Hannah Waddingham's career is a masterclass in what happens when context compounds. From commanding West End stages to winning an Emmy for her portrayal of Rebecca Welton in Ted Lasso, Waddingham has built each chapter on every layer of experience before it — her theatrical training informing her dramatic range, her vocal power amplifying her screen presence, her comedic timing sharpening through decades of live performance.

It's the same principle at the heart of this year's conference: knowledge that sits still is just information, but context that connects and compounds becomes momentum. Rebecca Welton's arc in Ted Lasso mirrors what so many organizations are grappling with today — she begins operating in silos, guarding information, making decisions alone, and it's only when she opens up to her team, trusts the people around her, and lets shared context guide her that AFC Richmond transforms from a club on the brink to one that believes.

In this fireside chat, one of Europe's most versatile performers joins us to explore how curiosity, trust, and the courage to connect the dots across every dimension of your work — and your life — is what turns potential into progress.
