Speaking
Building Intentional Relationships

Oftentimes, we wince when we think about networking. When networking is just meeting a bunch of people who are in it for themselves—to promote themselves—it is no fun. We quickly become tired and drained by the networking event instead of feeling energized and excited by it. But there is a better way to network. When we define networking as building mutually beneficial relationships, it changes the game. Instead of networking with people trying to promote themselves, we start networking with people who want to build intentional relationships. In this presentation, you’ll learn how to approach networking with confidence and clarity. You'll discover how to follow up effectively, set relationship-driven goals, and identify meaningful opportunities—all while managing your time and energy with purpose.

“Sarah spoke at our American Business Women's Association meeting and shared key takeaways from her book Building Intentional Relationships: The Secret to Genuine Connection. She reinforced the ideas that authentic connections are built through consistency, care, and follow-through — values that align closely with the work I do every day. Her message was thoughtful and professional and she posed questions to us that engaged conversation among the members. Thank you and well done, Sarah!!"
