I had the pleasure of hearing Sarah tell her story at a conference in 2018. Not only is she very personable and engaging, but she's also as authentic as they come - a rare combination. If you are looking for someone to speak from the heart and inspire those around her, then I would highly recommend Sarah.
CEO Kidsafe VictoriaMelanie Courtney
Sarah is an absolutely mesmerising speaker and nails rural community issues with clarity and passion. She engaged all generations and had people connected with their hearts, minds and hands. If you are looking for someone to bring challenging issues to the fore, to inspire and motivate individuals to believe they can make a difference – she is the perfect choice.
Managing Director & CEO Rural BankAlexandra Gartman
I admire Sarah's passion, determination and focus. Whilst she is all about creating successful futures for our rural communities, she is brilliant at using the history of population decline to "make the penny drop" that status quo is not what we need.
When I have heard Sarah speak, the room is full of people who have had a wake up call and realise we need to act urgently.
Sarah also knows how to inspire younger people that they need to be a big part of that solution - a realisation missing in many of our communities. Sarah cleverly uses sport as an indicator - something easily understood and incredibly relevant to all rural communities.
Chair of Regional Development Australia SARob Kerin
Hearing Sarah’s story and journey for re-invigorating the communities within small country towns I was blown away. Her professionalism, tenacity, and passion is exceptional and really sparked a keen interest to understand and know more about how she is turning communities around to become part of a solution to create positive change.
Chair, Million Dollar Round Table Australia & OceaniaJenny Brown
Sarah's presentation was warmly received, and many of the audience commented on how relevant, professional and cut through Sarah’s presentation was.
Sarah is a passionate speaker, is well versed in the issues faced by regional towns, and made us both laugh and cry during her presentation. I highly recommend her to other groups as a speaker, and an advocate for empowering young people.

Sarah Powell impresses her audience with her passion and commitment, whatever her topic. Her personality shines through and engages her listeners. Sarah is also organised and easy to work with in a variety of situations.
State President, Country Womens Association SARoslyn Schumann
A session introduced for the first time at our conference featuring a speaker from outside infrastructure was very well received. Sarah Powell previously Australian Rural Woman of the Year spoke on the Champions Academy she initiated to arrest the deterioration of regional sport participation in her Eyre Peninsula community and upside consequences. Opportunities to apply the learnings in an organisation like our own was clearly evident in the discussion which followed.
President, Institute of Public Works & Engineering Australasia SARita Excell
I have been very fortunate to work with Sarah on several occasions and find her a courageous individual, the way she openly talk about her personal experiences which provide messages of hope and encouragement to others. Her passion is infectious to others which make her an invaluable member of our community.
Cleve & Districts Mental Health & Wellbeing GroupErin Roberts
The questions and conversations indicated [our staff] were really quite engaged. Most of the people are from regional areas and they could relate to what you were saying. I personally thought you had an amazing story and are an inspiration to us all.
CEO, Herron Todd White AustraliaBrendon Hulcombe
We engaged Sarah to deliver a keynote at our State Country Championships Gala, because it was clear that she was a person who understood the importance of preparing for the future and having strong leaders - her passion was obvious. The room was engaged from start to finish.
