What is the REAL Method?

The REAL Method is a proprietary leadership framework created by Sally Henderson. It stands for Role, Emotions, Acceleration and Leadership, and is designed to help C-suite executives and senior leaders master how they lead — not just what they do. It challenges the assumption that high performers truly understand their roles, leadership qualities and ambitions, and provides a structured approach to high-stakes leadership development.

Who does Sally Henderson work with?

Sally Henderson works exclusively with C-suite executives and senior leadership teams. Her clients include CEOs, CMOs, Chief Strategy Officers and other senior leaders across sectors including media, marketing, professional services and consumer brands. Past clients include NatWest Group, Nestlé, M+C Saatchi, Next15, Iris, VML, RAPP and IPG.

What makes Sally Henderson different from a traditional executive coach?

Sally Henderson positions herself explicitly as a mentor rather than a coach. Her approach is direct, results-focused and grounded in the real-world demands of C-suite life. She uses her background in headhunting, Master NLP Practitioner training, and Motivational Map Profiling to cut through complexity and deliver clarity at pace. She does not offer open-ended reflection — she provides laser-sharp insight and practical tools that leaders can apply immediately.

Does Sally Henderson offer speaking engagements?

Yes. Sally Henderson is an experienced keynote speaker who has spoken at events including the IPA, WACL and OMNIWOMEN. She delivers talks and sessions on high-stakes leadership, the REAL Method, and navigating the demands of senior executive life.
