Sarah Rozenthuler

Sarah Rozenthuler is a chartered psychologist, leadership consultant and pioneer of purpose-led leadership. She has over 15 years international experience consulting to many different organizations including BP, Rolls Royce, Spencer Stuart, Standard Chartered Bank, IUCN and the World Bank.

As the author of How to Have Meaningful Conversations (Watkins, 2012), Sarah’s work has been widely featured in the media including the Huffington Post, the Sunday Times, the FT, Guardian, Psychologies Magazine and the BBC Business online. Pearson will publish Sarah’s next book on purpose-led leadership in 2020.

Sarah works with CEOs and leaders who want to create positive change by having the conversations that matter most. She founded Bridgework Consulting Ltd in 2007 to enable leaders to engage and energize their people around great work, with the intention of transforming organisations to become a force for good in the world.

Sarah’s passion for purposeful leadership comes from creating a career she loves after some lost years in her twenties. Having achieved a first class degree in psychology and a position at a leading global consultancy, she decided to step away from the corporate world. After unexpectedly falling on hard times, Sarah spent four years working as a street circus performer, juggling fire in the fiestas of Spain.

This tough but life-changing experience showed Sarah how fulfilling our deepest potential comes not from ignoring our calling, but from following what we feel is our true work. Sarah is passionate about helping others to become more purposeful in their lives and leadership by tuning into the emergent future that wants to happen.

Sarah’s leadership programmes and masterclasses consist of a unique mix of experiential activities, personal reflection and whole group dialogue. She draws on a rich diversity of disciplines including applied psychology, organisational dialogue and systemic constellations.
