What Clients Say about Our Learning Solutions

“Sarah is a methodical and purposeful learning professional. She demonstrates a desire to be the best facilitator for any content that she was to deliver. Her attention to detail is outstanding and contributes to her professionalism and ability to influence building high performing teams. As I continue to develop work, I will seek for opportunities to collaborate with Sarah as a learning professional. She has insights that can turn any organization into a learning organization.”
-  Vice President - Human Resources, The Gap


“Sarah recently presented to our Job Seekers Connection community on leveraging appropriate communication techniques from job searching throughout the hiring process and her presentation was a great success and a wonderful experience for our job seekers. Sarah's presentation was expertly prepared and thorough, clearly showing intentionality for our specific community. On the day of the event, Sarah arrived early with great energy and engaged our small group with personal activities and interactive exercises that encouraged trust building, vulnerability and helped our participants reflect on their experiences and challenges in profound ways. Sarah's sensitivity to the topics that came up enabled a safe space for open dialogue and learning and I particularly appreciated that she wasn't afraid to deviate from the plan to respond to participants' questions with care, while guiding the conversation, so that it remained relevant for everyone. Sarah is a professional in every sense and I highly recommend her to present to all different sizes and types of groups based on my experience contracting her.”
- Marisa Lopez, Associate Director of Workforce and Economic Development, Harvard University


“Sarah did a great job with a course entitle "Difficult Conversations" that was used with ChromaWomen, a diversity interest network group for women we have established at Chroma Technology. What impressed me was Sarah's interest in understanding the issue we were trying to address, as well as wanting to understand our work place. The content was customized to meet the needs of the team. She developed a version that we did as an interactive video meeting primarily for those working from home, and we had an in person session with our women production employees. The role playing was extremely effective as it enabled great conversations around real workplace issues. The team was left with actionable strategies to deal with Difficult Conversations, as well as knowing that others from the class can be a great sounding board. I would recommend Sarah for workplace training on a wide range of topics.” - Janette Bombardier, Chief Operating Officer, Chroma Technology Corp.


"Sarah did an excellent job of teaching my training team about learning objectives, ADDIE, feedback and other tools. The team especially liked the student handbook that she designed for them. They already are making plans to include it in their next courses they develop."
- Amy Couter, Training Manager, Entergy


“Sarah is a great instructor/facilitator. Clear, concise and really lets the team figure out what their needs are vs. telling us what they are. She made it much easier for all of us to share more openly in our team setting and that is something I believe we will carry with us in future team endeavors.” - Leader, King Arthur Flour


“Sarah is a dynamic presenter able to provide the necessary key components of SLII and vulnerability in a manner that is exciting and concise. She demonstrates knowledge and passion of the material presented making it easier to absorb.”
- Clinical Leader, Greater Nashua Mental Health Center


"Outstanding course. Sarah's ability to manage a large group, answer everyone's questions, create an environment where learning was fun and challenging, was very refreshing. If felt as though she was training me personally while interfacing with a large group. I highly recommend this course." 
- Mark Savoie, Senior Trainer, Entergy


“The leadership training received through Sarah Scala was in-depth, understandable, and very beneficial for me in moving forward in my role as a supervisor. I felt heard and the activities/assignments allowed for a greater understanding of the materials and how to effectively utilize the leadership skills with my staff. Sarah exhibits energy and dedication towards guiding businesses in better leadership skills to increase their functionality and profitability.”
- Clinical Leader, Greater Nashua Mental Health Center


I have had the pleasure of attending professional training courses taught by Sarah. She is a very enthusiastic, knowledgeable and skilled facilitator. Her teaching methods were creative - she was able to use the experiences of the people in the class to illustrate her points in the lessons. She helped me to sharpen my own leadership skills while showing me new, innovative ways to look at situations. She also took the time to follow up with the class participants, even after several weeks, to answer any questions that might still be lingering.”
– Supply Chain Leader, Manufacturing Industry
