Women don't earn less because they're less capable. They earn less because nobody taught them how to ask for more.
Book Sara to start that conversation in your room. For women's conferences, entrepreneurship festivals, creative communities and business schools.

"Sara has a real gift for really connecting with the audience she is talking to, leaving everyone fired up and motivated to take action."
Sarah James MBE | Founder of Craft Festival and Find a Maker
Women are done being overlooked and underpaid. Let’s talk about how to change it.
I BELIEVE
Women who work hard and stay silent are paying a tax on their energy, opportunities and earnings.
The last 50 years gave women easier access to the workforce, but not the tools to thrive in it. We were rewarded for doing more and asking for less. We confused hard work with strategy. And the result is a generation of talented, qualified women running on empty.
Meritocracy is a myth. Self-promotion isn't arrogance: it's the most powerful form of self-advocacy women have while they wait for the system to catch up.
Everybody benefits when women are well resourced, well supported and well paid.
Speaker | Author | Mentor
Sara Dalrymple is a speaker, author and thought leader on women, money, and what happens when women finally learn how to ask for what they're worth.
WHY SARA
Sara doesn't just speak about women and money, she's built her entire career inside the argument. As the award-winning author of More Sales Please, she has spent years helping women ask for what they're worth and build businesses that work on their terms. Everything she teaches, she has lived.
She brings something rare to the stage: a clear point of view that’s rigorously argued and practically delivered. Your audience won't just feel something, they'll leave knowing exactly what to do next.
Sara has spoken for creative communities and entrepreneurship events including Roundhouse, Found & Flourish, General Assembly, and Craft Festival. She's a sought-after podcast guest known for her honest, direct take on women, money, and the power of the ask.
The talks
Sara speaks on one central idea — from resentment to resourced — tailored for your specific room and audience.
-
From shame to agency
Most women aren't behind because they're not good enough. They're behind because nobody taught them how to ask. This talk names what's been happening and shows exactly what changes when they learn. Audiences leave with language for something they've been living for years, and one concrete action to take before the end of the week.
The past 50 years: women entered the workforce but weren't given the tools to thrive in it. The present: a generation of talented, qualified women running on empty. The future: the well resourced woman who has enough money, options and freedom to live life on her own terms. This talk covers all three.
Audiences leave with a reframe that changes how they see their past and a framework they can use the same week.
Best for: women's conferences, summits, IWD events
-
From waiting to collective action
Meritocracy is a myth, and believing in it is expensive. This talk makes the case that self-promotion isn't arrogance, it's the most powerful tool women have while the system catches up. It's the talk that changes how women think about asking, not just for themselves, but for every woman watching them do it.
Best for: women's festivals, entrepreneur conferences, any room where you want to spark a real conversation
-
From avoidance to appetite
For female founders who are brilliant at what they do and exhausted by the “selling”. This talk resets the entire relationship with earning: three practical shifts across value, voice, and visibility that make selling feel like something she actually wants to do. The result isn't a woman who sells harder, it's a woman who sells better.
Best for: entrepreneur events, business schools, accelerator programmes, founder communities
-
From stuck to activated
It's easier to earn £1,000 than to save it. This practical workshop proves it. Sara works with the room to identify a bonus £1k offer from what participants already have, price it sustainably, and build a simple plan to sell it. Participants leave with something real and ready to create revenue.
Best for: workshop slots, breakout sessions, entrepreneur events. Works best with a 60-90 minute slot
