We need to be resilient and stay positive for the future. You were immensely helpful. Thanks again!”

“Sarah gave a presentation on Optimism, Resilience, and Grit to our SHRM Chapter Group - HR Assoc of Southern Maine. Sarah was a pleasure to work with throughout the planning part of the presentation, as well as well prepared and a wonderful and knowledgeable speaker. She was engaging and dynamic and got the whole room involved on a topic that is very important! We had a great discussion and thoroughly enjoyed welcoming Sarah to our chapter. We hope she'll be back! Thank you, Sarah!

“I just wanted to take a moment and thank you, and tell you how much I enjoyed your presentation at Tuesday's GNHRA lunch. The topic was something I believe all of us in HR hold near and dear to our hearts - but beyond that, the presentation itself was very engaging. A good presenter/speaker can make the most boring of topics interesting, and although your topic was not boring, I believe you could do just that. An optimistic attitude, resilience and grit were the 3 primary components to my "survival" -- you clearly hit the nail on the head!”
