Keynote - Stefanie Sword-Williams

Too many talented people hold back, softening their voices, downplaying achievements or waiting to be noticed. In this empowering and highly relatable keynote, Stephanie challenges the idea that confidence is arrogance and explores why “staying small” helps no one. Blending personal storytelling with cultural insight, she shows how individuals can own their value and how organisations can create environments where people feel confident to speak up, be seen and thrive.
