This is the Proving Ground for the Speakers of Tomorrow
This is the Proving Ground for the Speakers of Tomorrow
The Nxt Stage is not just another conference, and it's more than a gathering of story tellers. It’s a world-class showcase of transformation in action.
Speakers who once doubted if they could stand on stage will deliver keynotes you’ll remember for years. They’ve been through months of intense strategy, coaching, and rehearsal - meeting for two hours every week for 7 months and at The Nxt Stage, 7 of the 2025 Cohort and 1 Wild Card Speaker from The Speak More Collective will step onto their Nxt Stage.
This is the day where new voices break through. Where ideas are born and perspectives shift. Where you’ll be inspired to believe in your own next stage.

From stress to storms, culture to choices, these keynotes strip back the masks and deliver the frameworks to fuel sustainable growth, courageous leadership, and lives lived without limits.
BEFORE
THE BODY BREAKS
Stress doesn’t crash in, it creeps in - rewiring the brain, hijacking brilliance, and breaking bodies. Neuroscientist Annett Koenig exposes the biology of burnout and delivers science-backed strategies to intercept stress, protect clarity, and sustain high performance long before it’s too late.
WILD GROWTH - LEADING TEAMS WITH AN ADVENTURE MINDSET
Business today feels like climbing in a storm - fast, dangerous, exhausting. Global leader and mountaineer Ben Popplestone reveals how the Adventure Mindset™ and Guide Mentality ignite fires that fuels teams, drives Wild Growth, and gets you to the summit without burning out.
THE ONE-MINUTE RESET
(SMC WildCard)
(SMC WildCard)
In a world where stress and distraction steal focus and energy, Heidi Horne proves transformation doesn’t take hours. In The One Minute Reset, she delivers science-backed strategies to crush stress, reset the nervous system, and re-ignite productivity in just sixty seconds.
THIS IS THE POWER OF CHOICE
Forged in hardship, Jason Blyth is living proof that the power of choice can rewrite any life. In The Power of Choice, he delivers unforgettable storytelling and actionable steps to turn adversity into fuel, unlock purpose, leaving audiences unshakable, unstoppable and ready to choose differently.
IT'S OURS TO FIX: USING EVERY VOICE TO FIX THE TEAM
Disengagement is quietly breaking teams. In It’s Ours To Fix, Paul Skewes shows how shared ownership, psychological safety, and small but deliberate shifts transform culture. With behavioural science and raw storytelling, he equips audiences to rebuild trust, ignite accountability, and lead the cultural transformation every workplace is desperate for.
BEYOND THE PEAK: UNLOCKING SUSTAINABLE HIGH PERFORMANCE
Climbing high is tough. Staying there without breaking is tougher. In Beyond the Peak, endurance athlete and physiotherapist Suzanne Rath transforms fear into focus and ambition into sustainable high performance, so leaders can achieve bold goals without burnout.
FROM PENNILESS TO POWERFUL: BREAKING INTERGENERATIONAL MONEY PATTERNS
Some money beliefs were never yours - they were inherited, absorbed, or shaped by survival. Tara Saxon dismantles those patterns with raw clarity and her REVEAL–REPAIR–RECLAIM method leaving audiences with unshakable self-trust, renewed financial confidence, and the power to write a new legacy
RESILIENCE REHAB: OUR TOXIC RELATIONSHIP WITH 'HARD’
We’re addicted to performative resilience; the masks, the grind, the “just push harder” culture that breaks more than it builds. In Resilience Rehab, boxer-turned-truth-teller Tiffanee Cook rips off the mask of toughness and delivers a fight camp framework for resilience that’s raw, real, and built to last.
These aren’t household names yet but after The Nxt Stage, they will be. Each speaker has spent months honing their message to bring you a keynote that will challenge, inspire, and stay with you long after the day is done.
