About The Keynote

In today’s fast-changing world, one thing is clear: businesses don’t change—people do. As freelancers, every shift in mindset, habits, and approach directly impacts our business outcomes.

YESSS! is a powerful keynote that helps freelancers approach change confidently—whether scaling your business, launching a new service, or simplifying your workflow.

Blending behavioural science, creative thinking, and humour, Cyriel Kortleven shows how to:

Shift mindset to sustain action, not stress
Turn goals into small daily behaviours that move the needle
Build energy and ownership to make change empowering

Interactive and down-to-earth, the session is packed with practical tools, vivid examples, and fresh perspectives to help freelancers navigate uncertainty and turn ambition into results.
