Hi, I’m Sara Deacon.
I thrive when I’m connecting with others. I love talking to large groups of people about something awesome. Especially from stage. Where many others might fear public speaking, it’s nowhere on my list.
Hand me the microphone, and you can relax.
I grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I graduated from Boston University with an English major and went on to achieve a Master’s Degree in Creative Writing.
This was in the early 2000’s when having a fancy degree was supposed to get you a lifelong career doing something related to that degree. Except it didn’t.
I worked retail and moved to northern Virginia, and worked more retail, and worked as an office administrator, and got married, and had kids and moved back to Wisconsin. I worked as a handwriter, a childcare provider, a postpartum doula, a podcast host, a camp counselor, a martial arts instructor and a life, parenting and “adulting” coach.
In between clients, gigs and running my own business, I also work full time as a chiropractic assistant.
Yes, my work history is… eclectic. And it all has contributed to me becoming a powerful connector and creative consultant in my current iteration as a powerful 360° Emcee and speaker.
My family includes myself, my husband and three sons. Four of us are advanced degree black belt martial artists.
I love networking. I love writing. I love making art.
I love dancing and singing, though I don’t do either of those things exceptionally well.
In 2022, I stepped into this role as an MC and speaker. My people skills and performance abilities were a natural fit, and I love holding space for big and small audiences to connect and grow together.
In 2024, I won Speaker of the Year.
I’m open, flexible, intelligent, kind and energetic.
I’m able to do many things very well.
Except play the guitar. I still kinda suck at playing guitar.
My favorite food is sushi.
I love my wavy/curly hair.
Most people can win me over with puns and dad jokes.

“Sara is the MASTER of making event attendees feel comfortable and welcome in a crowd. Her bright personality makes everyone feel like a friend, and that makes an event feel truly special because you feel like you have someone in your corner. I love attending events where I know Sara is speaking or emceeing because I know there will be connections and lots of sunshine.”
“Sara’s the kind of person who lights up the room the moment she steps in – think creativity with a capital ‘C’, a bundle of positive energy, and fun that just doesn’t quit. She’s got this superpower of tuning in to every word you say, making you feel like the only person in the room, even when she’s wrangling a crowd of hundreds.”
