SHIFT25 is about saying goodbye to corporate cliches and bringing together the real, raw, and dynamic voices shaping the future of leadership, wellness, business, and culture. As we gear up for a day packed with insight and bold ideas, here’s a look at the SHIFT disturbers who’ll be taking the stage.

 

 

Nicholas Reichenbach, founder of Flow Water, will explore how reinvention isn’t just a survival tactic but a growth strategy in his talk “Flow: Pivot or Die.” he’ll explore. He will be digging into what it takes to adapt and grow in a changing world, especially when standing still isn’t an option.

 

 

Marc Champagne brings a powerful perspective on mental performance, drawn from years of research and work with global brands. With a focus on clarity, resilience, and high-stakes decision-making, he offers practical tools to help leaders clear mental clutter and unlock peak potential.

 

Julie Cryns shares a personal and empowering approach to building a purpose-led business. As a grief specialist and end-of-life doula, her insights go beyond entrepreneurship. She touches on values, boundaries, and the courage to carve out a meaningful space.

 

Executive coach Crystal Moss challenges us to get over ourselves (in the best possible way!) With equal parts honesty and humour, she reframes the internal narratives that hold us back and reveals the strength in letting go of what we can’t control.

 

We shift gears with Myles Doak, an entrepreneur and pitch-master who reminds us that great ideas don’t sell themselves – great stories do. His session unpacks how to pitch anything with confidence, whether you’re on a stage or selling a side hustle.

 

From internal clarity to external storytelling, Nicole Fernandes shifts the lens to culture. As the founder of Beyond Culture, she dives into how companies can align their internal values with their employer brand and why authentic storytelling is the future of leadership.

 

 

Giancarlo Trimarchi, second-generation owner of Vince’s Market and community leader, speaks to the challenge of evolving a legacy without losing its roots. His experience running Vince’s Market shows how values-driven leadership can drive both loyalty and innovation.

 

Martha Jez brings humour and heart to the stage, sharing what it means to grow a business while raising a family and navigating the chaos of modern life. Her story is a reminder that success doesn’t have to look polished, it just has to be authentically yours
