“Sara, one of the top rated speakers for an Apex training program, is an expert storyteller who captivates her audience with stories from her wealth of experiences. She is relatable and inspirational as she teaches lessons on leadership that are applicable in the professional and personal dimensions. She is soft spoken but impactful as she allows the audience to see challenges through a different lens. I highly recommend Sara as a speaker.”

Michele McCauley, CHRO, Principal, Apex Systems

“Sara is dynamic.  Recently, I heard her present at a Fortune 500 company in Richmond, Virginia.  Her unique perspectives as a West Point Cadet, Army Officer and corporate leader provided practical advice relevant in today’s work environment.  She challenged management to actively recognize, develop and utilize oft overlooked diverse talent.”

Catherine M. Hundley, Colonel (Retired), US Army Nurse; Past President, Families of the Wounded Fund, Inc.

“We had the opportunity to have Sara Potecha Keynote our annual Leadership Summit. As an event producer, working with Sara was a delight. Her industry research leading up to the event was impressive. She was able to customize the message with her focus on the audience needs. She took all the complexity out of designing a memorable experience for our national audience. People left our summit inspired to do more. We look forward to working with Sara again on future projects.”

Patrick Antrim, Founder & CEO Multifamily Leadership 

“Sara presented to the 1,700 members of our Women’s and Veteran’s employee resource groups offering her expertise on topics of leadership (both military and corporate) and change management.  Sara customized her content to fit a company theme and initiative of “embracing change”.  We continued to build on her one-time event by incorporating book clubs of her book, West Point Woman throughout the Company, which continued the learning, conversations, and growth of others.  I enjoyed reading Sara’s book.  The thoughtfulness she put into her writing is the same level of thoughtfulness that went into her presentation.”

Alison M. Kaufmann, Communication Consultant, Dominion Energy

“Sara recently spoke at our 5th Annual IWL Women’s Leadership Conference in Louisville, and we heard such great feedback that we invited her to come up to our 10th Annual Conference in Indianapolis this fall. We heard personal comments from attendees that her session was not only engaging, but gave them the confidence and tools to take the next step in writing their own life story. If you book Sara for an event, you can be sure that she will not just deliver a fabulous session, but do everything in her power to support the mission of your organization as well.”

Anna Rauh, Marketing Communications and Event Coordinator, IWL Foundation

“Sara combined a powerfully relevant mix of personal growth and development during a period of great transition in an institution steeped heavily in tradition along with timely examples, data and metrics highlighting the value of driving diversity and inclusion in today’s leading organizations. We are grateful for her tailored approach to the presentation as well as the book itself, with a forward from our CEO. Take a moment to run in her shoes!”

Shane Olson, Chair, Dominion Energy Veterans Resource Group

“Sara did a superb job using her story telling to weave together the five imperatives for leading change. Our Chief Clinical Officers walked away with practical and applicable tips for managing change as leaders. Thanks Sara!”
