The Closing Plenary at EDGE 2026 in Sydney brought together creativity, resilience and leadership in a powerful finale that challenged attendees to rethink what leadership demands in a time of rapid change. Blending artistic expression with personal reflection, the session explored how beauty, courage and discomfort can become catalysts for growth rather than barriers to progress.
From reframing fear as propulsion to embracing failure as a pathway to innovation, the plenary emphasized that the future will not be shaped by certainty, but by leaders willing to move forward with integrity and heart. The message was clear: meaningful change begins when individuals choose to act, support one another, and step into discomfort with purpose.
