About Us

Dr. Sarah Sarkis, M.A., Psy.D.

Licensed Clinical Psychologist | Certified Executive Leadership Coach | Performance Psychology Consultant

I am a licensed clinical psychologist by training and a certified executive leadership coach by practice, specializing in the intersection of psychology and workplace performance.

Over the past two decades, my work has taken me around the globe, where I’ve had the privilege of sharing insights through workshops, webinars, keynotes and podcasts, empowering thousands to better understand their brains, their minds and their leadership edges. My approach cuts through the noise—rooted in rigorous psychology, designed for high performance, and unapologetically real. No fluff, no jargon—just science-backed strategies that work.

In my work with leaders and teams, I provide individual and team coaching, deliver keynote speeches, and lead multi-day training experiences and workshops. My goal is to help people harness the psychological strategies needed to pursue and achieve their moonshot dreams.

Over the years, I’ve worked with C-suite executives, leadership teams, and coaches at some of the world’s most prominent organizations, including Fortune 500 & 100 companies and professional/elite athletics.

I’ve shared stages with Steven Kotler, discussing peak performance and flow states, and appeared multiple times on Gabby Reece’s podcast and Flow Research Collective Radio Lab, diving deep into the science behind human potential. Through my Shadowboxing podcast I’ve interviewed some of the giants in leadership, psychology, and performance, including Kotler and Reece, as well as Drs Michael Gervais and Scott Barry Kaufman. My insights have been featured in The New York Times, Women’s Health, Huffington Post, and CNBC.
