ABOUT SABRINA
Sabrina Schottenhamel believes quiet kids have powerful voices—because she was one of them. As a shy and anxious introvert growing up, she often felt unseen and unheard, yet learned that true strength comes from within. Today, as the founder of Quietly Rooted™, she inspires introverted tweens and teens to embrace their uniqueness, grow in confidence, and lead with kindness.
SABRINA HELPS STUDENTS:
Overcome self-doubt and fear of speaking up
Build inner confidence without changing who they are
Use their words to encourage, uplift, and connect
Create ripple effects of positivity in their schools, families, and communities.
Her humble approach connects deeply with students, parents, and educators because it focuses on authentic empowerment, not forcing kids to fit into someone else’s mold.
“Quiet doesn’t mean small. Quiet means powerful, thoughtful, and ready to lead in your own way.”

-
I developed the P.L.A.N. Framework, with God’s guidance, to help professionals—especially introverts—find the courage to attend events, make the most of them, and nurture meaningful connections afterwards. After all, isn’t that the real purpose of showing up?
Do you see a ‘negative’ trend among your employees?
It may be because your employees are disconnected…
What they need is to be REconnected by or through live events. Connecting face to face can truly spark a light inside people creating a need for growth. When one starts to grow, it cases a chain reaction for the the rest to grow too. This then moves the trend in a ‘positive’ direction. This trend helps create comrodery.
The Networking PLAN for professionals was designed with this trend in mind.
Now, what happens when your team isnt sure how to make these face to face connections? And even to make them last?
Start with the PLAN - Prepare, Learn, Acknowledge, Navigate
This framework gives you tips, strategies and a flexible plan to be successful in all your social events. Each area gives suggestions on what to do before, during and after these social events.
Why is this important?
Being social and especially networking is the key to staying connected, continually growing yourself, your business and your contacts.
WORKSHOP THREE
Amplify Your Voice: Thriving as an Introvert
FOR: Businesses, Corporations, Entrepreneurs
ABSTRACT: In today’s fast-paced, extrovert-driven world, being an introvert can feel like you’re constantly spinning your wheels. Meetings are dominated by loud voices, networking events are overwhelming, and even small team collaborations can leave you feeling drained and unheard.
What if there was a way you could flip the script? What if you could take your quiet strength and turn it into a superpower?
Welcome to “Amplify Your Voice,” an interactive and transformative workshop designed specifically for introverts who are ready to thrive and rise, not just survive, in a noisy world!
-
The world needs the thoughtful insights, innovative solutions, and steady leadership that introverts bring to the table. Yet, the culture of constant communication and fast responses often overshadows quieter voices.
Miscommunication between introverts and extroverts in the workplace can lead to inefficiencies, missed opportunities, and even conflict within teams.
-
This workshop is your opportunity to change the narrative, not just for yourself but for those you work with, lead, and support. It’s about breaking down the barriers of misunderstanding, building bridges of collaboration, and showing the world that introverts aren’t just participants— they are true leader
