About Sara Wiener Consulting
Teaching organization and time management skills to kids, teenagers, adults and couples in the Bend, Oregon area.
Meet Sara Wiener.

I love to teach and empower youth and adults. I believe everyone is intelligent and wonderful, but they may not know it yet. Helping people discover their hidden skills, talents, and passions is what drives me each and every day.
For me, this work is personal. As a child, reading was a challenge. I was put in reading lab, had to endure summer tutoring, and struggled through school to figure out how to read for comprehension. I was labeled a "problem reader" and lost my confidence as a student.
One teacher made all the difference. This teacher recognized I wasn't a traditional learner and took the time to challenge my false beliefs of incompetence and instilled a true sense of confidence in who I was. Because of that teacher, I achieved educational goals far beyond anyone’s expectations.
I've traveled an usual path in life. I started my career as a social worker and a teacher. I then ran a business for many years. I then realized it was time to pursue a more meaningful line of work. So I've returned to my passion of helping young people and adults succeed and grow.
I've always had a great rapport with teenagers. I love working with families and couples too. With the combination of my Masters in social work and my teaching experience, I feel particularly qualified to help young people and adults find solutions to the challenges of time management, planning, and organization.
I'm also the parent of a child who had to work really hard to meet the demands of our traditional school and educational system, as well as facing the challenges of our digital and fast-paced culture. Social media and technology have exponentially increased the pressure and anxiety that young people experience in addition to their already busy and stressful lives as students, athletes, musicians, artists, or workers.
Thanks to all of these experiences, I'm excited to help teenagers, adults and couples find their footing and achieve the many amazing, incredible goals that lie ahead.
