Dr. Sara K. Schneider
Sara K. Schneider, Ph.D. is the Founder and CEO of THE HUMAN JOURNEY® , which sharpens service in the professions, applying Sara’s expertise in crafting group experiences, interaction, learning, collaboration, and performance to support professionals in their work with patients and clients.
THE HUMAN JOURNEY® helps healthcare organizations, hospices, and social service organizations achieve their goals of family-centered whole-person care, brand distinction, and meaningful professional development as they address the cultural and spiritual dimensions of health and healthcare. From data-derived insights, she creates experiences for service enhancements in healthcare and the deepening of the web of service provider and family relationships.
Sara is trained as a performance anthropologist, with degrees from Yale and NYU. Most of her published writing has been on the aesthetics, functions, and meanings of the body in specific cultural contexts; her books (available on Amazon), have been published by Yale University Press, Cuneiform Books, and Pendragon Press. She has chapters published in education, design, anthropology, and medical training books, and her insights on human performance have been featured on a variety of NPR programs, television and video productions, and magazines.
Sara has designed and facilitated strategy sessions, programs, trainings, and retreats for such healthcare clients as Joliet Area Community Hospice, the American Holistic Nurses Association, the American Association of Occupational Health Nurses, and the Esalen Institute, as well as for not-for-profit and corporate clients.
Prior to committing to making THE HUMAN JOURNEY® a working reality in professional settings around the country (and now around the world), Sara was a tenured education professor in leadership studies, guiding working professionals in education, healthcare, the clergy, and law enforcement in accessing and growing their own and their colleagues’ wisdom and resources.
