Sally Zimney

Hi, I'm Sally Z - and I empower big-hearted entrepreneurs and changemakers to find their signature story, and speak it in a way that moves audiences, without sacrificing your authentic voice and becoming a slimy-speaker-robot! As an award-winning speaker and speaker coach, I've been working on my craft for 20+ years - and if there's one thing I want people to know about speaking, it's this: anyone can do it. (Truly!) Which is awesome, because speaking and storytelling are the most powerful tools we have as leaders, whether we're trying to build our authority and grow our audience, or we're trying to persuade them to our idea or into our next program.

As an entrepreneur, coach, and speaker myself, I have:

• Helped hundreds of speakers create hundreds of talks
• My own "New & Noteworthy" podcast called This Moved Me where I've interviewed some of the biggest names in the industry
• Shared the stage with Seth Godin, Amy Porterfield, Harris III, and more
• Worked with clients from Viacom/CBS to budding and soon-to-be-known entrepreneurs and authors
• A thriving online community and learning platform where I teach entrepreneurs and speakers how to create their signature story, and then scale that impact for more revenue and growth
• A book coming out in early 2023 called Leading with Story...

I'm also a mom of three teenagers (well, truthfully, my youngest is 11, but she acts like she's 14 so we're going with it) - married to my college sweetheart, Andy - and have the sweetest Labradoodle named Bailey who is the focus of much of my Instagram life.

Because I've interviewed 200+ people on my own podcast, I understand the art of the podcast conversation: half how-to helpful, half 'sitting around drinking coffee and sharing the most interesting real-life moments ever'...

I've been told I speak a great sound-byte, so get your quotes ready!
