I am as comfortable delivering a speech to a large, international audience as I am a workshop to a small group of people.

People tell me that they appreciate my talks because I have an ability to build compassionate, trusting bonds, both one-on-one and from a stage. No matter the setting, it is always my goal to deliver uplifting content that leaves people feeling enthused and challenged with new perceptions and ways of approaching an issue, all while teaching with authority, passion, empathy, humility and professionalism – helping the audience to align with their vision and purpose, and walk away with a ‘can do’ attitude and actionable tools.

Sandja is one of the few most inspiring thought leaders in conscious leadership and sustainable business strategy that I have had the pleasure to work with within the large global Sustainable Brands community. As a speaker, she moves the audience in an authentic and heartfelt manner, delivering her messages with a combination of passion and intellect that is second to none. She consistently manages to leave the audience with expanded horizons, new tools for self-improvement and actionable takeaways. I selected her to speak at Sustainable Brands Copenhagen, and I would be delighted to have her back on stage anywhere in the world. She comes highly recommended by the entire Sustainable Brands team!

George Boedecker co.founder Crocs (USA)


I have known Sandja for many years both professionally and personally and I find her to be one of the most engaging and intelligent people I know. We have appeared together in presentations and I am always impressed with her ability to connect with people in any situation - whether a room of 2 or 200 she definitely knows how to communicate ideas with passion and skill. Her public speaking is exceptional, her knowledge of how to communicate ideas top notch and her enthusiasm for finding the passion in everything she does and pulling it out of everyone she meets is not only impressive ...it is humbling. I highly recommend Sandja!
