What would change if you approached your work — and your life — with the mindset of a champion?

Three-time Olympian and gold medallist Kerri Pottharst closes the conference with a powerful, human story about courage, pressure and the moments where choosing to step forward changes everything. Drawing from her Olympic journey, Kerri explores how elite performers think differently about fear, failure and expectations — and how those same mental habits shape success far beyond sport.

This is not a talk about winning medals. It’s about how you show up when the stakes are high, the path isn’t clear, and comfort is tempting. Through storytelling, humour and her unforgettable Walk of Courage, Kerri invites the audience to reflect on the risks they avoid, the limits they accept, and what becomes possible when they stop playing it safe.

This closing keynote is designed to leave you energised, challenged and quietly asking yourself one important question: what would gold medal excellence look like in my own life?
