Once you feel grounded and present, for this second talk with Ioana Jongsma we will dive into how you structure what you say, and how you can shape it.

In this lunch talk, Ioana Jongsma will guide you through the fundamentals of strong message structure and effective pitch formats. You’ll learn how to organise your ideas, sharpen your key message, and communicate with intention, so your words land clearly and stay with your audience.

This part is practical, hands-on, and immediately applicable, whether you’re preparing a pitch, a presentation, or an important conversation.

In this online lunch talk, we revisit the reflections and dialogues from The Belonging Lab, an intimate roundtable that took place at The Soulfuls Summit on November 14. You’re welcome whether you joined the workshop or not -  all you need is an interest in belonging, inclusion, and community.

The Belonging Lab at The Soulfuls Summit 2025 was a space to pause, connect, and share lived experiences. Together with Chisom Udeze and voices from The Soulfuls community, the conversation explored what it means to feel included  and what happens when we don’t.

Through dialogue and shared reflection, The Belonging Lab explored how to:

• Turn experiences of othering into connection and care

• Create spaces where more people feel seen and heard

• Strengthen community through trust, openness, and shared responsibility

Chisom will, in this lunch talk, guide us through a condensed version of the Belonging Lab and share the insights and reflections that emerged during The Soulfuls Summit 2025 Belonging Lab.

Speaking up is how we move forward - whether it’s on a big stage like TEDx, in a pitch, a networking meeting, or a one-to-one conversation. Yet, speaking in public can feel intimidating, even for experienced professionals. In this lunch talk, Ioana Jongsma will explore why fear often shows up, how it affects our communication, and practical strategies to overcome it. She will share techniques to stay grounded, speak with clarity, and connect authentically with your audience. Participants will leave with tools to handle nerves, structure their message effectively, and communicate confidently in any setting.

Join us for a reflective and empowering session with JaKenna Gilbert, founder of The Gilbert Collaborative. In this lunch talk, JaKenna will guide you through practical tools and approaches to start 2026 with clarity, intention, and purpose.

This talk is an invitation to start building bridges across teams, even if you’re not an engineer. Sandra will share what it looks like to be “technical enough” to work confidently across product, sales, and marketing. You can expect concrete examples, simple frameworks, and an honest look at why “every company does it differently.”

The beginning of a new year often comes with expectations — and the pressure to have everything figured out. In this online lunch talk, The Soulfuls’ founder Aram Ostadian-Binai invites the community to slow down and reflect on the narratives we step into the year with.

Because here’s the real question: How do you actually get started — and how do you know when you’re ready? And what if “ready” isn’t a feeling we wait for, but a choice we practice?

As part of our collaboration with Copenhagen Fashion Week, The Soulfuls is proud to co-host an intimate gallery and conversation space together with Nomathemba.

In collaboration with Kérastase, The Soulfuls will activate their signature mentoring format: Flash mentoring.
