Sara Kedge (she/her) works with corporate leaders to create inclusive, healthy and more productive workplaces that work for everyone.

A published and award winning DEI Design Thinking Strategist, Coach and Trainer, Sara blends curiosity and playfulness with deep cross-functional knowledge. She prides herself on helping teams move out of stressful dysfunction to create human-focused workplace cultures where critical thinking – and people – are encouraged and valued.

Sara carries the collective experience of the neurodivergent community into the solutions she co-creates with her clients. As the founder and curator of How 2 Entrepreneuro, an online community supporting neurodivergent entrepreneurs, Sara is constantly learning and hearing from the people she supports, most of whom have suffered burnout within the corporate or public sectors.

Sara’s clients vary in reach from global to local, across a range of industries including academia and training institutions, public and third sector, technology, bio-medical and international development.

Sara co-creates bespoke solutions for each new client challenge, drawing on years of change management consultancy and her current role as a lecturer for the Business and Management faculty at Oxford Brookes University.

Sara’s commitment to delivering a playful, human-centred approach to transition and culture development, makes her an outstanding – and refreshingly unusual – asset to her clients.

Supported the community to participate in the Buckland Review – Parliamentary Select committee into Autism and Employability, and in the Lilac Review – Disability and entrepreneurship.

You can achieve whatever vision of happiness you have. There is no shortcut to living an awesome life- making consistent and incremental changes, keeping going and surrounding yourself with awesome humans will get you there. One decision at a time.
