Sara Wachter-Boettcher - Finding and Using Your Active Voice


Listen Later

Sara Wachter-Boettcher inspires us through her actions, reminds us why it’s important to see shades of grey, and helps us to design the careers we actually want.

Highlights include:

  • Is it career limiting to enforce a work/life boundary?
  • Do we have to accept that companies exist to serve shareholders?
  • Should we ever sacrifice our wellbeing to solve important problems?
  • Who or what inspired you to become a feminist leader?
  • Why are some people uncomfortable with life’s shades of grey?

    Who is Sara Wachter-Boettcher?

    Sara is the CEO of Active Voice, a leadership development company that’s on a mission to make work culture better for everyone - in particular those of us working in design and tech. 

    Through Active Voice, Sara helps organisations - like LinkedIn, Etsy, and Mastercard - to build radical and courageous leadership practices, the kind needed for today’s world. She does this through 1-on-1 coaching, workshops and the facilitation of strategy sessions.

    Before starting Active Voice in 2020, Sara was the Principal of Rare Union, a content strategy and user experience consultancy. Sara also ran a feminist leadership community and event series called Collective Strength, and hosted a podcast for feminists called Strong Feelings. 

    She is the author of three influential books, Content Everywhere: Strategy and Structure for Future-Ready Content, Design for Real Life, and Technically Wrong: Sexist Apps, Biased Algorithms, and Other Threats of Toxic Tech.
