Sarah Furness Speaker Biography

Sarah Furness Speaker Biography

About Sarah Furness

First female helicopter pilot to lead UK Special Forces missions in Iraq
Squadron Leader with operational combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan
Expert on resilience and performance under pressure, now a motivational speaker
Sarah Furness, after completing her studies at Cambridge University, pursued her lifelong dream of becoming a combat helicopter pilot in the RAF. Rising to the rank of Squadron Leader, she took charge of operational combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, where she achieved the remarkable feat of being the first female helicopter pilot to fly and lead UK Special Forces missions in Iraq.

Sarah made two significant discoveries while on the battlefield and at home. First, she realized that resilience and exceptional performance under pressure are not innate qualities but skills that can be developed. Second, she observed that humans possess an extraordinary capacity to excel and lead when faced with intense pressure as long as they possess the necessary knowledge and tools.

Now, as a keynote speaker, Sarah has dedicated herself to a singular mission - to unveil the secret behind outstanding resilience, high-performance, and courage in adversity. She aims to share this invaluable knowledge with others, empowering them to thrive even in the most challenging circumstances.

Sarah’s bestselling books, Fly Higher and The Uni-Tasking Revolution, delve into practical techniques for achieving peak mental performance and building strong leadership skills. Fluent in “alpha male” environments, Sarah brings a relatable, grounded approach to her work, which is both inspiring and impactful.
