Heather Fisher

Heather Fisher is a distinguished former Olympian with a remarkable dual-sport background, having competed for Team GB in bobsleigh before transitioning into international rugby. A formidable presence in the England squad, she represented her country across five Rugby World Cups, securing a world title and two Six Nations championships. Her career high point included being selected for the inaugural Team GB rugby sevens squad at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, where she competed at the very highest level of global sport. Beyond her on-field achievements, Fisher's journey is defined by extraordinary grit. After overcoming teenage anorexia and a career-threatening spinal fracture that required 18 months in a back brace, she successfully navigated the challenges of severe alopecia to return to elite competition. Following her retirement from professional athletics, she has maintained a high profile through television appearances on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins and as a performance coach on the BBC series Go Hard or Go Home. Fisher is now a sought-after speaker who focuses on the mechanics of team dynamics, the pressure of high-stakes environments, and the cultivation of a robust organisational culture. She is booked for her ability to translate the lessons of professional sport into practical strategies for mental toughness and effective leadership when facing significant change. On stage, Heather Fisher is best known for talks on Resilience, Team Performance, Overcoming Obstacles, Leadership Styles and Culture. Audiences leave with a clear, practical view of the subject rather than a generic overview — every keynote is shaped around the brief and the room. Their work resonates with leaders across Motivational Speaking and Sport, where the themes translate directly into team decisions, customer experience and growth strategy. Heather Fisher is regularly booked for Motivational Speaker and Conference Speaker, adapting tone, length and format to suit the event — from a 20-minute opener to a full conference keynote with Q&A.
