To say Aleisha McCall started Session 2 with a bang is an understatement. Charisma and energy? She's got it in bucketloads. Storytelling skills? You bet. 15 years' experience delivering market-beating results? Yep, she's a triple threat — but in the best way. Aleisha generously shared her expert knowledge, frameworks, and methodologies to help us create profitable media campaigns to promote and scale our businesses. From starting with the end in mind and staying ahead of the pack to ensuring your message matches the media (and your website isn’t holding you back), Aleisha's keynote was 90 minutes of non-stop value, insider know-how, proof of concept, and killer strategies to make your next campaign clickable and profitable. Her biggest message? The magic is in the *doing* — and we couldn't agree more. We love you, Aleisha McCall 💖

Fern Canning, our final speaker of day one (and self-confessed karaoke enthusiast), closed the day by bringing her extensive experience shaping the strategies for major global brands to the stage. Drawing from her work with some of *the* biggest names in the game, Fern explored the crucial link between eminence and brand awareness, emphasised the importance of timing and consistency in brand recognition, and challenged us with the thought-provoking question: "How can your expertise help your audience shine?" Expertly walking us through the relationship between voice, reputation, and brand while emphasising the critical role of personal branding in business success, Fern's presentation was a masterclass on how to (and how NOT to) show up as a thought leader, use the 3 Cs of messaging to build trust with your audience, and harness the power of authentic communication to conquer LinkedIn like a boss. You're the best, Fern Canning. Stay tuned for more speaker wrap-ups from day 2!

Mark Bonchek, our token 'bloken' (his words, not ours!), rocked Session 2 with his 'Navigating Transformative Change' keynote that was…well, transformative-AF. Offering a fresh perspective on personal and professional transformation, Mark emphasised that we need to embrace change in a disruptive world and challenged us to think and act differently – and then innovate accordingly. With 'a-ha!' moments dropping with each new slide, Mark's talk had us all considering our potential, evaluating where we are in our own stage of transformation, and encouraging us to see the ongoing journey of change in a new light. 'Navigating Transformative Change'? More like 'Blowing Our Minds 101'. We love you, Mark Bonchek.

Our first speaker, Jackie Furey from Bedrooms to Boardrooms, started the conference strong, highlighting how our unconscious drives our everyday actions. (TBH, we weren’t expecting a free psych session and deep dive into generational trauma before 10am, but hot damn, it was the pep talk we needed.) Dropping big truthbombs peppered with some genuinely LOL-inducing personal stories, Jackie delved into the difference between how men and women view success and significance, the concept of taking versus giving, the complex emotions women navigate, and the societal messaging that shapes our self-perception. A delightful mix of profound insights into psychology and self-awareness, Jackie’s opening presentation will go down in the BC history books as one of the best ever. Thankyou Jackie Furey, we love you.
