Sarah Porter, PhD's Linkedin Analytics

I help individuals and organizations thrive. Bringing together my subject matter expertise in human behavior and brain science, my passion for teaching, and my experience in the corporate and nonprofit sectors, I am the founder of a training and consulting practice focused on sharing science-backed strategies that increase effectiveness, engagement, and - above all - well-being. If you're looking for an energizing virtual keynote speaker, a dynamic trainer, or an experienced facilitator for your next work session, let's talk. To give you a sense of how I can help, here are a few snapshots of recent projects: 📸 A Fortune 500 client was struggling with setting boundaries within their culture of "nice." Team members would default to saying yes, end up overstretched, and sometimes underdeliver. They brought me in to lead a series of trainings and work sessions to empower their teams to say no - to one another, to business partners, to customers - in a way that actually built trust in those relationships and led to big boosts in performance, innovation, and morale. 📸 Like all of us, another client realized that their organization was experiencing collective burnout, especially as they adjusted to remote work, navigated the uncertainty and loss of the pandemic, and felt the weight of the myriad other stressors we face. They asked me to teach their team about resilience: how to not just bounce back from disappointment or failure, but bounce forward. Folks shared that they left my training with renewed hope and a personalized repertoire of skills they could put into practice immediately. 📸 And just last month, a client reported that they had a leadership pipeline issue: Many candidates for management positions either lacked presentation skills or avoided applying altogether because of fears about public speaking. They had brought in another trainer to teach people how to create compelling slide decks, which was great but didn’t tackle the underlying problem: public speaking anxiety. I came in with evidence-based strategies that helped people feel more confident about their presentation skills and pursue high-visibility opportunities.
