Dr Emily Prpa

award-winning nutritionist, TEDx speaker, and one of the UK’s leading science communicators in nutrition and health

With a PhD in Nutritional Sciences and a background that focuses on the therapeutic power of the gut microbiome’s influence on our overall wellbeing, Emily’s session unpacked how nourishing ourselves goes far beyond what’s on our plate. 
 
Drawing on cutting-edge science and her experience as a lecturer, advisor, and trusted voice in the media, Emily shared how gut health impacts our mood, energy, and resilience, the science behind everyday wellbeing and why nourishment is key to unlocking our full potential.
 
Emily’s passion and energy sparked the perfect start to the morning making complex science into easy, actionable habits, from building a “rainforest” microbiome to hitting 30g of fibre a day, leaving us inspired to rethink how we nourish ourselves.

Chance Marshall

creator of ‘Self-Space’, creative psychotherapist, and author of How To Grow Through What You Go Through 

With his warmth, humour, and honesty, Chance explored what it means to grow through the messiness of modern life. Drawing on his own experiences and thousands of therapy sessions with brave, brilliant people, he reflected on how we grow through grief, change, and uncertainty; what it means to live a fulfilled life (not just a full one); and the power of staying close to the people, places, and things that matter most.
 
He reminded us that growth isn’t about having it all figured out it’s about creating space for honesty, connection, and real conversations.

Max Dubiel

Co-founder of
Redemption Roasters

The UK's prison system is facing an unprecedented crisis this year, with facilities across England and Wales nearing full capacity, creating critical issues for both prison residents and the country.

At our first Impact Series breakfast talk, Max shared his story of how he co-founded Redemption Roasters and how the organisation is now playing a role in combating the prison crisis. They reduce reoffending rates by providing training both inside and outside of prison, as well as offering employment to prison leavers at their London coffee shops.

Max’s inspirational story left us reflecting on how we can contribute to sustainable employment and help improve our communities.

  • "Attending this event was a revelation! The discussion on the often overlooked yet critical aspect of security in architectural design. The event revealed a dimension rarely explored."

  • "I wanted to say thank you for organising this series. It is always an insightful and enjoyable morning, and it has opened my eyes to new topics and points of conversation that are ever helpful when networking with peers and clients alike."

  • "I am most fortunate to be on the network invitation list. I’ve been to a handful of your events now, all in spectacular venues with equally spectacular female speakers. Thought provoking topics to ponder over a delicious, healthy breakfast and freshly brewed coffee. All providing a great backdrop for likeminded construction and property professionals to learn, network and share knowledge and ideas."

  • "I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all of the breakfasts I have been too, they always have great speakers, that often start important conversations. I’ve also felt it to be a really comfortable and kind space to introduce my nextgen colleagues to networking."
