Heather Moyse

Olympic Gold Medalist, Occupational Therapist

Heather Moyse is one of Canada’s most exceptional multi-sport athletes, a four-time Olympian, and a two-time Olympic gold medalist in bobsleigh. Renowned for her relentless drive, resilience, and leadership, Heather inspires audiences worldwide to push past perceived limits, redefine what’s possible, and achieve extraordinary results.

Heather’s athletic career spans multiple sports and international stages. She captured Olympic gold in Vancouver (2010) and Sochi (2014), represented Canada’s National Women’s Rugby Team at multiple World Cups — where she was the top try-scorer in 2006 and 2010 — and helped Canada secure silver at the 2013 Rugby Sevens World Cup. In 2016, she became only the second Canadian, and first Canadian female, inducted into the World Rugby Hall of Fame. That same year, she competed in track cycling, placing Top 5 in two events at the Pan-Am Championships, and even climbed Antarctica’s highest peak, Mount Vinson, to support Canadian Armed Forces veterans.

Armed with a master’s degree in occupational therapy, Heather has seamlessly transitioned from elite athlete to high-performance coach, leadership consultant, and motivational speaker. She has inspired global audiences, including TEDx, CIBC, BMW, Sun Life Financial, Fidelity Investments, Royal Canadian Mint, Canada Post, and the Canadian Armed Forces.

Heather’s bestselling book, Redefining ‘Realistic’ (2017), challenges individuals to question their limits, confront self-doubt, and build the mindset of a champion. Combining powerful storytelling with practical frameworks, Heather empowers audiences to embrace discomfort, find courage in adversity, and lead with authenticity.

Whether on stage, on the field, or on top of a mountain, Heather Moyse embodies the pursuit of excellence — proving that greatness begins the moment you stop letting “realistic” define your potential.
