Biography

Sally Henderson has spent more than 26 years in the room with C-suite leaders and executive teams, guiding them through their highest-stakes moments.

As the creator of High-Stakes Leadership Mentoring® and The REAL Method®, she works across FTSE businesses, financial services, FMCG, media, marketing, and technology. Earlier in her career, Sally founded and ran a successful executive search firm before building the global mentoring practice she leads today.

Sally is a mentor on stage. Her keynotes challenge accepted leadership thinking and leave audiences with practical tools and ideas they can apply immediately.

Her flagship keynote, The HOW of High Performance, draws on the original research behind her Amazon bestselling book to explore how thinking, behaviour, and leadership shape performance. Leadership Has Changed. Have You? introduces the four foundations of The REAL Method®: Role, Emotion, Acceleration, and Leadership.

Her other signature talks examine why purpose alone cannot create sustained high performance, reframe imposter syndrome as Fantasy Fear, and explore how separating personal and professional identity can strengthen performance and protect energy.

Sally also hosts The HOW of High Performance Podcast, featuring conversations with C-suite leaders, Olympians, academics, and military leaders.

A TEDx speaker, she speaks on international stages and was selected to join the Emeritus Enterprise Global Educator Network, delivering leadership programmes to senior executives around the world.
