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.
