Frank Malaba is a multidisciplinary artist, storyteller, photographer, and creative facilitator working between Oslo, Norway and Cape Town, South Africa. His work moves fluidly across theatre, performance, poetry, and natural light photography, guided by a central question: How does the body remember, and what stories does it insist on carrying?

Drawing from Southern African oral traditions, queer lived experience, and a deep commitment to dignity and presence, Frank creates narrative spaces where memory becomes a form of knowledge. His solo works, including Stories of My Bones and The Chaos of Belonging, have toured internationally, inviting audiences into intimate encounters with ancestry, identity, and the quiet rituals that shape us.

As a photographer, Frank documents everyday rituals and marginalised lives with tenderness and clarity. His 2025 exhibition Rituals opened in Cape Town to critical acclaim, and his ongoing project I Met a Mermaid explores African water spirituality, homelessness, and the ocean as a site of survival and myth.

He is also the founder and curator of Uncovered: Stories in Oslo (Avdekket: Fortellinger i Oslo), a live storytelling platform centred on true, lived narratives. His facilitation practice blends embodiment, listening, and community building, creating spaces where people can speak from the truth of their lived experience.

Across all mediums, Frank works from the belief that storytelling is not performance, it is presence, witness, and a return to the body as archive.

The Reinvention Advantage: Unlocking Potential in People and Organizations

Hani Kafoury is a speaker, psychologist, executive coach, and former senior business leader who helps individuals, leaders, and organizations build resilience, navigate change, and unlock their potential.

After more than 30 years in senior leadership roles within multinational organizations, Hani became a licensed psychologist in his 50s and recently completed a doctoral dissertation examining the determinants of psychological resilience in business leaders during times of adversity and major change. This unique combination of executive leadership experience, psychological expertise, and doctoral-level research enables him to bridge the gap between leadership theory and the realities leaders face every day.

Over the course of his career, Hani has coached hundreds of leaders—from frontline supervisors to senior executives—across sectors including telecommunications, automotive, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, technology, and paper products. His clients include Bell Canada, Ericsson, Ford of Canada, Cascades, TELUS Health, Bristol Myers Squibb, Janssen Pharma, Merck Canada, Otsuka Pharma, Genome Québec, BDC Capital, and Kronos Canada.

A passionate advocate for lifelong growth and reinvention, Hani's message is grounded not only in research and professional experience, but also in lived experience. He has run several marathons, climbed Mount Kilimanjaro and produced a documentary about the experience that was nominated at several independent film festivals, completed a full IRONMAN triathlon and a Spartan obstacle race, built a second career as a psychologist, and completed a doctoral dissertation in his 60s.

Dr. Stephanie Nash, PhD, OTR/L, is an occupational therapist, intuitive practitioner, and the founder of Paradigm Expansions, where she helps high-achieving empaths, women, and especially those who have spent a lifetime over-functioning for others find their way back to themselves. Her work sits at a rare intersection: clinical neuroscience and rehabilitation science meet chakra-based and intuitive frameworks, giving the analytical mind permission to step aside so the soul can be heard.
Dr. Steph speaks on the science and spirituality of intuition, what it really means to choose yourself without being selfish, and why we need an expanded paradigm of who we are as both spiritual and human beings. Drawing on her own journey from self-abandonment to self-reclamation, chronicled in her forthcoming book The D Word, she brings audiences a rare combination of clinical credibility and lived experience.
Her talks leave audiences with both a framework and a felt sense of permission, whether she's speaking to a room of women rebuilding after loss, empaths learning to set boundaries, or teenagers beginning to ask who they are beneath who they were told to be.

Helen Millar is a speaker, emotional intelligence consultant and transformation coach helping leaders, founders and organisations build the inner capacity to thrive in the age of AI.

With nearly two decades of international coaching experience, an award-winning acting career and a profound personal healing journey, Helen brings rare depth to conversations about leadership, change, resilience and human potential. Her work sits at the intersection of emotional fitness, conscious leadership, communication, psychology, money, faith and strategy.

Helen is a regular speaker at Oxford, Cambridge and London Business Schools, has been featured on the Discovery Channel across three continents, and is the founder of Helen Millar, Hearty.Company and Heart Healer®. Through Hearty, her consultancy brand, she works with organisations and executive teams on emotional intelligence, leadership presence and the human skills AI cannot replace.

Her signature keynote, Emotional Fitness is the Leadership Edge in the Age of AI, explores why the future will not belong to the most intelligent machines alone, but to the most emotionally intelligent leaders. As technology accelerates, leaders need more than strategy, systems and skills. They need nervous system capacity, discernment, authenticity, relational intelligence and the ability to meet uncertainty without collapse or control.

Helen also speaks powerfully on healing your relationship with money, self-worth and change, particularly for female founders, creatives and high-achieving professionals whose external success has outpaced their internal stability. Having transformed her own life from self-sabotage, ill health and financial scarcity into a thriving portfolio of meaningful work, property, investment and global impact, Helen does not speak about transformation as theory. She has lived it.

Her approach combines emotional intelligence, psychological insight, spiritual wisdom and grounded business acumen through her Head to Heart Living and Head to Heart Leadership frameworks. The result is work that is intelligent, human, practical and deeply transformational.

Helen’s talks are ideal for organisations, leadership events, women’s leadership programmes, founder communities, wellbeing conferences and future-of-work conversations seeking a speaker who can bring emotional depth, commercial relevance and a powerful human perspective to the age of AI.

Stephanie Keldani is a Keynote Speaker, Identity Architect, and the founder of the 180° Academy. She helps leaders, visionaries, and high-capacity creators navigate profound disruption, unlock deep inner authority, and turn intense friction into their ultimate competitive advantage.

Stephanie’s expertise was forged in the extremes. After escaping a high-control cult as a child—where she experienced severe suppression and systematic trauma—she was forced to rebuild her internal architecture from the ground up. What began as a personal necessity for survival evolved into a rigorously tested, high-performance recalibration process for global leaders ready to stop leading from past obstacles and start leading from truth.

Going far beyond typical mindset work, Stephanie’s keynotes deliver a potent blend of nervous-system level transformation, intuitive intelligence, and practical adaptability frameworks. Whether she is guiding audiences to decouple their self-worth from automation in the age of AI, dissolve deeply rooted patterns of self-sabotage, or lead with absolute conviction from their own core, she empowers people to step into sovereign command of their vision.

Through engaging storytelling, radical transparency, and actionable insights, Stephanie moves audiences from survival mode to profound breakthrough—leaving them regulated, rewired, and ready to lead the future with unwavering clarity.

Dr. Noémi Nagy is an Assistant Professor of Career & Technical/Workforce Education at the University of South Florida and Affiliate Faculty at the Nault Center for Entrepreneurship. Her research focuses on workforce development, and the psychology of sustainable careers in rapidly changing industries such as technology and cybersecurity. Her research is international and cross-disciplinary and she works with researchers from Switzerland, Germany, Singapore, UK, the U.S. and Australia.
She’s the author of the internationally recognized Career Resources Model, featured in the London School of Economics Business Review, which breaks down the 13 trainable factors that make or break a successful career. Her research goes way beyond theory: it covers how people actually find jobs (job search behavior, published in PNAS), how they shape their roles to fit their strengths (job crafting), and how they can take charge of their careers instead of waiting for luck or management to do it for them.
Altogether, Dr. Nagy’s research has been cited over 800 times around the world and has earned multiple international awards for its real-world impact. She takes what works in Switzerland’s high-trust, precision-driven innovation scene and brings it to Tampa Bay’s fast-growing tech and cybersecurity community, helping professionals and teams build the mindset, motivation, and structure to grow stronger, stay relevant, and perform at their best.

Camilo Zambrano is an author, TEDx speaker, founder of Self Disciplined and Adaptable Discipline, and a software engineer by background.

His work reframes discipline as the practice of return: the skill of coming back to what matters after stress, distraction, conflict, overwhelm, or drift. He draws from systems thinking, behavioral theory, neuroscience, and psychology to explain why people drift, what makes returning harder, and how to design conditions that make returning easier.

Camilo speaks about return as a meta-skill, comeback speed, burnout, focus, emotional regulation, neurodivergence, leadership, and the systems that help people and teams recover coherence when life or work pulls them off course.

His TEDx talk, "The Gentle Art of Finding Your Way Back," introduces the central idea behind his work: drift is the default; the return is the skill.
