go beyond words — training and development for educational, corporate and personal effectiveness

Sari de la Motte, who has been described as a “guru of the unspoken,” is the CEO and founder of Nonverbal Solutions, whose motto is Go Beyond Words. We’ve all heard the phrase, it’s not what you say, it’s how you say it. Sari takes that phrase even further, to show us how what we’re saying without words can make a difference in how we are perceived. She engages her audience by sharing the power of nonverbal communication with relevant examples, practical applications and humor. Sari has trained extensively with an internationally recognized authority in nonverbal communication and leads workshops based in nonverbal communication strategies throughout the United States. She also provides one-on-one coaching to individuals who are seeking to expand influence in the workplace. In addition to her consulting work, she has taught on the faculty of Pacific University and Portland State University.

Sari is passionately committed to sharing the power of nonverbal communication with others. She believes effective communication is the key to increased influence in the educational, corporate, and personal realm. Sari lives in Portland, Oregon with her husband Kevin, a cook for New Seasons.
