About Us
SALLY STEADMAN - Author, Analyst, Coach
Sally grew up in small town New Zealand, in a family where motorcycle racing was a key focus. She inevitably went onto race herself, but encountered a life changing head injury in 2002, which gave her increased sensitivity to the world of emotions.
A year later, she went on to complete a bachelor’s degree in Psychology, to provide Mental Performance Coaching to racers.
She then followed a nomadic lifestyle, continuing to work in IT as a Business Analyst, across Australia and NZ. This work provided Sally with the valuable ability to quickly conceptualise complex systems and processes.
After writing an ebook on Sport Psychology tools for motorcycle racing, she combined her analytical skills with her emotional sensitivity and intuitive capability (also thanks to the head injury), and applied it all to the often-elusive world of emotions.
Her first output was the emotions mapped video, which enables us to see emotions from a fresh, visual perspective. Over the next few years, she embarked on the painstaking task of writing an emotion guide on 21 of the most common ‘negative’ emotions, which she chose to instead transfer into a more creative and engaging online format.
It was around this time she teamed up with Nathan Wallis, Neuroscience Educator, who spent countless hours reviewing her work and providing feedback, along with guidance to help make the content more digestible – which Nathan is an absolute master at.
