Sarah ohanesianSarah is a former Chief Marketing Officer who decided to take on the insurmountable mission of ending burnout. No big deal, right? Throughout her career, she started to realize that high-performing individuals were hitting all the marks on paper, but in reality, they were stressed out, unfulfilled, and so stinkin’ busy. She knew she had to do something about it. And if there's anything a high achiever is good at, it's creating more work for themselves. So she started a business SO Productive…then, co-founded another, Super Productive. It was there that she discovered the hidden power of neurodiversity to accomplish extraordinary things. As a keynote speaker and productivity consultant, Sarah is the much-needed gut-punch corporate audiences have been missing.
