Have you listened to the latest podcast episode from Gold Coast Speakers: In Conversation?

What if I told you that the secret to overcoming loneliness is simply reconnecting with yourself and nature?

Tag someone who needs to hear this!

In a world where we’re more connected digitally than ever, we’re actually drifting apart. Mark Butler and Nicole Evans explore while technology keeps us in touch, it’s the face-to-face interactions that truly nourish our souls.

They have both seen firsthand how this loneliness epidemic affects young people, especially in universities. Students often choose the comfort of their screens over real connections, missing out on the friendships and experiences that shape their lives.

But here’s the good news: connection is a skill you can practice! It starts with self-love and extends to nurturing your relationships with others and the world around you.

So, take a moment today to step outside, breathe in the fresh air, and appreciate the beauty of nature. Get moving, and if you can, bring a friend along!

Remember, a little kindness towards yourself can go a long way. What’s your favourite way to reconnect?

SPEAKER SPOTLIGHT: Leanne Deane

We’re pleased to welcome Leanne Deane to the Gold Coast Speakers Directory.

Leanne is a Gold Coast-based speaker, content creator and small business owner whose career brings together three very different worlds: beauty, business and footy.

With 26 years of industry experience and almost two decades as a business owner, Leanne has built her career around connecting with people. But a lifelong passion for AFL — and a decision to start sharing her voice on social media — opened the door to an entirely new chapter.

What started as simply talking footy online has grown into opportunities across content creation, podcasting, radio and media, proving that the career you’re meant for isn’t necessarily the one you started in.

Known for her bubbly personality, confidence and ability to genuinely connect with people, Leanne brings warmth, energy and authenticity whether she’s behind the camera, on the microphone or speaking to a room.

Her speaking areas include:
- Sport and AFL
- Business
- Beauty therapy
- Women in sports media
- Mental health and resilience
- Crowd engagement
- Storytelling

Leanne is currently expanding further into MCing, hosting, sports media, event activations and professional speaking.

👉 Event organisers looking for an energetic MC, host, sports media personality or engaging speaker who isn’t afraid to step outside the box will find Leanne a vibrant addition to their event.

SPEAKER POST: Ruth Kent

We’re pleased to welcome Ruth Kent to the Gold Coast Speakers Directory.

Ruth is a wellbeing speaker, professional health coach and founder of Sunrise Well, bringing more than 25 years of experience in education and training alongside qualifications in public health, psychology, biomedical meditation therapy and coaching.

Her work has a deeply personal foundation.

In 2013, Ruth found herself giving CPR to a stranger in the street. That experience brought her face-to-face with mortality and the consequences of continually pushing health and wellbeing down the to-do list. It ultimately helped shape her mission: helping people live with greater purpose, energy and wellbeing.

Ruth first learned to meditate at just 15 years old and has spent decades exploring the mind, human behaviour and evidence-based approaches to wellbeing.

Today, she works with leaders and teams to build the skills and habits that support sustainable performance, prevent burnout and help people flourish. Her approach combines research with practical strategies across mindfulness, stress management, sleep, self-care, self-compassion and emotional intelligence.

Ruth delivers keynotes, workshops and training for events, conferences, summits, leaders and teams, helping organisations strengthen their people and create workplaces where wellbeing supports performance rather than competes with it.

👉 Event organisers looking for a speaker who combines evidence-based wellbeing expertise, decades of experience and a genuinely human approach will find Ruth a fantastic addition to their event.

SPEAKER POST: Nicole Evans

What would the people closest to you say it feels like to be loved by you?

It’s a question I come back to often. Because love isn’t just what we feel— it’s what others experience in us. In our presence. In our attention. In the way we show up. And maybe the real invitation is this: To love a little more intentionally… starting today.
