About this event

Whether you’re an aspiring speaker or a seasoned professional, this event is your ticket to a transformational experience.

Join us and become part of a community where innovation, collaboration and the power of speech converge to help you become an extraordinary professional speaker

We start early so you can network with other like-minded professionals and grow relationships for exciting new collaborations

Then our line-up has two stellar speakers, Kate Trafford and James Perryman

Kate will be talking to us about “A Goal with Soul: How to Drive for Big Results and Enjoy the Ride!”

Do you have ambitious goals for yourself and your business in 2025, but worry about the cost to your health, relationships and your sanity? Are you ready to achieve stellar success as a speaker AND enjoy more fun, meaning and satisfaction along the way?

In this uplifting and interactive session you will discover:

  • The key to bringing your brilliant best to your audiences, your business and your life as a whole
  • How to find a ‘goal with soul’ – a focus point to help you joyfully grow as you go
  • A powerful touchstone you can use to stay connected to what matters most – even when moving at pace

James will be showing us ‘How to achieve your goals without losing yourself along the way.’

As you headed into 2025, did you set some goals, aspirations or resolutions? If so, how are they going a month or two in? Did you start them and then felt they were too hard? Have they gone on the backburner? Are you nicely on track or it is some-one else’s goal you’re trying to reach??

In the pursuit of bringing and being your brilliant best, it can be normal to pin your dreams to a destination. A destination where in that moment, your goals are met, life is balanced and where you have reached “happy”. A moment where your version of ‘high performance’ is a reality.

In his enlightening and pragmatic session, James will show you how:

  • Achieving your goals comes from believing in them, yourself and the actions you take today.
  • Everything you’ve learnt, experienced and done in the past, is what makes the present you.
  • ‘High performance’ should be a way of living in the present, more than a measure of the future.

Intermingled with fabulous company, food and lots of valuable takeaways for you and your speaking business, it’s going to be an event you don’t want to miss!
