Sara Wachter-Boettcher Reviews

  • The event was INCREDIBLE! And Sara was absolutely fantastic - she was polished, thoughtful, and authentic. Honestly the whole thing, it was a really refreshing viewpoint, and made me motivated to make change happen at Capital One. This was genuinely extremely helpful and motivating. I've been feeling a lot of the binaries that Sara talked about and have definitely had that lead to inaction and paralysis and made me worry that I am not doing my job well. It was such a relief to hear that these binaries are things that many others are feeling and I loved that she offered so many good ways to shift our perspective. Honestly it was so motivating! The content was candid and not judgmental. Allowing everyone to look at their own biases and wonder what we can all do differently. This was an amazing combination of critical content and flawless delivery. Thank you for bringing this to us.
