Before becoming an after dinner speaker, Fisher switched from the winter Olympic sport to women’s rugby, however, where she would make a name for herself as an integral part of the British team in the 2011’s Six Nations competition where she won the Grand Slam. As a sports speaker, Fisher is engaging and inspiring and as an after dinner speaker she talks about overcoming her numerous personal tragedies and fighting public battles against both mental and physical illness.
Fisher is more determined and ambitious now than at the start of her career and has been praised by coaches, players and fellow sports speakers for her personal strength. Her role as a motivational speaker draws on these personal experiences and discusses how overcoming such adversity has helped to make her a stronger person in the long run.
Fisher attributes much of her personal development to her passionate dedication to elite sports training and, in her role as a sports speaker, she discusses the benefits of such sports training to those in the business world. As both a sportswoman and a rugby speaker, Heather Fisher believes in the positive potential of taking risks, her own life has been changed all for the better by such decisions and attributes much of her success to such choices.
As well as her work as a rugby speaker Fisher has worked as a Sky Sports Athlete Mentor and has used her skills as a motivational speaker to encourage and inspire young people and potential athletes, she has opened her own Personal Training Consultancy Agency where she finds further use for her skills as a rugby speaker to help encourage and motivate other athletes.
In February 2024 we sat down virtually with Heather Fisher and discussed overcoming adversity and how sporting traits can be applied to business. Watch our New and Exclusive Interview with Heather Fisher.
