Her TEDx Talk on “Why the World Needs to Be Less Humble” exemplifies her ability to challenge societal norms and inspire audiences globally. Her talks have reached over 50 countries and she has delivered keynotes at prestigious events like Adweek Europe, the International Music Summit and the D&AD Festival. Stefanie Sword-Williams is hired as a leading keynote speaker because she combines personal experience, professional success and a genuine commitment to mental health and wellbeing. Her compelling storytelling, actionable insights and passionate advocacy make her an influential voice in addressing imposter syndrome and promoting mental health in the workplace.
“Having gained some fantastic insights from attending one of Stef’s other webinars, I invited her to BBC Creative for a departmental Q&A, discussing self-promotion, imposter syndrome and all things FBH. It was a really well attended talk and has been widely held up to be the most useful session we’ve had throughout lockdown. The session was hugely inspiring, honest and – as usual with Stef – tremendously galvanising, with loads of positive action points to take away. Stef’s a real dynamo, a cheerleader for confidence and advocate for owning and celebrating your successes. As one colleague put it, “Stef’s advice is golden”.”
