You’re ambitious
but something is pulling you back.

Maybe you’re a leader under pressure. Maybe you're a high-performing professional tired of waiting for “next year.”

Or maybe you’re someone with a dream you’ve been sitting on - a business, a project, a career move, and you know it’s time.

And your stalling, maybe for months, maybe for years and you don't know why. Either way, you can feel your momentum slipping. And you’re ready for more.

The truth? Most people aren’t missing capability or skill.

And they are not missing information or knowledge.

They are missing NEW knowledge and NEW information - the kind that only comes from deep self awareness that unlocks and unblocks.

They’re missing capacityconviction, and the courage to start.

Here’s why.

What's really holding you back in your career, leadership, or personal ambitions

Today, we’re all battling the same silent force:

  • Staying quiet when we should speak up

  • Waiting for permission

  • Holding back our ideas or potential

  • Playing small to stay safe

  • Putting our dreams on hold

  • Prioritising the needs and expectations of others rather than our own

  • Making ourselves uncomfortable so that others feel comfortable being around us

  • Letting fear of failure or success override bold action

  • Indulging in old behaviours and habits that sabotage and undermine our efforts to succeed

  • Feeling overwhelmed and burnout by the workload, the metrics and the office politics

I know this deeply.

As a Sri Lankan Tamil migrant, founder, ex-professional dancer, CEO, and speaker - someone who’s rebuilt herself more than once, I know what it means to back yourself when everything and everyone around you is telling you not to.

We’re not the problem. And yet, sometimes we are. The real enemy? Inertia.

Our brains are wired to keep us in our comfort zone. To maintain the status quo.

Our job is to breakthrough that biology. Because inertia can be overcome once we learn how to get out of our own way and truly back ourselves.

And once we do, we take our spot in the world.

This is not a conference.

This is not another training program. This is not another “feel good” session that evaporates by Monday.

This is a high-voltage intervention designed to activate:

  • Leaders wanting to shift how they lead to shift culture and results

  • Professionals wanting to level up

  • Ambitious individuals ready to start, grow, or change direction

  • Anyone who knows they’re meant for more

This is a curated, intimate and exclusive room facilitated by Winitha Bonney OAM - a change agent, and the expert people trust and call when they’re ready to step up and achieve real results that matter. When they need help to breakthrough the highly sensitive, difficult and hard situations and the person organisations and leaders trust when they want to come out stronger and better, not broken and burnout.

Whether you’re leading a team or leading your own life and career this experience will move you into bold action to transform you from the inside out.

Leadership & Life Activation Experience

For leaders and individuals ready for real change and real results.

What You’ll Walk Away With

Whether you come as a leader, a professional, or an individual with a big goal, you’ll leave with:

  • Clarity on what’s holding you back and what needs to shift

  • Courage to take action even when you feel unready

  • Tools to build momentum, cut friction, and get unstuck

  • A roadmap to step into your next move in leadership, career, or business

  • A renewed identity grounded in agency, accountability, and self-belief

This is not just inspiration. It’s activation with leveraged momentum and strategic cut through.

If you want 2026 to look different to 2025, you belong in this room.

Because a new you isn't about a new year.

It's a new strategy underpinned by new actions, new behaviours and a mindset thats been rewired.

If you want a different outcome, it will take a different strategy and different actions.

This is the rewiring you never knew that you always needed.

Event Details

Event Schedule

Registration starts at 9am

  • 9:00 AM – Arrival & High-Energy Welcome

    The day opens with a warm, energising welcome designed to help you drop into the space, connect with others, and prepare for transformation.

    Winitha sets the tone for the day, outlining the journey ahead and what it means to step forward with intention, courage, and ownership.

  • 10:00 AM – Session 1: Back Yourself - The Leadership Advantage

    This powerful opening keynote sets the foundation for the entire day. Winitha unpacks what it truly means to “back yourself”, not as a motivational phrase, but as a leadership skill that shapes decisions, confidence, influence, and impact. She draws from psychology, leadership research, and lived experience to show how self-belief directly affects performance and results.

    As an award-winning leader and global keynote speaker, Winitha helps participants identify where they’ve been second-guessing themselves and how that has been limiting their leadership. This session reframes self-trust as a strategic advantage in work, business, and life.

    Session outcomes:

    • Understand how backing yourself directly impacts leadership and influence

    • Identify internal barriers that hold you back from stepping up

    • Learn practical strategies to strengthen self-belief under pressure

    • Gain clarity on how to lead with conviction and authenticity

  • 11:00 AM – Integration Workshop 1: Activate Your Leadership: Culture starts with us

    This interactive workshop bridges insight and action. Winitha guides participants through practical exercises that help them recognise how their everyday behaviours, attitudes, and decisions shape culture: whether in teams, organisations, families, or communities.

    Drawing on her leadership programs and facilitation experience, Winitha helps participants move from awareness to responsibility. This session is about activating leadership from the inside out and understanding that culture isn’t something we inherit. It’s something we create.

    Session outcomes:

    • Recognise your personal role in shaping culture

    • Translate leadership concepts into real-world behaviours

    • Strengthen accountability and self-leadership

    • Build confidence to lead change from any position

  • 12:00 PM – Lunch Break

    A chance to rest, reflect, and build networks and deep connections with fellow attendees.

  • 12:45 PM – The Client Panel: Back Yourself and Take Your Spot in the World.

    This powerful live panel brings together several past clients who have transformed their lives, teams, and careers through this work.

    You will hear stories of leaders who reignited team performance, founders who finally launched the business they had been delaying, professionals who made bold career moves, and individuals who reconnected with their sense of agency and confidence.

    The panel includes rich conversation, practical insight, and audience Q&A, with live coaching and mentoring moments guided by Winitha Bonney OAM.

  • 1:15 PM - Session 2: The Courage to Begin - Breaking Through Inertia

    This keynote speaks directly to those who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or hesitant to take the next step. Winitha explores the psychology of inertia: why we delay, overthink, or stay comfortable and how courage is often less about confidence and more about movement.

    With warmth and clarity, Winitha equips participants to stop waiting for the “right time” and start acting from where they are. This session is about momentum, not perfection.

    Session outcomes:

    • Understand why inertia keeps capable people stuck

    • Learn how to build courage through small, intentional action

    • Shift from hesitation to forward movement

    • Reignite motivation and personal agency

  • 1:45 PM – Integration Workshop 2: Show Up - How to Grow and Perform Without Burning Out

    Growth shouldn’t come at the cost of wellbeing. In this practical workshop, Winitha helps participants redefine high performance in a sustainable way. Drawing on leadership psychology and coaching frameworks, she shows how to grow, lead, and deliver results without chronic stress or exhaustion.

    This session is especially valuable for leaders, business owners, and professionals navigating high expectations. Winitha provides tools participants can apply immediately to protect energy while still performing at their best.

    Session outcomes:

    • Identify habits that lead to burnout and disengagement

    • Learn sustainable strategies for growth and performance

    • Build boundaries that support long-term success

    • Develop a healthier relationship with ambition and achievement

  • 2:45 PM - Afternoon Break

  • 3:00 PM - Your 90-Day Action Plan and Accountability Support Network + Your Next Steps

    This is where insight becomes commitment. Winitha guides participants in creating a clear, personalised 90-day action plan aligned with their goals, leadership growth, and capacity. She also introduces accountability structures to help maintain momentum beyond the event.

    Winitha shares how her work extends beyond the room: through global keynote speaking, leadership programs, workshops, and both organisational and individual coaching. Participants gain clarity on the pathways available to continue their development with support.

    Session outcomes:

    • Create a focused 90-day action plan

    • Identify clear next steps and priorities

    • Understand available leadership programs and coaching options

    • Build accountability to sustain growth and progress

  • 3:45 PM – Closing Reflections

    Winitha closes the experience with a grounding and energising moment. This is where your commitments are sealed, the room’s collective energy is anchored, and your next steps become real.

  • 4:00PM - Networking

    The day concludes with relaxed, purposeful networking. Participants connect with peers, collaborators, and leaders who share a commitment to growth and impact, extending the value of the day well beyond the final session.
