenting. Their six-step process is only half the picture. I’m interested in what you believe about yourself as a leader? What do you believe about your audience? How does your message make a difference to them? What is the meaning behind what you are saying? If we can uncover these things as well as what your head is telling you in the heat of the moment, we can achieve great results. My goal is always to get ‘you’ to be ‘you’ at the front of the room. When you can do that the technical part of speaking becomes natural.

Get ready to shine

Learning to lead at the front of the room with confidence takes awareness, understanding and experimentation. Working with STAND TALL will help you and your team:
