Biography
Alexandra Forsyth is a public speaker, host and human performance expert who explores what it takes for leaders and organisations to perform at their best while protecting the people behind the performance.
Her work sits at the intersection of human intelligence and organisational performance, with a particular focus on leadership, resilience, burnout, performance culture and sustainable ambition. Through her speaking, leadership workshops and podcast, Take A Chance On You, Alexandra brings leaders, founders, creatives and athletes into honest conversations about ambition, transformation, burnout and the human side of high performance.
Alexandra's work is increasingly focused on the challenges facing leaders and organisations navigating rapid growth, constant change and AI transformation. She explores how organisations can embrace new technology without losing the human qualities that drive trust, good decision-making, resilience and long-term performance.
She is the creator of the H.U.M.A.N. ROI Matrix, a human performance framework designed to help organisations identify the hidden friction that can affect wellbeing, clarity, autonomy, decision-making and sustainable performance. Her keynote talks and workshops combine storytelling, strategic thinking and practical insight to help leaders understand what enables people and organisations to perform sustainably.
Alexandra's previous career in cyber security, predominantly in threat intelligence, gives her a distinctive perspective on operating in high-pressure environments, assessing risk and making decisions when the stakes are high. She brings this experience together with her work in leadership and human performance to explore how organisations can build resilience without creating cultures that rely on chronic pressure or burnout.
Alongside her speaking and workshop work, Alexandra is the founder and host of Take A Chance On You, a purpose-driven transatlantic podcast. She has been shortlisted for Purpose-Driven Creator of the Year at CreatorFest 2026 and is a judge for the British Podcast Awards 2026.
