More on Sharon Aneja, Founder of Humanity Works Consultancy
Sharon Aneja is a sought-after keynote speaker and founder of Humanity Works Consultancy, known for helping leaders not just navigate uncertainty -but grow stronger because of it.
After two decades leading global teams across FTSE 100 and Fortune 500 companies, a life-threatening illness changed everything. Sharon’s recovery didn’t just redefine her health-it redefined her leadership. She stepped away from a high-flying career to ask a better question:
What if our hardest moments could make us better leaders?
Today, Sharon speaks to what she calls Resilience 2.0 - a mindset that moves leaders beyond bouncing back to bouncing forward, where they grow stronger through challenge. It’s the foundation of anti-fragile leadership: where leadership teams stay aligned under pressure, make better decisions faster, and lead cultures that perform at their best through the uncertainty.
She’s delivered powerful keynotes to thousands of leaders, including at the Everywoman Tech Forum (twice), CHRN Conference, and Barnet Council Leadership Summit. She appeared in the U.S. documentary Wired for Connection and is a featured voice in HR Zone, Everywoman, and the Institute of Leadership.
Known to clients as the “Chief Heart Officer,” Sharon brings commercial sharpness, deep coaching insight, and a truly human voice to every stage.
