Sarah Crawford Bohl
About Me
I am an experienced healthcare executive, facilitator and speaker, with a passion for courageous leadership, innovation, and human connection.
I started my professional career as a nurse, over two decades ago, and have currated a career focused on leadership, team development, and change management. I have advanced training in these areas including a Masters in Leadership from Royal Roads University, as well as certification in PROSCI Change Management, conflict resolution, facilitation, communication, contract negotiation, and am a Human Systems Dynamics practitioner. I am also a TEDx speaker who was selected by TED.com for promotion to the global TED platform (a rare opportunity only offered to scarce few TEDx speakers).
I am known for bridging bold ideas with practical strategy - elevating leadership, strengthening culture, and sparking conversations that drive lasting impact.
Away from my professional world, I recharge in nature - adventuring with family, friends, and our beloved dog- often on Vancouver Island, British Columbia Canada, where we call home.
