Why Sara Thompson?
Sara is passionate about Powerful Leadership Presenceā¢.
Powerful Leadership Presence⢠is created through self-discovery as a means of achieving awareness of our unique strengths and gifts. We are all distinctively different, and it is only through our ability to take advantage of our strengths do we gain authenticity and power as leaders.
Sara works with senior leaders and teams who are willing to take a stand and be visible about making positive and sustainable change. These are the leaders who will step up to help organizations to retain good people during a time when the shortage of talented professionals is truly alarming.
Leadership Power is the ability to influence, to be collaborative, to engage and foster commitment among team members. Presence is manifested in our self-awareness, conscious competence and knowledge of our unique strengths and gifts.
Every one of us has a unique fingerprint of strengths. When we embody these strengths with confidence, our presence becomes most powerful.
Personal Power
“Power arises from meaning. It has to do with motive and principle. It appeals to that part of human nature we call noble in contrast to force. Force creates counterforce. Power appeals to what uplifts, dignifies and ennobles.”

Personal Presence
“Presence is connected to mastery of ‘being’. It is about helping people to move their mastery of ‘being’ from unconscious competence to conscious competence. Inner calm attracts others to us. We gain the distinct sense that we are growing to become more uniquely and authentically ourselves. Qualities of character flow through us more often and more naturally.”
