​I don’t even know where to begin when it comes to Devin Sarno at Parlay Communications. She is nothing short of a FORCE. Devin is a powerhouse who transforms the way people think about communication, cultivating self-empowerment and confidence in every individual/team she works with.
Communication isn’t just a skill—it’s the lifeblood of any successful organization. Without it, teams falter, innovation stalls, and progress grinds to a halt. Devin knows this better than anyone, and her passion for helping others unlock their potential is unmatched.
Devin’s approach is both dynamic and brilliant. She has an extraordinary gift for breaking down even the most anxiety-inducing aspects of communication into simple, actionable steps that anyone can implement.

Her extensive experience working with individuals and organizations—especially her commitment to shaping the minds of the next generation of communicators—speaks volumes about her expertise. Devin has a unique ability to engage leadership teams and inspire meaningful growth, even in organizations that may feel stuck or struggling.
Devin Sarno isn’t just a communication coach; she’s a true work of art in a world often stifled by poor or ineffective communication.

Devin Sarno’s business, Parlay Communicators, can be summed up in its name which means “to increase or otherwise transform into something of much greater value”. Recently, I was lucky to have Devin help me with an important keynote speech and, after getting to know her, I now know that the magic of Devin is so much more.

​Yes, Devin is a consummate professional with an incredibly large list of speaking and coaching experiences, but her magic lies in the qualities that you might not find on her resume. After working with Devin, I found that some of the most memorable things about her include her intelligence, her kindness, and her sense of humor, all delivered with a raw energy that inspires and uplifts. Devin jokes that she helps people “talk pretty” which is completely true, but she is also a gifted listener and has a keen ability to glean insights about you so you can expertly craft your words and shine authentically. She sees the beauty and the light in each person and combines that with her public speaking experience and training to help you effectively deliver your message to the world. It’s completely magnetic! If you’re thinking about working with Devin or hiring her to speak, I say go. NOW. Devin is a rare gem and can help you make an impact on any stage, in front of any audience, anywhere in the world. 
I am a professional engineer who retained Devin to help me with a leadership keynote speech, and she was able to parlay me into an impactful speaker able to reach hearts with my words. If she can help technical people “talk pretty”, I guarantee that she can do wonders for your organization as well! I wholeheartedly recommend hiring Devin and Parlay Communicators if you have a message to deliver with empathy, style and impact.
