Sadie Restorick helps organisations build resilient, high-performing cultures through workplace wellbeing, leadership development, and burnout prevention. She trains global teams using evidence-based behavioural science and was named Global Inspirational Woman of the Year in 2025.
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.

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.
Topics, sessions and talks
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Sadie brings academic weight to the room, with an MSc in Workplace Health and Wellbeing and research presented at the European Academy of Occupational Health Psychology. Her work translating behavioural science into practical leadership tools has reached over 100,000 professionals across major global organisations. If your teams are navigating burnout or sustained pressure, she delivers exactly the kind of evidence-led perspective that sticks.

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
