Sarah Wichers, Newmont Corporation

The Thirlby Company is proud to recognize Sarah Wichers, organizational development manager at Newmont Corporation, as a Five-Star Manager. 

 

Sarah's Five-Star Superpower: Build Belonging ⭐️

 

Why Sarah is a Standout Manager: Sarah was nominated by her former direct report and Thirlby Co. operations manager, Hannah Petro. “Sarah creates the physical, emotional, and mental time and space for her direct reports and colleagues,” Hannah shared. “Her natural warm energy and ability to listen without distraction or judgement instantly make her an approachable person. She creates a psychologically safe environment for those around her, actively inviting input from others, establishing clear norms for team behavior, and responding productively to input. She welcomes and thanks people for challenging the status quo, and reframes errors as material for growth.”

 

Congratulations, Sarah! Thank you for modeling human-centered leadership and creating workplaces where people want to stay.
