Sara and her team provided instant value to Ingram Micro through our corporate initiatives to leverage/engage veteran professionals. Throughout the entire experience, we found Sara to be available, supportive and insightful. Sara places significant emphasis in the importance of understanding her customers business objectives and how veteran talent would align with our goals. If you desire to build, manage and/or leverage Sara to drive your sustainability objectives, you will not go wrong.

I am honored to recommend Sara Blewett McNamara, a truly exceptional transformational leader and strategist. Sara has been an invaluable ally during one of the most challenging periods of my life: transitioning from active duty in the Marine Corps to the civilian workforce.

Meet The Founder

 Sara B. McNamara, MSOD

I build cultures that do not break in the wind. My work sits where neuroscience, organization design, and real-world transition meet. I help leaders replace control with self command, first in themselves, then in their teams; that is how you get speed without chaos and innovation without burnout.

​

Across thousands of transitions, veterans, wounded warriors, military spouses, mergers, reorganizations, I saw the same pattern. When people believe they can influence what happens next, fear collapses and performance returns. When they do not, the best strategy dies in execution.

 

HumanWorks™ is my response: give people back their agency, teach managers the rhythms that hold standards and create safety, measure what matters.

What I believe (and build)

  • Agency is the antidote to uncertainty. Give people real choice and ownership; you get momentum.

  • Belonging and standards rise together. Belonging without agency is decoration; agency without belonging is isolation.

  • The next HR is trauma literate. Heal the damage; keep the bar high; retention, speed, and quality rise.

  • Managers are the lever. Equip them with simple, repeatable rituals; everything else compounds.
