Engage and Impact Program
Gain higher levels of dynamism, connection and impact when you present or speak.
Who’s it for
‘Engage and Impact’ is for you if you’re a competent professional or business owner and recognise yourself here:
- You need to actively connect and engage to change opinions and get action from presentations, conversations or meetings – regardless of organisational position.
- You’re expected to perform, and you do a great job – but sometimes don’t feel that your ideas ‘land’. You know, or suspect, that you’re not having the impact you hope, despite your efforts.
- You’re in a new role where you’re seen as an expert and need to demonstrate this.
- You might be an emerging leader or mid-career professional and want to learn new skills or refine current ones. To speak to new or bigger audiences, or market and position your business for greater visibility and success.
- You’re looking for an edge: new strategies and tools to elevate your skillset and craft. Whether that’s storytelling, delivery skills, contrast, slide improvement. We can do any of these areas and more.
Why ‘Engage and Impact’ Matters
We all know how much the world has changed. And the way people communicate is changing too.
There’s so much noise! And the sheer volume of information makes clarity and cut through with teams, peers or stakeholders even harder.
New frameworks like BANI—Brittle, Anxious, Non-linear, and Incomprehensible—have emerged to capture current complexities.
There’s a lot going on, and you need to be agile, adaptable and authentic to cut through.
Through the coaching, you’ll embed being comfortable, engaging and impactful whenever you communicate:
- Giving presentations or speeches
- Speaking internally to your team or employees
- Facilitating or participating fully in meetings
- During 1:1 conversations
- On panels, videos, committees, podcasts etc.
The focus and ratio are tailored for your own goals.
And much of the coaching process is driven by you and the context and content you’re choosing to focus on.
This program is ideal for you if:
- You’re serious about improving.
- You don’t want a one-size-fits-all approach.
- You’re open to learning and dedicating time to improve your communication.
This program is not ideal for you if:
- You’re not able to find the time or focus to test new skills and ideas.
- You’re closed off to trying something different or being challenged.
Combining confidence, engagement and impact gives you these results:
Competence
Feel confident and capable when you present or communicate. Access the confidence/competence loop, where your mind and body are happily in sync.
Adaptability
No matter who you’re speaking to – across, up or down if you’re in a workplace – you can comfortably adapt your style and skills.
Reach
Belief that you can speak to anyone and effectively connect and get results. Stepping up, being heard and standing out are all available to you.

What my clients are saying
I encourage anyone looking to develop their interpersonal skills to reach out to Sarah. I cannot recommend her Speaker’s Confluence program enough as it’s helped me gain the confidence and skills to have more engaging interactions.
She has the ability to tailor courses to your specific needs so you can target and hone specific skills rather than a generic overview. 10/10 recommend!

I had a great experience working with Sarah over the last couple of months on the public speaking and executive communication skills. Sarah’s knowledge of the field is extensive, and she continuously went the extra mile to address my specific questions. Looking forward to working with Sarah in the future.

Sarah is an extraordinarily effective speaking coach. I’ve had multiple coaching sessions with her, and every time, gain learning that’s translated into noticeable impact in my presentations.
Before coming to Sarah I already had a fair bit of experience. Sarah listened intently to my goals, asked amazing questions for clarity, then workshopped with feedback as I practiced.
This was both inspiring and encouraging – she drew out strengths to double-down on, and highlighted areas I can improve, and different ways audiences could interpret my message.
Sarah truly cares, and the quality and quantity of feedback made a significant difference for me. An expert in her craft, amazing insights, and a supportive, effective coach.
I’d highly recommend her to anyone who wants to find their unique voice and style.
