               ​KEYNOTE Speaker

              STACEY FOLEY
              Keynote Speaker

              The 3% Club: How to Defy the Odds & Rewrite Your Story                            Every woman has dreams big, bold, life-changing dreams. But too often, they trade their dreams for approval, their confidence for comparison, and their voice for the comfort of blending in. They 
              shrink themselves to fit expectations, silencing the fire inside them in exchange for acceptance.
              In this inspirational and transformative keynote, Stacey Foley challenges women to break free from the pressure to conform and step into the 3%?the rare few who dare to dream bigger, lead with courage, and own their worth unapologetically. 

              The 3% Club is more than just a keynote; it's a wake-up call, a movement, and an invitation to step into the life you were meant to live. Through her powerful story of resilience, Stacey equips women  with the mindset shifts, strategies, and confidence they need to break barriers, defy expectations, and create a life that feels deeply aligned with who they truly are. 
              This is a call to rise to reject the status quo, embrace your authenticity, and take up space in a world that often tells women to play small. Because the women who change the world aren't the ones who follow the crowd; they're the ones who dare to believe they are already enough and then have the courage to act like it.

              1. You Were Born to Stand Out: Women will realize that they don't have to fit into someone else's version of perfect to be worthy. Their uniqueness is their superpower, and owning it is the first step to creating an extraordinary life. 

              2. Your Worth Isn't Measured by Likes, Followers, or Approval: They'll discover that true self-worth isn't tied to external validation but comes from within - constant, unshakeable, and entirely their own.           
                   
              3. You Have the Power to Choose the 3% Life: Being part of the 3% isn't about being the smartest, the most talented, or the most successful it's about courage, resilience, and the decision to live boldly, authentically, and with purpose. 

              4. Resilience is Your Secret Weapon: Life will bring challenges, but women will leave with the mindset and tools to rise after failure, push through self-doubt, and use setbacks as setups for comebacks.             
                 
              5. You Can Lead, Impact, and Inspire - Right Now: They don't have to wait for someday? to make a difference. By stepping into their worth today, they can become leaders, entrepreneurs, and women they dream of becoming - proving that the 3% are the ones who change the world.

               


               WORKSHOPS

              Kelly Sinclair
              How to Use AI Strategically to Stand Out, Gain More Visibility & Grow Your Own Business
               
              Visibility is the key to growing your business, but many entrepreneurs hold themselves back because they don't feel confident in how to show up as a thought leader. They get stuck overthinking what to say, how to position themselves, or how to actually implement visibility opportunities.

              AI can remove these barriers by helping you quickly create the materials you need whether it's preparing for a podcast, writing promotional copy, or drafting pitches so you can say YES to more opportunities without the overwhelm. 
              AI isn't here to replace you it's here to help you show up more confidently, maximize visibility opportunities and create momentum. But to make it work for your business, you need the right system (and a few smart tricks!).

              The secret to AI-powered visibility? It's NOT about handing over your content to a robot it's about using AI strategically to amplify your voice, expand your reach, and free up time for the visibility activities that actually grow your business.

              And you can do it in a way that feels authentic and aligned with your brand

              Takeaways
              1. How to use AI to simplify visibility (without losing authenticity).
              2. The #1 tool that makes AI-generated content actually sound like YOU.
              3. How to build momentum and consistently land more opportunities without relying on social media.
              4. AI-powered shortcuts that help you get 5x the exposure from every visibility opportunity.

              Workshop 2 (Option B):

              The Parts We Play: Why You Sabotage, Overdo, or Shrink
              (Even When You Know Better)  

              Meet your dominant inner archetype -Mother, Daughter, or Woman and shift how you lead, relate, and care for yourself.

              Ever find yourself over-explaining, people-pleasing, procrastinating—or going all in until you burn out—and then thinking, “Why am I doing this again?”

              In this unfiltered, refreshingly honest workshop, you’ll uncover your dominant inner archetypes (like the Over-Responsible Mother or the People-Pleasing Daughter) that take the wheel when things feel hard or high-stakes—and how they might be quietly sabotaging your business, relationships, or personal wellbeing.

              You’ll identify your dominant archetype, understand what she’s trying to protect you from, and learn how to shift into your embodied, resourceful self—the version of you who leads with clarity, calm, and confidence across all areas of life.

              This isn’t surface-level mindset fluff. It’s a deep, compassionate reset that will help you understand why you do what you do—and what’s truly possible when you stop running the old survival scripts.




              Workshop 3 Options:
              Suzy Rounce
              Workshop 3 (Option A):

              All about making people act 
              In this workshop,  we'll explore how to turn your customers into loyal, raving fans. When people feel a genuine connection to your brand, they're more likely to buy from you and spread the word. This creates a ripple effect, helping you grow a profitable business by solving their problems and making them feel part of something bigger than themselves. This is true in good times and tough times.

              In this session, we'll guide you through practical strategies to inspire action, build stronger customer relationships, and craft messages that truly resonate. By the end, you'll leave with a hands-on worksheet to apply these insights directly to your business and start creating real impact right away. Let's get started on the journey to turning customers into lifelong supporters who not only buy from you but help you build momentum and amplify your success!

              Workshop 3 (Option B):

              Power & Grace - Entrepreneurship & Womanhood

              Female empowerment is about embracing strength, resilience, and grace in both business and life. As entrepreneurs, women are not just building businesses; they are reshaping industries, redefining leadership, and creating impact through innovation and collaboration. True power lies not in competing, but in uplifting others—fostering a culture where success is collective and leadership is rooted in authenticity, wisdom, and grace over exhaustion. The foundation of the feminine is not in force but in flow, where strength comes from intuition, adaptability, and the ability to lead with both courage and compassion.

              Key Takeaways from the Workshop
              1. The Feminine Strength in Leadership
                  • Understand how grace, intuition, and emotional intelligence are powerful leadership tools.
                  • Learn to cultivate resilience without burnout, focusing on sustainable success rather than relentless struggle.
              2. Collaboration Over Competition
                  • Shift from a scarcity mindset to one of abundance, where supporting others strengthens your own success.
                  • Explore ways to create meaningful partnerships that amplify impact rather than isolate effort.
