Book IWD Speaker: Sally Kettle

World Record Holding Ocean Rower, Adventurer, Keynote Speaker & CEO

Sally Kettle inspires resilient, values-led leadership & practical action for gender equity in complex times.

Sally Kettle is a world-class ocean rower, adventurer, sought after keynote speaker and CEO of the national women's health charity - The Active Pregnancy Foundation.

With 20 year s experiences as a leadership speaker she brings a refreshingly honest, human and often humorous perspective to her talks - ideal for International Women’s Day. Drawing on her experience rowing the Atlantic and leading purpose-driven organisations, Sally explores what it really takes to lead, and be led, in uncertain, high-pressure environments.

Blending compelling storytelling with sharp humour, she challenges performative models of leadership and instead champions resilience, trust, empathy and pragmatic decision-making. Sally connects gender equity to everyday leadership behaviours, examining how systems, cultures and assumptions can unintentionally exclude, and how small, courageous shifts can create meaningful change.

Audiences leave inspired, energised and equipped with practical tools to build cultures where women, and all people, can thrive. Her talks strike the perfect balance between laughter and depth, challenge and encouragement making her an ideal choice for organisations seeking an IWD keynote that sparks reflection, real conversation, and lasting action.
