Keynote Talks

Talk Title:  F*ck Being Humble: Be Brave and Leave a Legacy

In a world saturated with sameness, where industries recycle trends, brands echo each other, and marketing becomes a race to the middle, there’s a crisis of originality. We’re producing more than ever, yet creating less that truly matters. This talk is a bold call to marketers, creators, and brand leaders to break free from the gravitational pull of safe ideas and short-term wins.

As marketers, we possess the rare ability to shape culture, steer conversation, and ignite change, but only if we’re willing to be brave. This session will challenge attendees to rethink what they produce, why they produce it, and who they’re really serving. It’s time to stop playing it safe and start moving things forward. Legacy isn’t built by blending in, it’s built by standing up, standing out, and daring to do what others won’t.

Everyone has the power to make bold moves, they just need to have the courage to act on it.

This session will cover:

How to make bolder ideas and decisions at any level

Why you should be focusing on legacy over consistency

How to get people talking about you, your work, and your business for all the right reasons

“Having gained some fantastic insights from attending one of Stef’s webinars, I invited her to speak to BBC Creative. It was a really well attended talk and has been widely held up to be the most useful session we’ve had. It was hugely inspiring, honest and – as usual with Stef – tremendously galvanising, with loads of positive action points to implement.”
“Stef’s content was incredibly current and engaging. Our audience of both women and men commended her on the relatability of the workshop material and the many actionable takeaways shared. Due to high demand and immense positive feedback, we have asked Stef to come back to deliver more workshops to our other UK offices.”
“The highlight of the day was the guest speaker Stefanie Sword-Williams, whose session “F Being Humble” tackled impostor syndrome head-on. Bold, energetic, and unapologetically honest, her talk encouraged self-promotion and embracing confidence in the workplace. Her insights reminded me that visibility is not vanity—it’s strategy. If we don’t advocate for ourselves, who will?”
“Stefanie Sword-Williams was brilliant. Really good way to end the day and really fitting with the theme of the whole event. She provided valuable life lessons and inspiration. She really delved into what her message was and how to best promote yourself.”
“I think the F being Humble was a great presentation. Stefanie was really engaging and made a difference with her positive attitude, I have been to similar events before where speakers just seem to focus on what not to do, whereas Stefanie gave advice on different ways to say things and to approach different situations.”
“The energy in the room was very motivating, the presentation by Stefanie was very applicable and I felt it helped us reframe our minds on how to handle nayesayers, critism and being confident in our growth.”
