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

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
