| 11:20 - 11:35 | Charley Brennand | Founder of Performance MCR & The Performance Academy | It’s Not Enough to Be in the Room | For years I was “visible” in my industry, but invisible in influence.

This talk explores the difference between being counted and being heard, and how to build a voice people ACTUALLY listen to. |
| 11:35 - 11:50 | Beckie Taylor | Co-founder Empower | The Power of Finding your Voice | Everyone has a unique voice, but few feel empowered to use it. In this inspiring talk, discover what it means to truly find your voice: why it matters, what typically holds us back, and the practical steps you can take to express your truest self. Through personal stories, interactive moments, and actionable insights, explore how owning your voice transforms both your confidence and your impact. |
