Dr. Julia Grosse is the founder of The Cyclical CEO™, where she helps high-performing women and business teams achieve sustainable growth by syncing strategy with biology. With a background in biology and years of field research—including leadership experience during the largest polar science mission of our time, the MOSAiC Arctic Expedition—Julia bridges performance science, female leadership, and business systems.

Her career began as a scientist, but burnout and firsthand leadership experience in extreme environments revealed a missing piece: productivity and decision-making don’t operate on a 24-hour schedule, especially for women. This insight led her to pioneer rhythm-based business frameworks that combine hormonal intelligence, cognitive science, and modern productivity models.

Through her signature programs—like the Business Rhythm Blueprint and the S.C.A.L.E. Method—Julia has equipped leaders, entrepreneurs, and HR professionals across Europe to harness their natural cycles for better focus, communication, and wellbeing. Her work has been featured in New Me Event Series, Leaders Perception Magazine, and the Womanship “Behind the Bio” podcast.

Julia’s practical, evidence-based approach activates audiences: her sessions don’t just inform—they inspire action and lasting results. Whether you’re scaling a business, building resilient teams, or seeking new models for sustainable performance, Julia brings a fresh science-backed perspective that redefines leadership for the future of work.

Hani Kafoury is more than a speaker—he is a rare bridge between the worlds of executive leadership and psychology. A former senior corporate executive turned licensed psychologist, Hani brings a unique and deeply credible perspective on leadership, resilience, change, and human potential.

His doctoral dissertation focused on the determinants of psychological resilience in business leaders during times of adversity and major change. Combined with advanced certifications in the people side of change and decades of leadership experience within multinational organizations, Hani offers audiences both evidence-based insights and practical strategies that can be applied immediately in real-world leadership contexts.

Hani’s presentations go beyond inspiration. They challenge leaders to rethink how they respond to uncertainty, adversity, pressure, and transformation. Blending psychology, leadership experience, research, and powerful storytelling, he equips audiences to lead with greater resilience, adaptability, confidence, and purpose—both professionally and personally.

What makes Hani especially compelling is that his message is grounded not only in professional expertise, but also in lived experience. His life reflects a continuous pursuit of growth through challenge: running marathons in his 20s, embarking on global adventures in his 30s, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and producing a documentary about the experience, and completing an IRONMAN competition in his 50s. These experiences reinforce the philosophy at the heart of his work: meaningful transformation happens when we step beyond comfort and become what we must.

Hani has delivered impactful seminars, keynote presentations, and workshops for organizations including the Association of Change Management Professionals, BDC Capital, Bristol Myers Squibb, Cascades Canada, EnsembleEQ, Ford of Canada, Genome Québec, Janssen Pharma, Kronos Canada, London Drugs, Merck Canada Inc., Otsuka Pharma, the Pharmaceutical Marketing Club of Quebec (PMCQ), Pharmacy-U, and Telus Health.

Recognized for his dynamic presence, authenticity, and practical approach, Hani has spoken internationally across North America, Europe, and the Middle East, connecting with audiences across industries and cultures. Fluent in both English and French, he delivers engaging presentations that resonate deeply and leave lasting impact.

Through his presentations, Hani shares the key determinants of psychological resilience identified through his doctoral research, while also drawing from advanced certifications and professional expertise in the areas of change, wellbeing, and mindfulness. He equips leaders and teams with practical, evidence-based strategies to build resilience, adapt successfully to change, and foster greater wellbeing in today’s demanding and rapidly evolving world.

Lynda Williams spent a decade building an award-winning PR agency across South East Asia and Hong Kong. She led multi-generational teams, won international clients, and by every external measure — was at the top of her game. She also learned the hard way that resilience built on achievement rather than self-worth has a shelf life.
Now a Tranformation Coach, Key Note Speaker and host of the podcast P.S I Love Me, Lynda works with high-achieving individuals who are brilliant at performing — and ready to start leading differently.
Her keynote "Gen Z, Self-Worth and the Future of Leadership" is a straight-talking, deeply personal exploration of why Gen Z aren't the problem — they're the mirror. And what every leader in the room needs to look at before that mirror breaks.
Lynda brings rare credibility to this conversation — not as a theorist, but as someone who lived the old model, paid the price for it, and rebuilt from the inside out.
