"Sally Z” is an award-winning speaker, best-selling author, and coach whose mission is to empower leaders and change-makers of all stripes to bravely move from the sidelines into the spotlight at work - on stage - and in life.
After 20+ years of honing her craft, Sally (sometimes lovingly referred to as a "professional nudger") encourages and equips people to be braver in both the every day and exceptional moments - and share their voice and story with authenticity, clarity, and courage. Sally has spoken in front of thousands of people - coached hundreds of speakers - and created countless “moving moments” in that indelible connection between speaker and audience. Her client list includes household names like Viacom, Facebook, Adobe, Paramount, and Thomson Reuters - and hundreds of exceptional entrepreneurs and emerging thought leaders that will soon join those ranks!
As a long time performer, speaker and producer, Sally creates and cultivates experiences that unleash what's possible - through her own events and by speaking at others'. For those leaders who want to step on stage themselves, Sally coaches aspiring and advanced speakers to leverage the power of speaking to grow their impact, authority, and revenue.
Sally is the host of This Moved Me, a podcast in the top 2% of podcasts in the world. She is listed in the top 3% of Women in Business speakers by espeakers.com. And Sally is the curator and co-producer of the delightful Permission Slip Conference, countless retreats, and the Movers LIVE! event for speakers debuting in Spring 2025. Sally's instant best-selling book, Speaking Story, came out in February 2024.
From the boardroom to the biggest of stages - Sally believes that when we share our authentic voice and story it just might be the thing that moves the world.
