Transform Your Event with Bianca Stawiarski
Creating Connection, Healing, and Authentic Leadership through Indigenous Wisdom
When conference attendees are struggling with disconnection, from themselves, their teams, Country and their purpose, they need more than another polished presentation. They need a speaker who can guide them back to their innate wisdom and authentic power.
Bianca Stawiarski doesn’t just speak to your audience, she creates a space where transformation happens.
Why Your Audience will Remember Bianca Long After Your Event Ends
She lights up the room and speaks WITH your audience, not AT them
“People feel heard and valued,” says one conference organiser. “It’s like sitting down with your friend having a yarn rather than listening to an ‘expert’ who you may feel is so far above where they are.”
Bianca brings the ancient practice of Indigenous pedagogy to modern speaking stages. Drawing from both her Badimia and Ukrainian heritage, cultures rich in circle, sitting, ceremony, and community connection, she transforms formal presentations into authentic exchanges of wisdom.
What makes this different?
- She engages with attendees before, during, and after her presentation
- She weaves previous speakers’ content into her message, creating cohesion
- She adapts her prepared content in real-time based on who’s in the room
- She speaks as an equal, never positioning herself above the audience
She removes the masks we all wear
Your attendees arrive carrying masks; masks of success, of having everything together, of needing to appear professional at all costs. Bianca’s authentic presence gives them permission to remove these masks in a safe space.
“For me, it’s important that I walk into a room completely authentic,” Bianca explains. “If I’m feeling nervous, I’ll say I’m feeling nervous. That’s how healing happens, in community, in connection with each other and with Country.”
The result? Audience members stop performing and start connecting, with themselves, with each other, and with the deeper wisdom they already possess.
