Currently booking speaking engagements and workshops for 2026.

Bring real, practical business help to your audience.

I'm Sara - and I love teaching small business owners the stuff that actually moves the needle. AI tools, tech, marketing, systems, and how to stop drowning in your own business.

Sara speaking and training small business owners

Why book me.

I'm not a keynote speaker who flies in, drops a polished talk, and disappears. I'm a working business owner who's in the trenches every single day with small businesses just like the ones in your audience. That means my talks aren't theory - they're the exact tools, prompts, and systems I use with my clients and at my own desk every week.

Your audience walks away with practical takeaways they can use Monday morning, not vague inspiration that fades by lunch.

Topics I love talking about.

🤖

AI for Small Business Owners

The real-world AI tools, prompts, and workflows small business owners can actually use - without needing a tech background or a giant budget. (One of my most-requested topics.)

💻

Tech & Systems That Save You Hours

From CRMs to automations to the simple swaps that give you back your evenings. Built for non-techy business owners.

📱

Social Media for Local Businesses

What actually works when you're a small or local business - not what works for influencers with a million followers.

📋

Delegating, Scaling & Stepping Out of the Day-to-Day

The mindset shift and the practical playbook for handing off the work that's keeping you stuck.
