Sarah Furness Biography
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.
Furness 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, Furness 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, equipping them to thrive even in the most challenging circumstances.
Furness’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, Furness brings a relatable, grounded approach to her work, which is both inspiring and impactful.
