The juggle and the Struggle
The future of how we think and behave.
In today’s fast-paced world, most of us are stuck in a cycle: juggling endless tasks, ticking off to-do lists, and wondering why we still feel overwhelmed, unproductive, or disconnected. We’ve normalised struggle mode—but it doesn’t have to be this way.
In this high-impact keynote, Sarah explores the critical role mindset plays in how we operate, lead, and live. Because it’s not more tools or time we need—it’s a shift in how we think.
With practical insights backed by neuroscience and relatable storytelling drawn from her own life and work with organisations, Sarah breaks down why traditional skill-based training is no longer enough—and how mindset development is the missing link to sustainable performance, engagement and wellbeing.
This keynote is perfect for organisations looking to create lasting behaviour change, elevate leadership capability, and reduce stress and burnout across the board.
In this keynote, your audience will:
- Understand why mindset drives 90% of outcomes—and how to shift it to improve performance, focus and fulfilment
- Learn how to break the burnout cycle and create sustainable success by working smarter, not harder
- Walk away with practical tools to shift behaviour, build resilience and lead with clarity and intention
Work Hard Parent Hard
The key to balance as a modern working parent.
Modern working parents are doing more than ever—but at what cost?
With blurred boundaries, rising expectations, and the pressure to “do it all,” burnout is becoming the norm. In this empowering and practical keynote, Sarah unpacks the mindset shifts that help working parents move beyond survival mode and step into a more sustainable, fulfilling version of success—both at home and at work.
Drawing from her own experience as a career-driven mum of three, and her work with organisations across Australia, Sarah combines research, story and strategy to support parents in redefining balance and taking back control.
This session is ideal for organisations that want to support working parents beyond flexibility policies—and instead equip them with the mindset tools and behavioural strategies to thrive.
In this keynote, your audience will:
- Discover why mindset—not time—is the true key to balance and how to redefine success on their own terms
- Identify and shift the hidden beliefs that fuel burnout, overwhelm and guilt in modern working parents
- Walk away with practical tools to manage energy, set boundaries and lead both at work and at home with intention
The future of fatherhood
The key shift that will transform behaviours for generations.
The role of fathers is evolving—but our systems, expectations, and beliefs haven’t quite caught up. In a world where balance feels out of reach and success often comes at the cost of family connection, it’s time for a new conversation—one that starts with mindset.
In this engaging and interactive keynote, Sarah explores how shifting our internal beliefs and behaviours can not only improve our own wellbeing—but drive broader cultural and organisational change. Because when fathers are empowered to challenge outdated norms, we create healthier workplaces, stronger families, and a more equitable future for everyone.
This keynote invites participants to reflect on what success really looks like, uncover limiting beliefs, and learn practical strategies to lead differently—at home and at work.
Perfect for organisations committed to inclusion, leadership development, and future-focused thinking, this session speaks directly to the modern father and the systems that shape them.
- Uncover the impact of unconscious bias and outdated norms—and how they shape expectations around fatherhood and success
- Explore the role men play in advancing gender equity—and how personal choices can drive cultural and organisational change
- Walk away with practical tools and mindset strategies to lead with greater clarity, purpose and connection—at work and at home
Stereotypes and Biases
To create more progressive, inclusive workplaces.
We all want inclusive workplaces—but achieving them takes more than policies and tick-box training. Real inclusion starts with awareness, mindset, and a willingness to challenge the unconscious biases and outdated social norms that quietly shape the way we work, lead and relate to others.
In this honest and thought-provoking keynote, Sarah unpacks the subtle yet powerful impact of bias, stereotypes and traditional expectations—and how they influence leadership, performance, and workplace culture.
Through powerful storytelling, lived experience, and practical tools, Sarah helps audiences move beyond surface-level diversity efforts and instead embed inclusive thinking and behaviours into the everyday across their organisation.
This keynote is perfect for leadership teams, HR, DEI champions, and organisations committed to building a culture where everyone can thrive—regardless of gender, role or background.
In this keynote, your audience will:
- Uncover the unconscious biases and outdated norms that silently shape leadership, team dynamics and culture
- Learn how inclusive thinking fuels innovation, wellbeing and high performance—and why mindset must lead the way
- Gain practical strategies to challenge stereotypes and create lasting cultural change across teams and organisations

CLIENTS I HAVE WORKED WITH
What they say about Sarah
“...this program will be helpful in creating the life you truly want and deserve.”
Last year I had the pleasure of meeting Sarah Maconachie who is enthusiastic, articulate and highly engaging. I learned about her mindset program and how it has impacted her personally which piqued my interest as an avid learner. Mindset is something that greatly impacts the work that I do, and I often see how mindset limits my clients potential to fully embrace the philosophies and practices I promote to create the ideal culture and team alignment. I have found the course extremely helpful in developing my own mindset and providing me with greater insight into how I can support mindset development in others. I think this program would be helpful to just about everyone. Unless you have achieved everything you want in your life then this program will be helpful in creating the life you truly want and deserve. Sarah is amazing and has always created a supportive and engaging learning experience.

Presenting to an executive suite of clients on the importance of mindset on developing a high-performance culture.
