Sarah Kundla

Sarah Kundla

Sarah Kundla has always been curious about people: how we communicate, how we learn, and how our experiences and environments shape the way we see the world. That curiosity grew through years of teaching, facilitating, and living and working across cultures, where she saw firsthand how differently people can approach the same conversation, relationship, or challenge.

Today, Sarah is the founder of Questing Insight, where she turns that curiosity into practical learning experiences focused on emotional intelligence, communication, and leadership development. As a speaker, facilitator, and designer, she blends research with real-world experience and storytelling to help people better understand themselves and the people they work with.

Sarah has trained more than 1,900 professionals across the U.S. and internationally, is a Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach, and has spoken at conferences including Learn & Lead, WITCON, and CodeMash. At the heart of her work is a simple goal: helping people become more thoughtful about how they communicate, more curious about perspectives beyond their own, and ultimately, better at working with other humans.

Always on the road — in search of inspiration, good food, and the next interesting conversation.

I'm a Microsoft MVP and consultant with over 8 years of experience in Dynamics 365 and Customer Experience.
My sweet spot is Dynamics 365 Customer Insights and Dynamics 365 Sales, but I'm equally at home talking about AI, Copilot, and where it's all heading. I'm driven by curiosity, about technology, about people, and about the spaces in between.
That curiosity also shapes the sessions I love to give. Alongside deep-dives into Microsoft tech, I design talks on mindset and methods: from building a Second Brain to applying Street Epistemology, the Socratic questioning practice, in everyday professional life.

When I'm not on stage or on a client project, you'll find me somewhere in the world with a knitting project in my bag, great company around the table, and probably too many browser tabs open.

I believe that we can create products and services that make the world a better place. And that we can learn and grow in the process of doing so. Our challenge is that we waste time and money and human energy on untested ideas that, too often, turn out to be something that the customer does not want. Or, if we have an idea that is really good, we get in our own way by not executing it well, by not being able to communicate, inspire, and empower our collaborators and stakeholders as we must in order to do the impossible: launch and grow good ideas that the world needs, fostering sustainable and ethical growth.
