SPEAKING TOPIC #1

The Clarity Gap:
Turn Motion
Into Momentum

On paper, you and your organization are in constant motion, but you’re paying an invisible work tax. It’s a hidden drain on energy and profit that leaves even high-performers feeling like they’re running on fumes.

SPEAKING TOPIC #2

Dominate Your Day:
Stop Being Busy and
Leave Burnout Behind

Here’s the truth: You can be a hustler and still not be productive. Ouch, right? That’s how I felt too when I realized that my proverbial hamster wheel wasn’t getting me anywhere.

SPEAKING TOPIC #1

The Clarity Gap:
Turn Motion Into Momentum

5 TRUTHS

  • 1 The Clarity Gap is the space between what leadership says matters and what people actually work on day to day.
  • 2 When priorities are fuzzy, everything feels urgent.
  • 3 The Clarity Gap is expensive. It shows up as “invisible work.”
  • 4 Most burnout is a clarity issue.
  • 5 Closing the Clarity Gap improves execution fast because it creates shared priorities, faster decisions, and clear ownership.

Clarity Creates Momentum.

We’ve all seen it: a room full of brilliant, committed people working 50+ hour weeks, yet your most critical plans are dying on the vine. Calendars are packed and inboxes are overflowing, but at the end of the quarter, the needle hasn’t moved on the work that actually matters. On paper, you and your organization are in constant motion, but you’re paying an invisible work tax. It’s a hidden drain on energy and profit that leaves even high-performers feeling like they’re running on fumes.

It’s natural to think the answer is more “hustle,” better apps, or personal discipline but those are band-aids for a modern workplace crisis. Because the real problem isn’t a lack of effort; it’s The Clarity Gap – the broken path between strategy and execution. It’s the gap between what leaders decide in the boardroom and what the team is actually doing.

In this transformative keynote, Sarah Ohanesian reframes productivity and positions clarity as your organization’s ultimate competitive advantage.

SPEAKING TOPIC #2

Dominate Your Day:
Stop Being Busy and Leave Burnout Behind

 

5 TRUTHS

  • 1 You don’t have to be busy. It’s about being productive.
  • 2 It’s not “them” – you are in control of your own time.
  • 3 Busy blinds you.
  • 4 You can stop overworking yourself now. Don’t wait.
  • 5 You have to prioritize your time first. You have permission to do that.

Busy isn’t sexy, but having purpose is.

Take a momentary break from the compulsory need to clear your email inbox, pause the personal development podcast telling you how to biohack your sleep, and honestly ask yourself: “Am I dominating my day, or is my day dominating me?” In a no holds barred, give-it-to-me straight kind of way, what would you say?

In this talk, I empower audiences to take back control of their personal and professional lives by shifting their mindset from being busy to pursuing purpose.

Drawing from my own toxic relationship with busyness as well as the testimonies from top-level executives I’ve consulted, I engage audiences with 5 game-changing truths that RELEASE them from the busyness trap.

Harnessing these truths alongside my productivity system, COAT, I teach audiences how to reset our relationship with busyness and discover fulfillment where productivity flows.

Brain geniuses who get it.

“Sarah gave an amazing presentation that was not only insightful but impactful. We walked away with tangible takeaways we could put into use immediately. Her ‘COAT’ method is an easy system that can be put into place whether you are an entrepreneur or in corporate life. Brilliant.”
