SARA O’MARA

Sara O’Mara has always believed in the power of And.

And is the intersection where disparate ideas meet and new possibilities emerge. And celebrates the value of varied perspectives, the power of unexpected connections, the strength of community and the pursuit of growth. And is where the magic happens.

Sara founded The And Group to bring more And to the world. As a creative change studio, Sara and her colleagues partner with brands, teams and individuals at points of transformation. The And Group is privileged to work with a roster of clients that ranges from the Fortune 100 to entrepreneurial start-ups on their marketing, organizational and leadership development opportunities.

A seasoned marketer and leadership coach, Sara is known for her innate curiosity, intellectual agility and emotional intelligence. Her approach to guiding clients toward opportunities for growth is informed by her training as a marketing strategist at Leo Burnett and Unilever, certified co-active professional coach and shamanic energy healer. Sara’s clients value her ability to listen deeply, think broadly and act courageously with both her head and heart.

As a marathoner and meditator, Sara aspires to a balance of movement and mindfulness in her own life. She is inspired by good design and dream interpretation, the public library and the promise of a passport. A perpetual liberal arts student, Sara loves learning new things and always gravitates to And. Because And always leads us to what comes next.
