Sarah Haggard is the CEO & Founder of Tribute. Tribute is a modern, enterprise-level mentorship app that connects individuals through their shared life experiences. And with this, Sarah’s mission is to redefine mentorship through her company. Tribute is about paying tribute to who you are and that makeup of experiences and how you can pay that forward to other people.
Sarah is also a speaker, writer, builder, creative and mentor who loves to tell stories. She started her company and community because she is “passionate about the power of human connection, and using storytelling as a means to find that connection. When women feel connected, we feel empowered, supported, and most importantly, capable of achieving our most aspirational goals. Without sacrificing who we are, or what we believe in.”
I wanted to bring Sarah on to speak about how we can be creative and the importance of belonging in the workplace and in your social circles.
Sarah’s Why
I want to connect people. I want to connect this world. I want people to not feel alone in their experience.
It is that I know that we all have things in common. That the root of the human experience – joy, grief, sadness, anger, excitement – it is all the same. Now, culturally we look different, speak a lot differently, we have different values, we have different beliefs, we have different artifacts of these cultures, but there is something so fundamental in the human experience that makes me deeply curious and incredibly motivated to want to get to that common denominator that we all share. It allows us to be more curious about what makes us different.
I have always had a bleeding heart to help the underdog, to help create a better world. I remember famously telling my parents at age nine that I was never going to go into computers, because I wanted to help people.
