Sarah Furness

Sarah has 20 years of military service as an RAF helicopter pilot, Squadron leader, mentor, and facilitator. Sarah led operational combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. During her experiences both at home and at war, Sarah learnt that tough and capable people don’t always feel as strong as they look. This prompted her to re-train and harness her experience and passion for helping people use their impressive (but often mischievous) brains as a force for good.

Motivational Speakers Teamwork, Adversity, Leadership, Female Motivational Speakers

Failure, loss, rejection, betrayal, fear, self-loathing… it’s all been part of Sarah’s journey. Sarah used to battle with who she was on a daily basis.

It’s easy to assume that resilience is instinctive and that our minds are working for us when life throws us curve balls. The truth is, whilst we were taught algebra and nouns at school, we weren’t taught how to use our brains to increase our performance, resilience, and happiness. As a result, many of us live in conflict with ourselves, sometimes without even realising it. This affects even the strongest of people. In fact, it’s often the strongest people who experience the most conflict, such as the power of their minds.

Sarah has developed her own unique Healthy Automatic Behaviours in Threatening Scenarios (H.A.B.I.TS.) Formula – a way to train the mind to be a Jedi master under pressure and accomplish zen-like levels of self-belief and inner calm.

Her approach is robust (she is a combat helicopter pilot and fluent in the alpha male) whilst being non-invasive (there is no lying on a chaise longue dredging up your childhood) and good-humoured. She is sought out by fast critical thinkers who want to be extraordinary.

Sarah is a motivational speaker on a mission to help people feel as strong as they look.
