Counsel Culture with Eric Brooker


Apr 21, 2022

My guest today is none other than Sarah Wells.

Sarah is an Olympic hurdler and Pan Am Silver Medalist and has learned how to overcome hurdles both literally and figuratively. During her pursuit of the London Olympics, she was sidelined for months just the year before due to injury, but was able to finish as an Olympic semi-finalist and one of the youngest competitors in the field. There is a whole other story about when she pursued her second Olympic games, but we will save that for our conversation today.

Outside of competitive sports, she coaches people to pursue their goals through the Believe Initiative, an organization she founded on—fittingly—a message of resilience. Through the Believe Initiative, she has helped over 120,000 students across North America understand the importance of being resilient and the power of believing in themselves. In the corporate world, she has worked with organizations such as Salesforce, Deloitte, Proctor and Gamble, Kraft-Heinz, Bell Media, and RBC on how to build more resilient teams through keynotes and customized workshops. 

Sarah recognizes not everyone is going to have that, teacher, coach or person in their lives, who believes in them, so the Believe Initiative was created in 2017 to be that person for as many people as possible.
