About this event
Impact into Action! With Darren Harris and David Hyner
Join us for another outstanding evening at PSA East Midlands as we welcome two powerhouse speakers and turn this month’s event into a Brummie takeover! Get ready for our high energy and good vibes only special guests, Darren Harris and David Hyner!
First up will be Darren Harris:
Darren will take to the stage to share his incredible journey and insights, helping you transform your mindset and take your impact to the next level.
Then David Hyner will raise our speaking game with Presenting Without Notes:
Picture this…
You step onto the stage, your mind goes blank, and panic sets in. Your heart pounds, your stomach churns, and all you see are expectant faces staring back at you.
We’ve all been there – BUT NEVER AGAIN!
In this game-changing session, David will teach you how to present with confidence, without notes or even a slide deck! Learn how to captivate your audience, boost your credibility, and deliver powerful presentations with ease.
You want more…? You got it!
We will also have our amazing Showcase Speakers – Talented PSA members who will deliver 10 or 20 minute talks for practice and expert feedback.
There will be the Robin Hood Randomiser – A spontaneous speaking challenge for those who are game!
As well as the usual networking & connections – Meet fellow speakers, share ideas, and build meaningful relationships in our warm and welcoming East Mids community.

IMPORTANT UPDATE – New Ticket Pricing & Changes to Food
Please note that we no longer offer a hot buffet as part of this event.
We will provide hot and cold drinks and snacks during the break.
The Village Hotel has an onsite sports bar with a full menu and a Starbucks coffee shop, where you can purchase food if desired. There is also a McDonalds, M&S Food, and a Costa coffee shop on the neighbouring retail park.
There will be a break between the member only masterclass and the main event (16:30 – 17:45) where we will no doubt head to the sports bar (or similar) for food if wanted.
Keynote speakers
Darren Harris is a speaker, coach and facilitator who gives people in business and education the psychological skills to overcome adversity. He works with organisations that want a fun, unique and positive perspective.
He lost his sight after he was diagnosed with cancer of both eyes. But although he couldn’t regain his sight, he could unblind his mind, which meant transforming how he viewed blindness.
A dual Paralympian, Darren is best known as England’s most capped blind footballer. But he also competed at the Games in judo.
His motto is “Your eyes are useless unless you use what’s between your ears”.
