Sandy Asch

Bio & Point of View

A TEDx Speaker, best-selling author, resilience thought leader and woman of influence award winner, my best-selling book, ROAR, was named by Inc. magazine as one of the best business books written by a woman.

Over the past 30 years, through keynote presentations and workshops, 55,000+ leaders in 50 countries and 6 languages have implemented my ideas to navigate change, manage work-life balance and be more resilient.

In my keynotes I weave through lessons from the animal kingdom growing up in South Africa and real stories from the world famous San Diego Zoo and other organizations that unleashed their ROAR - going from “another tiring day at work” to leading with purpose and passion.

Now, I call the magical city of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, home where I am embracing the idea of FLOW GLOW & GROW.

It will be my privilege to joyfully inspire your women leaders to fulfill on their potential and stay WHOLE!

The Whole Woman's Way

Staying balanced, healthy & fulfilled in a demanding world

Women leaders are carrying a HUGE load. They’re expected to meet business goals, advance in their career, be caring and compassionate, influence change, and, oh by the way, take care of themselves and their families too! No wonder so many are depleted or on the brink of burnout.

In this session, I offer women mind-shifting ideas and practical tools to stay grounded and trust their inner wisdom as they navigate the demands of a complex workplace (and world). Develop more courage, confidence and clarity so they can stay WHOLE.

The Power of Soft Strength

How women influence change

Changing the world doesn't require that women become more like men. Rather, it demands that women own and exercise their natural power and unique leadership abilities to influence change through soft strength. In this inspiring keynote delivered at TEDx women, Sandy empowers and emboldens women to take a cue from the lioness, to embrace their strengths and rise up in leadership - to let their ROAR be heard.

• Harness your natural feminine attributes to influence change
• Stay calm under pressure and face demands with grace
• Use failure to fuel your energy and desire to make a difference
• Velcro to other women to get the support and encouragement you need
