“From Comfort to Courage” delves into the challenging journey of building confidence, setting bold goals, and taking actionable steps to accelerate your career.

Chaired by Fay Sharpe, founder of the award-winning Fast Forward 15 mentorship programme, this panel features current mentees sharing stories of how they stepped beyond their comfort zones, seized new opportunities, and unlocked their career potential.

To add an interactive twist, the panel will host an exclusive "FF15 Therapy Session" – a unique space where audience members can ask advice about career hurdles, fears, and barriers, and gain practical insights on how to overcome them.

This empowering session is designed to help you find your own path from comfort to courage.
