After graduating from Cambridge University, Sarah followed her dream to become a combat helicopter pilot in the RAF. As a Squadron Leader she led on operational combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and she was the first female helicopter pilot to fly and lead UK Special Forces missions in Iraq. During her experiences both at home and at war, she made two important discoveries; - resilience and performance under pressure is NOT instinctive - BUT humans have an extraordinary ability to excel and lead the way under pressure…when they know how. She now has ONE mission. To share the secret to outstanding resilience, performance and courage “under fire”. After hearing Sarah’s stories the audience will walk away with performance, leadership and resilience techniques that are backed by science, proven in combat and immediately transferable into the workplace. She is fluent in “alpha male” and whilst she takes her work seriously, she doesn’t take herself too seriously. Sarah is the No1 Best Selling author of FLY HIGHER - train your mind to feel as strong as you look. She has a young son who she adores and who keeps her on her A game.
