Dr Sarah Whyte has a doctorate in emotional intelligence, where she focused on creating and testing an emotional intelligence intervention to support change. Her years of doctoral research gave her the specialist skills required to create new knowledge and become an expert in her field. She keeps up to date with research on emotion, psychology and neuroscience (which is no hardship for a massive research geek who finds emotions fascinating).
Alongside her research expertise, Dr Sarah seamlessly incorporates more than twenty years of supporting thousands of people with tough emotions, well-being and resilience. Her fascination with the impact of emotions began in her teaching career and led her to become a speaker and facilitator to reach a wider audience.
She now works with leaders and teams in high-pressure environments who find themselves constantly under pressure to perform at peak levels. Her audiences are held to high expectations at work and may even be at risk of burnout.
Dr Sarah helps people to understand the power of emotion in building psychological safety. By sharing relatable stories which distil complex research findings into simple but powerful audience takeaways, she supports people to boost their performance, productivity and communication, create an open, transparent, high-trust culture and build supportive working relationships.
Originally from the UK, Sarah has lived in Singapore for 14 years. To date, she has engaged and empowered audiences in 25 countries through virtual and in-person keynotes. Her warm personality and down-to-earth approach shine through on stage and on camera, providing a tonic for corporate audiences feeling overwhelmed, depleted and under constant pressure.
Her typical audience works in a range of industries, from tech to financial services, consulting to sales. She ensures her keynotes are relevant to her audience, at all levels of the business, by tailoring her key messages to meet each audience’s needs.
Sarah offers three keynote options plus accompanying workshops and individual or group coaching. This empowers her audience to build on their keynote insights through an extended learning program for greater impact and longer-lasting change.
