Coaching
I work with clients to meet a broad spectrum of communication needs. These might include:
Building a strategic communications plan.
Brainstorming a new public relations campaign.
Distilling a framework for an institutional, brand, or product narrative.
Crafting pitches for media outreach.
Preparing a key presentation.
Advancing public speaking and engagement skills.
I coach clients to diagnose their communication challenges, think holistically about the needs of their target audience, and develop a thoughtful strategy tailored to their goals.
Whether you are exploring a new idea or refining a deliverable, I can help you improve your communications in any context using effective storytelling techniques and integrated communication strategies.
“Sara has helped me clarify my nascent ideas into clear, concise, and effective communication strategy. She’s expert at identifying the most compelling and meaningful ideas within an in-progress idea and honing in on them. I’ve come to her often with a project that I’m struggling with, and she’s helped me get un-stuck a number of times. On top of everything else, she is a joy to work with. If you need to tell stories with or about science better, you need to talk with Sara.”
Workshop Design and Facilitation Training
Do you want to learn how to run your own workshops? I can coach you on best practices that will suit your program needs, whether in person or online.
If you are looking to build your own workshop specifically on communication skills, I can also provide you with some non-proprietary content covering best practices to help you get started. We will also work together during the coaching session to customize your content to meet the needs of your target audience.
“The experience was excellent. Sara prepared and guided us through a proposal for our workshop while helping us customize the content based on our needs. Thanks to Sara’s organization, dedication, and attention to detail, we will be able to run our own workshops immediately.”
