Confidence to Connect


Prioritising for Performance and Purpose in an AI World
Power of Partnerships
Most professionals know they should network. They know the rooms to be in, the people to meet, the follow-ups to send. But knowing and doing are two very different things — and the gap between them is rarely about skill.
In this high-impact keynote (also available as a workshop or fireside chat), Yvonne
explores what really stops people from connecting — and how to overcome it for good.
Blending real-life stories, research, and frameworks from her book Conditioning Kills Confidence, Yvonne introduces the Categories of Excuses, the SEE Method, and the Connection Equation — a practical toolkit that takes audiences from self-doubt to confident, purposeful connection.
This session goes beyond networking tips. It tackles the conditioning, fear and self-limiting beliefs that keep brilliant people playing small — and replaces them with the clarity, courage and capability to build a network that actually works.
Because your network is a reflection of your confidence. And confidence, it turns out, is something you can learn.
In an age where AI is transforming how we work, the real advantage lies in knowing what to focus on—and what to let go. In this energetic and empowering keynote, Yvonne Matzk reveals how to shift from reactive busyness to intentional, purpose-led performance.
With humour, clarity, and practical frameworks, Yvonne introduces her Performance & Purpose Matrix and the ASSIGN Delegation Model to help audiences take back control of their time, delegate with confidence, and focus on what truly drives results.
She challenges attendees to stop holding onto everything and start leading with impact—human-first and AI-smart.
Because the future of performance isn’t about doing more.
It’s about doing more of what matters.
