Highest rated talk of the whole event!

She engaged with our 500 plus audience in a way that was both entertaining and instructive, having the highest NPS from our post-event feedback!”

One of the fastest-selling workshops!
“Sarah’s Rapid Research for Product People was one of the most popular workshops at INDUSTRY: The Product Conference in 2019. While it was a late addition to INDUSTRY, it ended up becoming one of the fastest-selling workshops of the entire conference.
Attendees rated Sarah and her workshop so highly that we can’t wait to work with her again in the future.”

People don’t need more information, they need help taking action.
I design my talks and workshops be actionable, so attendees can leave with tangible things to do, not surface-level information to try and sift through.
