In 2020, as an executive HR leader, the devastating Covid-19 pandemic and Black Lives Matter movement had a significant effect on my mental health, physical well-being and social engagement that completely redirected the trajectory of my future. The growing demands of an unprecedented time and changing workforce began to hinder my mental health. Feeling trapped in a vicious cycle of being overworked, anxious, and stressed…burnout was inevitable. It reflected in my work, attitude, marriage, and overall family life. I felt helpless, but knew I was not alone. To my knowledge, there was no roadmap available to help navigate these emotions and make meaningful steps to improve my health and regain quality of life. Too afraid to say anything for fear of judgement, I lived with critical burnout in silence for 3 years. Truth be told, I didn’t even recognize myself. So, in 2023, when my corporate role was eliminated, it was bittersweet. Over time, I began to accept this defining moment as a precious gift from the universe. I knew my calling was to inspire real change for leadership culture all over the world. Embracing my entrepreneurial spirit, I founded Culture Bonds, LLC consulting small to medium sized organizations to build healthy team cultures that can scale and thrive from the inside out. Foundationally, I believe that extraordinary leaders are fostered and grown from within the organization. In her experience, great leaders can become ineffective in a toxic work culture and bad leaders are tolerated at a cost. Therefore, turnover, burnout and performance challenges are the symptoms to a deeper-rooted disorder of an unstable culture. From this work, my second venture emerged: TSB Speaks, LLC - a platform dedicated to empowering and elevating women leaders through keynote speaking and leadership coaching. I stepped into speaking because I understood something essential: women are leading at unprecedented levels, but many are doing so while exhausted, undervalued, and unsupported. Through my voice, experience and lived truth I hope to help change that for other women. Today, I deliver keynotes and coach with one core mission: to help female leaders break through burnout and regain personal power by designing a life centered on well-being, evolving purpose, and revitalized leadership legacy. I believe that when a woman is restored, her impact transforms not only her team or organization—but generations. In addition to consulting and speaking, it is my pleasure to serve on the advisory board of Hypno Loops, the first meditation app that allows users to record, personalize, and share meditations paired with high-definition soundscapes. My continued dedication to human-centered leadership, mental well-being, and personal empowerment reflects my unwavering belief: when women rise in their full power, the future of leadership rises with them.

Life doesn’t always follow a plan. Sometimes it changes direction without warning — and that’s exactly the territory Patti Bevilacqua speaks into with honesty, humor, and practical insight. Patti knows this work from the inside out. A diagnosis of multiple sclerosis shifted her world and required a rethinking of identity, pace, and what it means to find footing when the ground moves beneath you. Rather than offering quick fixes, her presentations create space for real reflection and grounded action. Audiences are invited to slow down, reconnect with themselves, and navigate change in a way that feels human and sustainable. Patti’s voice is clear and compassionate, punctuated with story and straight talk. She meets audiences where they are and helps them think differently about pressure, possibility, and purpose — even when life feels uncertain.

I am a keynote speaker, moderator, certified life coach, and yoga teacher with a professional background in law and auditing in the banking sector. My first steps on stage came through a small theatre background earlier in life, which helped me develop confidence and ease in front of an audience. During my work in the banking sector, I have led various workshops, seminars, presentations and internal trainings, and I have moderated conferences and panel discussions. These experiences strengthened my ability to present complex topics clearly and to guide conversations with structure and focus. I have recently completed a professional speaker training to further refine my skills. Today, I combine the analytical mindset of a lawyer with the practical tools of coaching and yoga. My speaking and moderation work focuses on stress management, mental clarity, establishing helpful routines and sustainable balance—topics that support individuals and teams in navigating demanding environments with more intention and resilience.

Dr Sheila Pryce Brooks is a researcher, author, and speaker whose work sits at the intersection of sociology, consciousness studies, and anomalous experience. She completed her PhD at the University of York, where her autoethnographic research examined sleep paralysis as a meaning-rich, transformative phenomenon rather than a purely clinical disorder. She is the originator of the Threshold Contact Experience (TCE) framework, a model that reframes certain sleep-wake boundary experiences as patterned, relational states of consciousness. Drawing on three decades of lived experience and over 200 international testimonies, her work identifies recurring perceptual, symbolic, and relational features that invite new methodological approaches within psychical research and consciousness studies. Dr Pryce Brooks has presented at conferences including the Society for Psychical Research and the Science of Consciousness Conference, and is increasingly invited to speak within academic, clinical, and interdisciplinary settings. Her work challenges pathologising interpretations of anomalous experience while maintaining methodological rigour and ethical restraint.

Asya Dimitrova is a neuroscience researcher, SEN specialist, and course designer whose work sits at the intersection of the latest science on the autonomic nervous system and the lived reality of neurodivergent people trying to make sense of their own minds.

Sonja Reneé is a dynamic Speaker and Author dedicated to helping others transform their lives from the inside out. She sheds light on abandonment trauma—how these hidden wounds silently keep us attached to toxic people, unhealthy relationships, and harmful environments. Through her work, Sonja has discovered that nearly 90–95% of the people she encounters are living with unhealed abandonment wounds without even realizing it. These wounds deeply affect relationships with partners, children, coworkers, siblings, and spouses. At 49 years old, Sonja discovered that she was adopted—an unexpected revelation that sent her on a powerful journey of truth, healing, and self-discovery. As she began unpacking her past and examining her relationships, both old and new, she realized how deeply abandonment trauma had shaped her life. That breakthrough empowered her to begin the healing process, reclaim her power, and rebuild her sense of identity and worth. Now, Sonja speaks to audiences to raise awareness, share her journey, and teach others how to identify these wounds, confront them, and heal. In her book, “Abandonment Is Not Your Fault,” she courageously shares her personal experiences, the painful patterns she recognized, and the powerful process she used to break free from bondage, false narratives, unhealthy attachments, powerlessness, and generational trauma. In her new book, "Keys to Freedom," Sonja breaks down the specific emotional wounds that attract one another and the character traits that bind them together. She explains how trauma attracts trauma—meaning the unhealed wound in one person often forms an unhealthy attachment to the wounds in someone else. These connections may feel familiar or comforting at first, but ultimately they feed off each other in ways that can become harmful, dangerous, and emotionally destructive. Her book is bold, transparent, emotionally raw, and deeply transformative. Sonja took her life back—and now she is on a mission to help others do the same.
