Sensi Graves Speaking & Mentoring

Turning self-doubt into strategic confidence for entrepreneurs and corporate leaders.

About the Business

Sensi Graves works with entrepreneurs and corporate leaders who look successful but still doubt themselves. Drawing on 13 years of building and closing her six-figure swimwear company and a career as a pro kiteboarder, she offers speaking and mentoring to overcome self-doubt, build confidence, and excel in male-dominated spaces.

She serves two key groups: corporate leaders navigating workplace challenges and entrepreneurs building purpose-driven businesses, with actionable strategies to overcome impostor syndrome, amplify leadership voice, and turn self-doubt into strategic confidence.

Sensi helps clients see they are enough right where they are so they can have the impact they want to have on the world.

Sensi Graves

Sensi Graves is a professional watersports athlete, inspirational speaker, mindset mentor, and confidence expert. She helps people feel like they're enough now by sharing the story of becoming a pro kiteboarder and starting a business before she believed she could.

In 2012, after losing one too many string bikinis in the surf, Sensi founded Sensi Graves Swim, swimwear that actually stayed on in rough conditions. After 13 years, she shut the doors on her company to focus on speaking and mentoring on the lessons she learned building her six-figure business. There is power in moving on from what's no longer serving you, and her lessons in quitting help others let go of "having to."

Sensi also founded Strut Kite & Wing, hosting women's kiteboarding and wingfoiling retreats worldwide centered on community and empowerment. Across both businesses, her message is the same: you are good enough, right where you're at.

Featured on The Today Show, Outside TV, and in Self Magazine, Sensi has also spoken to Microsoft, the Surfrider Foundation, and Built Oregon about building confidence and owning your impact.

She lives in Hood River, Oregon, with her husband and toddler, where she is currently writing the book she always needed to read.
