About this event

Mid-year check-in or breakthrough moment? Let’s make July your turning point.

Join us for a transformational evening at PSA South East, where we’ll focus not just on achieving more—but on aligning who you are with what you do.

As professional speakers, we’re constantly evolving. This event is designed to give you the clarity, energy, and inspiration you need to power into the second half of 2025 with purpose.

You’ll hear from two inspiring PSA members—Kate Trafford FPSA and James Perryman PPSA—as they guide us through an evening of reflection, redefinition, and practical insight. You’ll leave reconnected with what success really means to you—armed with a refreshed mindset and strategy to support both your speaking business and your wellbeing.

 

Masterclass: A Goal with Soul – How to Drive for Big Results and Enjoy the Ride! – With Kate Trafford FPSA

Ready to grow your speaking business and enjoy the process?

In this inspiring and interactive session, bestselling author and TEDx speaker Kate Trafford reveals why traditional goal-setting often falls short—and how to replace it with something far more energising: your goal with soul.

This is about more than hitting targets. It’s about building a speaking career that’s sustainable, meaningful, and joyful.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Bring your brilliant best to audiences, your business, and your life
  • Identify your personal success touchstone – a powerful compass for decision-making
  • Discover and align with your goal with soul – an authentic, motivating focal point

Whether you’re scaling or seeking renewed direction, this masterclass will reconnect you with purpose and passion.

 

Keynote: How to Achieve Your Goals Without Losing Yourself Along the Way – With James Perryman PPSA

It’s the midpoint of 2025—how are your goals progressing?
Still on track? Or have some slipped into the background?

In this uplifting and thought-provoking keynote, James Perryman offers a new perspective on performance—one grounded in self-awareness, purpose, and sustainability.

He’ll help you pause, reflect, and realign—so your success doesn’t come at the expense of your wellbeing.

Key takeaways include:

  • How your past powers your present—embrace it
  • Why belief in your goals (and yourself) shapes your outcomes
  • How true high performance happens in the now, not at a distant destination

This isn’t just motivational—it’s a reset for speakers who want to grow without burning out.

 

Professional Speaker of the Year Competition
And that’s not all—this special evening also includes the Professional Speaker of the Year (PSY) regional heat, where top PSA South East Professional Members will deliver their very best 8-minute talks in a high-stakes, high-impact showcase.

Whether you’re taking part or cheering from the audience, you’ll gain valuable insights into what makes a talk bookable, powerful, and unforgettable—and leave inspired by the exceptional talent within our own PSA community.
