Biography
Sara works with a passion for helping leaders and teams understand and achieve their peak performance potential. She has enjoyed a long, entrepreneurial career in technology, marketing / advertising, strategic ops and organizational learning and change. Red Currant Collective was originally created in 2019 as a hub for Sara’s creative and collaborative projects, and relaunched in 2021 as an agent of change in a work world that desperately needs rethinking.
As a consultant, coach and changemaker, Sara draws on her training as a lawyer, coach, conflict resolution / mediation professional and communicator. Her work draws on well-honed expertise in adult learning, instructional design, marketing and leading strategic and operational teams through change at some of the largest global enterprises in the world. Her highest and best use is in high-stakes, high-consequence work.
She's also a performance motorcyclist, and co-owns Counter Weight Motorsport and CW Moto Racing with her husband, Chris. She hosts The Moto Curious Podcast about her riding life (and, to answer questions from motorcycle-curious listeners).
