Sara Harwell

Sara Harwell is a Business Development Representative with Dale Carnegie, supporting organizations across the Chattanooga and greater Tennessee region. She works with leaders and teams to identify opportunities for growth in communication, leadership, accountability, and organizational effectiveness.

Sara graduated from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville in 2025, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Communication with a minor in Sociology. She graduated cum laude and was recognized on the Dean’s List, reflecting both academic excellence and a strong work ethic. Her educational background provides a deep understanding of human behavior, group dynamics, and relationship-driven influence. These are skills she applies in a consultative, relationship-first approach with decision makers.

With a focus on the real challenges leaders face as organizations grow, Sara helps uncover gaps in communication, engagement, and leadership consistency. She is especially interested in leadership development, culture, and helping organizations create environments where people and teams can perform at their best.

Sara works closely with Dale Carnegie facilitators and leadership to support programs that build confidence, strengthen relationships, and drive sustainable behavior change across organizations.

She is based in Chattanooga, Tennessee. You can distract her by talking about travel plans she’s already mentally booked, her Starbucks pink drink order, or discovering a new Spotify playlist she’ll play on repeat until further notice.
