Sadie Restorick's biography

At a glance

  • CEO of Wellity Global and keynote speaker
  • Trained over 100,000 professionals in workplace wellbeing
  • Award-winning Great British Businesswoman of the Year 2024
Sadie Restorick is the CEO of Wellity Global and a keynote speaker whose work sits at the intersection of wellbeing, leadership, culture, and workplace performance. Sadie holds an MSc with Distinction in Workplace Health and Wellbeing and has trained over 100,000 professionals across some of the world's largest organisations. Named Great British Businesswoman of the Year in 2024 and Global Inspirational Woman of the Year in 2025, her research has been presented at the European Academy of Occupational Health Psychology and featured by BBC News, ITV, The Telegraph, and The Guardian. Most recently, she was named a finalist in the Global Entrepreneur of the Year category at the Allica Bank Great British Entrepreneur Awards. After surviving severe domestic abuse as the highest-risk case in the UK, and rebuilding her life following CPTSD and agoraphobia, Sadie brings 15 years of professional expertise alongside a lived understanding of recovery, resilience, and sustained performance. Her keynotes translate complex behavioural science into strategies leaders can apply immediately, shaped around each audience's specific pressures and industry context. Audiences consistently leave Sadie's sessions with a clearer understanding of what drives burnout and high-functioning exhaustion in high performers, practical tools drawn from positive psychology to strengthen team engagement and psychological safety, and a reframed perspective on adaptability that helps leaders sustain performance through uncertainty. Book Sadie for evidence-led insight grounded in lived experience that changes how your people think, lead, and perform long after she leaves the stage.

Sadie's showreel and videos

Topics, sessions and talks

Unstoppable You: Unlock Your Superpower
Self-worth is not the same as confidence, and Sadie Restorick makes that distinction the starting point for everything. Drawing on her own experience of sustained abuse and its impact on her self-esteem, alongside behavioural science, she exposes the hidden patterns behind burnout, overworking, and high-functioning exhaustion. This talk challenges how high performers and leaders define success, rebuilds the relationship they have with themselves, and offers a more grounded foundation from which to perform sustainably.
The Agile Leader: The Adaptability Advantage
Many leaders are still trying to create certainty in conditions where certainty no longer exists. Sadie Restorick unpacks what adaptability actually looks like in practice, moving beyond theory to explore the mindset, behaviours, and leadership conditions that enable people to perform under pressure without burning out. Leaders leave with a clearer understanding of how to lead with intention and flexibility so that both people and performance can continue to thrive.
The Power Of Post-Traumatic Growth
Resilience is often framed as bouncing back, but Sadie Restorick challenges whether returning to who we were before is the right goal at all. Blending psychological research with her own journey from crippling agoraphobia and CPTSD to becoming a global CEO and keynote speaker, she reframes adversity as a catalyst for transformation. Audiences leave with a different way of understanding struggle, recovery, and strength, and a clearer sense of how to move forward with purpose.
The Corporate HERO: Positive Psychology In Practice
High performance is often treated as a product of pressure, targets, and incentives. Sadie Restorick offers a different framework: HERO, the four evidence-based psychological capacities of Hope, Efficacy, Resilience, and Optimism, proven to drive performance, engagement, and wellbeing. Rather than leaving these to chance, Sadie shows leaders and teams how to actively build them through everyday behaviours, creating cultures where sustained performance is possible.
The Future Of Sustainable Sales Performance
Sales environments are operating under mounting pressure: relentless targets, constant connectivity, and high-performance expectations are driving rising levels of burnout, anxiety, and stress across commercial teams. Sadie Restorick examines the relationship between mental health, wellbeing, and sustainable performance in modern sales cultures, challenging outdated approaches and exploring how organisations can build psychological safety into the way they operate. Teams leave better equipped to perform consistently, retain talent, and achieve long-term commercial results without burning out in the process.

We recently invited Sadie to talk at our EMEA Sales Summit, running a session around mental wellbeing in Sales. Sadie led with empathy, sharing her own experiences, around a topic which she is clearly very knowledgable and passionate about. This resulted in high engagement and a lot of follow up questions from our audience. The session was full of actionable advice on how to manage your mental wellbeing (in and out of the workplace) and extremely impactful - highly recommend!

Can I book a speaker who isn't listed on the PepTalk website?

Yes. If a speaker isn't listed, tell PepTalk their name and the team will approach them for you. The network extends well beyond the public roster, and PepTalk regularly books speakers who don't appear on the site. Email hello@getapeptalk.com with the name.

Most bookings can be rescheduled with reasonable notice. Cancellation terms vary by speaker and are set out clearly in the contract before you confirm, so there are no surprises. PepTalk's team supports you through any change. Contact hello@getapeptalk.com as soon as plans shift.

Can PepTalk help plan the speaker programme for my event?

Yes. Beyond booking a single speaker, PepTalk helps shape a full programme, matching voices to your agenda, audience, and goals across a day or a series. It is a consultative service, not just a booking. Tell us about your event at getapeptalk.com.

What does 'typical fee range' mean?

Speaker fees vary based on factors like event location, format, and availability. The 'typical fee range' figure gives you a baseline of someone's local, in-person rate sits, and we'll confirm the exact fee when you get in touch.

What logistics should I prepare before my speakers arrive?

Before your speakers arrive, confirm AV is tested, a green room is ready, and printed schedules are on hand. Prepare warm introductions for each speaker and brief your team on timings. PepTalk speakers come fully briefed, making event-day logistics smoother and stress-free from the start.

What's the difference between a keynote speaker, an MC, and event entertainment?

A keynote speaker delivers an inspiring or informative talk. An MC hosts and guides the event, keeping things on track. Entertainment — like a band or comedian — creates atmosphere and fun. Each serves a different purpose, and PepTalk can help you book the right talent for all three.

What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule a speaker booking?

Life happens! Most speaker bookings can be rescheduled with reasonable notice. Cancellation terms vary by speaker, but PepTalk handles all the details & contracts transparently upfront so there are no surprises. Our team supports you through any changes, making the process as smooth as possible.

Have all the speakers on the website previously worked with PepTalk?

When booking a comedian, share your event format, audience size and demographics, any sensitive topics to avoid, and the tone you're after. PepTalk makes this easy — their booking process guides you through a simple checklist so nothing gets missed and your comedian is perfectly matched to your crowd.

What information do I need to provide when booking a speaker?

How far in advance should I book a motivational speaker?

Book a motivational speaker at least 3–6 months in advance, especially for popular speakers or large events. Top speakers get booked quickly, so earlier is always better. For major conferences or peak seasons, booking 12 months ahead ensures you secure your first choice.

Can I book a speaker for a virtual or hybrid event?

Yes. Most PepTalk speakers deliver virtual and hybrid sessions with live Q&A, and virtual keynotes usually cost less than in-person because there is no travel. Tell us your platform and format and we'll match speakers experienced in online delivery. Start at getapeptalk.com.

How do I brief an insights speaker on my organisation's strategic context?

Share your organisation's top 3 strategic priorities, current challenges, and the audience's role in delivering them. A simple one-page brief works perfectly. PepTalk speakers use this context to tailor insights that feel genuinely relevant — making your event far more impactful.
