Sarah Aviram Speaking Topics

  • LEAD YOURSELF FIRST: THE NEW PATH TO PERFORMANCE AND FULFILLMENT

    How can we expect organizations to engage and motivate employees—when most employees don’t even understand what motivates them in the first place? We ask people to align, collaborate, and perform, but rarely give them the space or tools to get clear on what truly drives them.

    Most companies try to fix disengagement from the outside in—with new tools, goals, or perks. But you can’t spark real engagement with surface solutions when people have lost touch with what matters to them at their core.

    In this powerful and practical keynote, Sarah Aviram shares the missing link in employee engagement: helping people reconnect with their internal drivers—so they can lead themselves, contribute more meaningfully, and perform at their best.

    Through research-backed insights and captivating stories from living in 12 countries in 12 months, Sarah introduces the six core motivators that fuel fulfillment and effectiveness at work. Whether you’re leading others or leading yourself, this talk will give you the clarity and tools to turn motivation into momentum.

    AUDIENCE TAKEAWAYS:

    • A clear understanding of the six core motivators that drive performance, fulfillment, and engagement.
    • Insight into why most engagement strategies fall short—and how to fix it from the inside out.
    • Practical tools to create more meaningful, motivating work for yourself and your team.

  • CHANGE RESILIENCE: THE MISSING LINK IN LEADING THROUGH UNCERTAINTY

    In a world of constant transformation, leaders are often tasked with navigating change they didn’t choose—yet are expected to lead others through it with clarity and confidence. Traditional change management strategies focus on enhancing external structures and processes. But sustainable resilience starts from the inside.

    In this keynote, Sarah Aviram reveals the overlooked connection between change leadership and personal motivation: how clarity about what drives us—at a core human level—can be the most powerful tool in navigating ambiguity, influencing others, and creating momentum.

    Through compelling stories from living and working in 12 countries in 12 months, and grounded in organizational psychology, Sarah shares six core motivators that shape how we respond to change, make decisions, and lead during uncertainty. This talk goes beyond standard models to help leaders not just manage change, but inspire through it—with deeper self-awareness, alignment, and influence.

    AUDIENCE TAKEAWAYS:

    • A new lens on change: how internal motivation affects our ability to lead and adapt during organizational shifts.
    • A practical framework for identifying and activating the six core motivators that drive decision-making, engagement, and clarity.
    • Tools to stay grounded and influence others— even when the change isn’t in your control.
