Keynote: What a Year of Invisibility Has Cost Me and My Business

What happens when a speaking and media coach - someone whose work is built around helping others find their voice, show up and be seen - loses her own confidence and starts to hide?

For Jacqui Maloney, the impact was significant.

In this honest and deeply personal keynote, Jacqui takes us behind the scenes of the past 12 months and shares what stepping away from visibility has cost her, both personally and professionally.

At a time when we're constantly being told to build our personal brands, put ourselves out there and "be visible", Jacqui found herself doing the opposite. Her confidence had taken a hit, showing up felt harder than ever, and the very thing she taught others to do suddenly became something she was struggling with herself.

But rebuilding her confidence didn't mean becoming louder, posting more or forcing herself to show up in ways that didn't feel right.

It meant finding her way.

Jacqui will share how she began speaking up even when she didn't feel confident, asking for opportunities she previously wouldn't have backed herself for, and redefining what visibility could look like when she stopped trying to do it everyone else's way.

It's a raw and relatable reminder that confidence doesn't always come before action. Sometimes, we have to take the action first - and allow the confidence to follow.

For every woman who has ever doubted herself, played small, disappeared for a while or wondered whether she still has what it takes, this keynote is your reminder that you can find your way back - and you can do it Confidently You.
