Bet on Yourself: Unlocking Your Creative Potential & Career Happiness
Too many creatives move through their careers taking whatever the industry gives them—climbing corporate ladders, following expected paths, and losing sight of what truly makes them different. In this raw and insightful keynote, we’ll explore the power of betting on yourself, the fears that hold us back, and how to reconnect with your creative identity. Whether you’re questioning your next move, considering going solo, or simply seeking more fulfillment, this talk will challenge you to stop playing it safe and start building a career on your own terms.
Key Takeaways:
- The Real Roadblock: It’s not your logo, brand colors, or pitch deck—it’s you. Why self-doubt is the biggest challenge to launching your next big move.
- Defining What Makes You Different: How to stop blending in and start embracing what sets you apart.
- Breaking Free from Industry Expectations: Why waiting for the “perfect moment” is a myth and how to create your own opportunities.
- Reframing Fear & Failure: Lessons from making the leap—what I learned about risk, rejection, and real success.
- Taking Control of Your Career: Whether you’re starting your own thing or rethinking your next role, learn how to move with intention instead of just taking what’s given.
Let’s be real—being a little weird is the best thing you can do for your brand. In a world full of sameness, it’s the memorable quirks, the unexpected twists, and the “wait, who are you?” moments that make people pay attention.
I’ve taken an unconventional path to get here (think: almost failing design school, living in a van in Australia, running a wedding company in China—yeah, it’s a story), and along the way, I realized that the magic in branding isn’t about fitting in. It’s about helping people own what makes them different and turning that into a brand that feels like them.
We’ll talk about:
- Why your weirdness is your unfair advantage
- How to help clients find their real brand essence (aka their secret sauce)
- Creative confidence—showing up fully as yourself
- The unexpected paths that lead to success
If you’ve ever felt like you don’t quite fit the mold—good. That’s exactly why you’re going to thrive. Let’s talk about it.
I've taken my side hustle which helps entrepreneurs test their business ideas and create messaging that resonates with customers, to a full-time venture. In this talk, I will talk you through the early stages of developing an idea and how to validate this idea with potential customers, through to building on this by monetising and transitioning away from a side-hustle to a full-time venture.
