Sarah Judd Welch

Organizational & Community Designer

Hi, I’m Sarah (she/her).

I believe that it is our collective responsibility to create environments and cultures in which everyone is seen, heard, and valued. When each of us belongs, we can transform together.

As an organizational and community designer, I lead Sharehold, an innovation consultancy that designs and fosters belonging with teams and communities. Most recently, I led Redesigning Belonging: How Uncertainty Magnifies Belonging at Work, a research report and workbook that explores how uncertainty impacts one's sense of belonging at work, uncovers a methodology for assessing belonging and facilitates conversations to develop a company’s unique belonging strategy. I am Dare to Lead trained in bringing Brené Brown’s research on shame, vulnerability, and empathy into practice within teams.
