Sara Orem

Sara L. Orem, Ph.D., principal of Lotus Coaching & Consulting, speaks widely about the ways in which we can all use our talents, instincts, skills and experience to create more joyful and more productive lives.

Her current coaching practice focuses on powerfully positive practices that enable change in individuals, groups and organizations. Her particular research interest is in turning conflict into learning and collaboration. She is the lead author of Living Simply: Timeless Thoughts for a Balanced Life, published by Health Communications in 1995, and Appreciative Coaching: A Positive Process for Change, published by Jossey-Bass in 2007.

In addition to her coaching and consulting practice and her speaking engagements, Sara is currently working on a workbook to accompany her Appreciative Coaching book, called Accentuating the Positive: Tools for Imagining and Achieving.
