Welcome!

I'm Sari de la Motte. I help people find their voice and speak it powerfully.

I work with all kinds of speakers and specialize in working with trial attorneys.

If you're ready to hit your presentation (or trial!) out of the park, you've come to the right place.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT SARI

Law school teaches lawyers to think, but not communicate. Sari teaches you to communicate. She is fantastic at helping you simplify and deliver your message in a manner that is authentic, understandable and comfortable for both you and your audience.

John Coletti, Paulson | Coletti Trial Lawyers

Good coaches can make any trial lawyer, no matter how accomplished, better. One hour with Sari has made me better. She will make you better too.

Roger Dodd,
Dodd & Burnham Trial Lawyers

Sari provided expert guidance to help me be strong, confident, and well-prepared for my TEDx Talk. Her attention to detail, knowledge of the power of nonverbal communication, and enthusiasm for making sure my message was powerful were true gifts. I look forward to working with her again!

Sari is AWESOME!

Derenda Schubert, Bridge Meadows

If you want to take your skill as a trial lawyer to the next level, Sari is the person to take you there, and beyond. Working with Sari is sort of like therapy for trial lawyers, but it’s your skill as a communicator that’s on the couch.

Rob Beaty-Walters, Law Office of Robert Beatty-Walters

I have been speaking to large audiences for two decades, but after working with Sari, I was able to communicate with an audience in a more meaningful way. Sari allowed me to expand my comfort zone, by showing me how to be myself in front of an audience in a more engaging and impactful way.

Steve Messinetti, Habitat for Humanity Portland Metro/East

Trial attorneys are trained by some of the best in the field on what to say. Sari, however, is the best at training trial attorneys on how to say it. Sari has made me a better speaker both in and out of the courtroom. Improvement doesn’t happen overnight; it definitely takes work. And boy, does Sari make you work for it. But if you’re willing to put in the time, you will be a better attorney in the end.
