You – According to Them: Invest In your Success through Self Awareness, Feedback, and Action

Subtle behaviors and unconscious habits could be sabotaging our success, and we simply can’t see it. Sara’s stories are compelling, often funny, and always memorable. This talk enables her audiences to view their career trajectories with surprisingly fresh clarity and renewed purpose.
