1. GULP! The Power of Stepping Beyond Your Comfort Zone
It's natural to settle for comfort and familiarity. The result? Stagnation, missed opportunities, and untapped potential. In this inspiring keynote, adventurer, professional risk manager and risk-taker, Sarah, shares the stories from her expeditions and her year of Gulps: doing 52 things in 52 weeks that would take her into the unknown, uncertain, or uncomfortable. The goal was to make being out of her comfort zone a familiar place.
Audiences walk away inspired to act boldly, step out of their comfort zones, armed with practical tools to take their own gulps and move from hesitation to embracing new possibilities
2. RISK SMART: Embrace Uncertainty to Lead and Live Boldly
Uncertainty is part of life, but now it feels amplified with the lack of predictability, clarity, or control over situations. The instinct can be to retreat, minimise exposure, and stick with what feels safe. But this defensive approach limits innovation and holds organisations back. In this keynote, Sarah reframes risk as a force for progress, drawing on her corporate expertise and experiences navigating unpredictable expeditions.
She provides practical strategies to assess and embrace risk so leaders and individuals can make bolder decisions and thrive in uncertain times.
3. THE BOLD MINDSET: Curiosity, Courage and Antifragility
In a world of constant change and uncertainty, many people react with fear, resistance, or avoidance, doing everything they can to cling to the familiar. The result is missed opportunities, untapped potential, and a sense of going through the motions rather than embracing change and challenge and gaining the growth that comes with it.
In this keynote, Sarah reveals three traits that create a bold mindset: curiosity, courage, and antifragility. She shares how they help us navigate change and uncertainty. Through powerful stories and practical tools, she shows how to build a mindset that embraces challenge as fuel for growth. The result: individuals are more adaptive, confident, and deliberate in pursuing bold opportunities.
