Ways to take the stage
Four ways to speak in 2027.
Tell us which format fits you best in your application. If we see you somewhere else in the programme, we'll say so on your call.
Main stage
Emerging thought leader
A focused talk built around one powerful idea. In 2026, seven emerging leaders took our stage for the first time. This is where next year's names are made.
Best for founders with a distinct point of view who are ready to step up.
Conversation
Expert panel
Curated panels on the conversations founders need to hear, including the UK's first men's mental health panel at a business retreat.
Best for experts with lived experience and a strong opinion on a single topic.
Small group
Hands-on workshop
Founders build real assets with you: their story, positioning, AI system or sales process. Implementation, not inspiration.
Best for practitioners with a proven method they can teach in the room.
Day one · Soul
Identity, somatics and the mindset of wealth: nervous system, identity work, breathwork, energy and resilience.
Day two · Strategy
Story, sales and building your platform: speak to sell, high-ticket positioning, AI for founders, visibility, events and scaling.
Who we're looking for
We curate a room. Every voice is chosen.
Soul Speaks treats the nervous system, identity, story and sales strategy as one connected system. Our speakers bring both the depth and the practical takeaways.
You'll be a strong fit if…
- You have a story or method that has changed how founders build, sell or lead
- You can give the room something they can use, not just something to feel
- Your values match a conscious, heart-led founder community of women and men
- You'll show up for the whole experience and connect with attendees
- You'll share the event with your own audience and help fill the room
It isn't the right stage if…
- Your talk is a sales pitch with a keynote wrapper
- You want a generic script rather than your authentic voice
- You're looking for a speak-and-leave booking
- Your message relies on hustle and volume alone
From the room to the stage
What happens when you speak here.
I've attended both Soul Speaks. It gave me the clarity to want to speak. Having always been afraid of public speaking, I left and decided to speak in front of 300 people, and I signed my highest-paying client after a dry spell. I came back this year as a speaker.Chloe Myers · Attendee 2024, Speaker 2025

Plus, in her words, the intangibles: visibility and partnerships. She still uses her Soul Speaks images and videos today.
Taylor's return measured three months after the event.

Your questions, answered.
When and where is Soul Speaks 2027?
Soul Speaks Live 2027 takes place in London in October 2027. Exact dates and venue are shared with confirmed speakers first, then announced publicly.
Is speaking paid?
Some places are part of our partnership packages, which combine a speaking slot with exhibition space and brand visibility across our channels. Others are invited places. We'll be transparent about what applies to you on your speaker call.
Who is in the audience?
Conscious founders and heart-led leaders, women and men, most generating £50k to £500k+ a year. Coaches, consultants, therapists, healers, service and product businesses, and online founders, both B2B and B2C.
Can I sell from the stage?
Our audience comes ready to invest, and speakers can share how to work with them. What we won't programme is a pitch dressed as a talk. Lead with value and the room will follow.
I've never spoken at an event this size. Should I still apply?
Yes. Our emerging thought leader and panel formats exist for exactly this. Several of our past speakers first came as attendees.
When will I hear back?
We review on a rolling basis and reply to every applicant. Shortlisted speakers are invited to a call, and the lineup is announced in waves.
A note from Laura
Brilliant people deserve to be seen, heard and paid.
I built Soul Speaks after twenty years of watching brilliant founders sit on expertise and stories the world never got to see. If you've felt the pull to share yours from a stage, this is your invitation. Apply, and let's see where your voice fits in 2027.
