Meet Sally McGrath

I spent years leading teams and managing businesses in high-pressure environments, and that's where I learned what managing people well actually looks like.

It means leading with empathy, so people feel heard, supported and safe, not just productive.

I'm on a mission to eradicate the shame and stigma around burnout, not only for individuals, but inside workplace culture itself. I'm the author of Health that Heals: Transform Your Life Before It's Too Late, and I've been featured in Australian media talking openly about my own burnout recovery, because removing the stigma starts with someone being willing to say it out loud.

My focus now is leading the shift from burnout culture to sustainable performance in workplaces. This isn't generic wellbeing content, and it isn't another resilience talk. It's about helping organisations recognise the warning signs of burnout early, respond before performance drops, and build cultures where people can perform well without paying for it with their health.

I work with HR leaders, People and Culture teams, event managers, and organisations who need a keynote with real follow-on support, workshops, leadership debriefs, and 1:1 coaching that turns awareness into action. That includes leaders and teams under pressure, not just individuals trying to fix themselves alone.

If you recognise yourself somewhere in this story, I'd love to hear from you. And if you're the person inside an organisation who already knows this conversation needs to happen, get in touch.
