Open with a bang. Close on a high.
You've poured months into this event — don't let the keynote be the part they forget. Lizzie Williamson turns a tired, distracted room into an audience that's energised, connected and taking action. The session they rank the favourite of the day.
A conference lives or dies on its energy.
You know the danger zones. The post-lunch slump. The audience half-watching, half on their phones. The speaker who's all inspiration and no takeaway, gone from memory by the coffee break.
The keynote is the moment that sets the tone or flattens it. You need someone who lifts the whole room and leaves them with something real. And on the biggest moment of your event, you need a safe pair of hands.

what are you waiting for?
Stop waiting. Start now. Just two minutes.
Your audience already knows what to do. They're just waiting — for the perfect moment, more time, more energy, until they feel ready. And while they wait, nothing changes. In this high-energy, fully interactive keynote, Lizzie gets a room out of the waiting and into action with her Two Minute Method™.
-
Drawing on her years as a cruise-ship dancer — waiting in the wings on a pitching ship before stepping into the light, ready or not — Lizzie shows a room the truth she built her work on: you can't wait for the conditions to be perfect, or you'll never step onto your stage. Then she hands them the smallest possible way to start. Two minutes.
They won't just hear it — they'll feel their own state shift, live, in the room. They leave in motion, knowing the change they've been waiting for was only ever two minutes away.
-
→ The Two Minute Method™ — a simple, repeatable way to turn intention into action
→ A toolkit of two-minute moves to reset energy, mindset and state on demand
→ Their excuses busted — having had genuine moments of laughter, fun and connection
→ Practical actions they'll use the moment they're back at their desk
-
Your audience will be up out of their seats, laughing, connecting, and taking action in the room. They don't just hear the message. They experience it. And they leave already in action.
Perfect for opening & closing keynote or interactive workshop
The Energy Advantage
For audiences who still have to perform — even on the days they don't feel like it.
There are days when everything flows. And then there are the days when energy dips, confidence wobbles, and focus disappears — but you still have to show up and deliver.
When that happens, most of us get stuck — waiting to feel ready. This keynote is how you get unstuck on demand, not by luck.
-
At the heart of this session is a powerful idea:
Before every important moment… there’s a moment before it.
The backstage moment.
The moment where you don’t feel quite ready — but it matters anyway.
Drawing on her experience as a dancer performing on rocking cruise ships, Lizzie shows audiences how to take control of these moments and choose how they show up.
Because you don’t need everything to feel steady.
You need to know how to steady yourself.
-
Reset before high-pressure moments — in under 2 minutes
Shift from overwhelmed to focused, quickly
Let go of perfection and perform with what they have now
Stay energised across a long, demanding day
Build a personal toolkit they'll actually use
-
Simple, practical tools they can use immediately:
Two-minute energy resets
Backstage moment strategies
State-shifting techniques
Momentum-building habits
So they don’t just perform when it’s easy…
They perform when it matters.
Perfect for events where your audience is:
Navigating high-pressure periods or change · Dealing with burnout or decision fatigue · Needing to perform consistently regardless of circumstance · Leaders who need to model resilience for their teams
