Sarah Brennand
Executive Coach | International Keynote Speaker | Creator of The Calibration Model
Sarah Brennand delivers keynote talks and leadership programmes focused on one central challenge facing modern leaders: how to achieve high performance without collapse.
She is the creator of The Calibration Model – a leadership framework that helps executives sustain success by aligning the key domains that shape long-term performance: work, money, mission, mental health, physical health and life balance.
When speaking at conferences, leadership events and executive programmes, Sarah introduces audiences to practical ways of recalibrating performance in demanding environments. Her work combines evidence, leadership strategy and real-world experience drawn from years advising senior professionals, building businesses and operating in high-pressure settings.
Alongside her work as an executive coach and strategic advisor, Sarah is also a business founder, a mum of three and an endurance athlete who has completed multiple ultra-distance challenges. These experiences inform the way she speaks about leadership under pressure, personal discipline and sustainable success.
Her sessions are designed to strengthen leadership thinking, expand capacity and give people tools they can apply immediately in both professional and personal life.
