Keynote by Lewis Hatchett:
Most people think mental toughness is something you either have or you don’t — but that’s nonsense. Lewis breaks down the lie that resilience is about being hard, unshakable, or born with some magical grit gene. Instead, he shows how real mental strength comes from self-awareness, deliberate habits, and learning how to face yourself when things get uncomfortable. This isn’t about pretending to be okay — it’s about knowing how to show up when you’re not 100%.
Keynote by Lewis Hatchett:
Your story can either define you or drive you. In this talk, Lewis shares how being born with a rare condition, told he’d never play sport, and still making it as a pro cricketer wasn’t just luck — it was the result of rewriting the script he was handed. He helps audiences do the same: unpack the limiting stories they’ve been carrying, find strength in the struggle, and actually take control of who they’re becoming. Because the story you’re telling yourself? It’s probably outdated.
Keynote by Lewis Hatchett:
Here’s the truth: pretending to be bulletproof is killing your performance. Lewis flips the script on what it means to be “resilient” — arguing that emotional intelligence isn’t soft, it’s essential. He shows how understanding your inner world isn’t just good for your wellbeing — it’s a competitive advantage. This is for anyone who wants to stop burning out, stop bullshitting themselves, and actually start performing with clarity, purpose, and a bit more honesty.
Keynote by Lewis Hatchett:
Masculinity is having a bit of an identity crisis — and pretending everything’s fine isn’t helping. In this talk, Lewis explores what it really means to be a strong man today: not through dominance or detachment, but through character, courage, vulnerability, and self-respect. Drawing from his own story and years of working with high performers, he offers a new framework for masculinity — one that values emotional honesty over ego, and responsibility over bravado. Because strength isn’t about avoiding your emotions — it’s about being strong enough to face them.
