About
Sally Zimney doesn't just teach people to be confident—she teaches them to be courageously unstoppable, even when they're terrified. Ranked in the top 3% of women business speakers with over 20 years of expertise, Sally has made it her mission to help leaders and entrepreneurs transform from hesitant to fearless, from self-doubting to self-trusting. She's the catalyst behind thousands of breakthrough moments where capable professionals finally stop playing small and start taking the risks that transform careers. As the author of the instant #1 bestseller Speaking Story, Sally has decoded what separates those who dream from those who dare. Her approach isn't about eliminating fear—it's about acting through it. She believes your greatest leadership breakthrough happens not when you feel ready, but when you decide to #showupanyway.
Her influence extends across industries through her top 2% podcast This Moved Me and as co-producer of the beloved Permission Slip Conference. Her client roster includes Adobe, Facebook, Paramount Pictures, Cargill, and the University of Minnesota.
What sets Sally apart is her innate ability to spot the exact moment when someone is ready to stop hiding and start leading. Whether she's helping a CEO make a pivotal business decision or inspiring teams to embrace uncomfortable growth, Sally brings the same fierce belief: courage isn't the absence of fear—it's action in spite of it.
Sally tackles imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and the paralyzing fear of failure. Her solution isn't to wait until you feel brave—it's to get brave by doing brave things, turning self-doubt into the very fuel that drives extraordinary results.
