When your team can communicate, your team can lead

Your team members who can stand up and speak clearly are the ones who get heard in client meetings, get promoted into leadership, and move the work forward. The ones who can't? Their best ideas stay in their heads.

That's not a talent gap. It's a training gap. And it's one of the highest-leverage things you can fix.
​
Stand Tall offers communication training that your team will actually use not generic public speaking advice, but practical tools for the specific moments they face: client presentations, internal updates, sales pitches, leadership talks, all-hands meetings, the moments where what they say and how they say it matters.

Why teams hire Sara
For more than a decade, Sara has trained teams at companies including Medtronic, Amazon, BMO, Lands' End, SPS Commerce, and Vistage. Her work goes beyond inspiration. She’s a coach who helps people build lasting confidence and communication skills they can rely on in real-world moments.

Her training is:

• Practical. Your team leaves with tools they can use the same week.
• Built around your team. Every session is designed with your team's actual communication moments in mind.
• Honest. Sara gives real feedback, kindly. Your team grows because they're actually being coached, not just talked at.
• Energizing. People come out of Sara's sessions wanting to use what they learned, not exhausted by another training.

StandTall Team Training is a great fit if your team...

• Your team tends to wing it because preparation keeps getting pushed behind daily demands
• Team members know the work so well they often assume clients or stakeholders already understand 
• Nervous energy causes people to speak too quickly, overload information, or lose clarity under pressure
• Presentations become one-sided information dumps instead of engaging conversations
• Your team can sense when meetings or presentations aren’t landing, but they lack a clear strategy to improve them
• People struggle to stay flexible and present in the moment because they’re afraid of losing their place or saying the wrong thing
• You want your team to communicate with greater confidence, clarity, and executive presence while feeling more grounded and authentic when they speak

If any of that sounds like your team, you're in the right place

3 Hour Workshop

A 3-hour interactive workshop, delivered on-site or virtually for up to 15 team members. It's built around the three obstacles that keep people from the front of the room. The workshop equips your team to lead from the front of the room with confidence, whether that's a team meeting, a presentation to leadership, a client pitch, or a keynote.

The Confident Speaker Workshop (as designed) — Sara's proven 3-hour curriculum, delivered as-is. The right choice if you want a high-quality experience without a long lead time, or if your team is mixed enough that a strong general framework serves everyone well.
​
Tailored for your team — The same 3-hour format, tailored to the specific communication moments your team faces most. Sara starts with a discovery conversation to understand your team's audiences, contexts, and challenges, then builds the workshop around what they actually need. The right choice for sales teams, leadership teams, or teams going through change who need training that maps to their reality.

As a speaking coach, Sara was generous and gracious while also grounded and clear. She was able to "catch" my jumbled thoughts, find the through-line and help me create a coherent keynote speech. Throughout our work together, her confidence in me and in her approach was inspiring. I ended up enjoying both the process and the outcome! I'll continue to use what I learned from our work together.

Sara is the person you want beside you as you craft your next talk and prepare to share your message with confidence. I tap into her wisdom every time I need to connect with my audience in a meaningful way. She has a gifted way of helping shift your energy and perspective from having to deliver your talk "right" to finding how to be authentic and allowing the information to flow from your heart rather than your head.
