  • Replace overwhelm with confidence and clarity

  • Shift from blame to bold ownership

  • Build the internal drive that delivers external results

    The Problem:
    Leadership today is riddled with hesitation, over-responsibility, and fear of getting it wrong. This keynote breaks down the internal blockers, doubt, overthinking, “imposter syndrome”, that sabotage strong leadership, even in highly experienced professionals.

    The Solution:
    This session provides a bold, practical roadmap to help leaders act with confidence, lead with clarity, and build commercial credibility through decisive, values-led action. 

    Because when leaders back themselves, they stop playing small. 

    They start showing up in ways that inspire others to do the same.

    Why Winitha:
    With a proven track record in building inclusive, high-performance cultures, Winitha knows what it’s like to sit in rooms where you self-doubt, overthink and get in your own way.

    And she knows how to help people rise with integrity, clarity and commercial impact.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Unpack the 3 hidden habits that keep leaders stuck: perfectionism, people-pleasing, and passivity

    • Build the confidence to back yourself even when the stakes feel high

    • Shift from proving your worth to leading from your values

    • Use discomfort as a signal, not a stop sign

    • Lead with the kind of courage that transforms teams, cultures, and outcomes

  • Starts at 11am

    Culture often becomes someone else’s responsibility; HR’s, leadership’s, or the brand team's. The result? Inconsistency, confusion, and a culture that looks great on posters but falls flat in practice.

    This workshop empowers people to take ownership of the culture starting with their voice, behaviour and visibility. 

    It bridges the gap between stated values and lived experience by aligning individual choices with organisational impact.

    Learning Outcomes

    • Build a culture of accountability and voice

    • Move from cultural compliance to cultural leadership

    • Learn the micro-behaviours that shape trust and performance

    • Close the gap between intention and impact

    • Create a culture where people back themselves and show up, not shrink back

  • Starts at 11:30am

    Explore nearby restaurants and cafes and support local cafes. Alternatively bring your own lunch (please note microwaves are not available). 

    Extend your network and make new contacts for support and strategic connection. 

  • Starts at 1pm

    The Problem:

    We all say we want to grow, innovate, and lead but most of us unconsciously choose comfort over courage, safety over stretch, fearing burnout and discomfort before it even happens thereby limiting our performance and potential. 

    The Solution:

    This powerful session exposes the real cost of avoiding discomfort and teaches leaders and teams how to turn it into a strategic advantage. Fast-paced, energising, and practical, this session builds real capability and action, not just inspiration.

    Why Winitha:
    Winitha Bonney OAM has been in the boardrooms where discomfort is avoided and the movements where it’s transformed into action. She speaks with commercial sharpness, deep humanity, and the lived experience of someone who’s had to stretch into discomfort and show up in a truly transformative way to lead change with impact and gravitatas.

    If you want your people to stop talking about growth and start living it Winitha is the person to lead that shift.

    Key Takeaways:

    Participants will:

    • Understand how comfort-driven behaviours show up and hold teams back

    • Reframe discomfort as essential to leadership, innovation, and growth

    • Learn a simple, powerful model to lead themselves and others through discomfort

    • Identify one discomfort-driven action to move forward with courage and conviction

    • Leave with increased self-awareness, motivation, and a tangible next step

  • Starts at 2pm

    Integration Workshop 2 – Bold Action: The Skill That Changes Everything

    Overview

    We say we want to grow. We say we need to get outside our comfort zone. We talk about being "comfortable being uncomfortable"  but in reality, we rarely do it.

    • We avoid the difficult conversation. 

    • We use governance and risk process to mask fear and avoid real innovation. 

    • We hesitate to lead boldly when it feels uncomfortable or exposing. 

    • We talk about change and growth but quietly push against anything hard, uncertain, uncomfortable, complex, chaotic or messy.

    The truth is: every single thing we want, performance, innovation, trust, ownership, growth, lives on the other side of taking bold action. And bold action requires us to move through discomfort. Till now, no one has ever shown us how to actually do discomfort well let alone make it our strength and leadership superpower. 

    Learning Outcomes

    • Identify the behavioural signs of comfort-driven cultures

    • Understand the link between discomfort and high performance

    • Build personal and team capacity to lead through discomfort and innovate

    • Apply discomfort productively in key leadership moments to ignite bold action 

  • Starts at 2:30pm

    It’s TIME - “Your One Life. All In.”

  • Starts at 4pm

    The Problem:

    You're smart, capable, and driven but you're stuck in overdelivery, hesitation, or playing smaller than your potential. You’ve ticked the boxes, earned your seat but you’re still waiting to feel ready, visible, or backed. The truth? Leadership today demands more than skill.
