Entrepreneur Laura Beddoe-Collins to host Soul Speaks Live, London, headlined by Roxie Nafousi

Roxie Nafousi, the three-times Sunday Times bestselling author of MANIFEST and MANIFEST Dive Deeper, will headline Soul Speaks Live 2026 in London this October - the event founded and hosted by entrepreneur Laura Beddoe-Collins.

Nafousi joins the two-day business conference, which is happening on 15 and 16 October at The Ecology Pavilion in London. The event is the brainchild of Laura Beddoe-Collins, a visibility and speak-to-sell coach with twenty years' experience in consultative sales. Now in its third year, Soul Speaks has sold out every year it has run and will welcome 200 founders and twelve speakers across two days.

Soul Speaks was built to help business owners turn their lived experience into their most powerful sales asset. Beddoe-Collins has personally guided more than 100 business owners, influencers and celebrities to craft signature talks that convert, and this year she takes the stage herself to deliver her own speak-to-sell framework.

"I built Soul Speaks after twenty years of watching brilliant people, men and women, sit on expertise, stories and ambition that the world never got to see," said Beddoe-Collins. "This is the only event in the UK that treats your nervous system, your identity, your story and your sales methodology as one connected system, because they are."

New Additions: Men's Mental Health and Conscious AI

2026 marks several firsts for the event. Soul Speaks opens fully to men and women for the first time, and the programme includes what organisers are billing as the UK's first men's mental health panel at a business retreat. The event also introduces a dedicated strand on AI for conscious founders, addressing how business owners can use AI to amplify their voice without losing authenticity.

The two-day format splits identity work from strategy. Day one focuses on somatic leadership, nervous system regulation and identity breakthrough work, including a breathwork and cacao ceremony and the new men's mental health panel. Day two moves into strategy, covering speak-to-sell technique, high-ticket positioning, AI for founders and a blueprint for building live events as a revenue vehicle.

Speaker Line-Up and Community Growth

Roxie Nafousi, whose MANIFEST books have sold more than one million copies worldwide and been translated into 37 languages across 122 countries, will deliver a live workshop on the framework that built her global following.

Alongside Nafousi, headline speakers for 2026 include Nick James, founder of Expert Empires, the UK's leading event for expert-based business owners, who shares how he has built four separate seven-figure businesses, Amy Atkinson, founder of The Social Sales CEO, Sharn Khaira, founder of the Asian Female Entrepreneur Collective, and wellness entrepreneur Katie Brindle, founder of The Hayo'u Method.

Soul Speaks has grown 122 per cent year on year and has built a community of more than 18,000 members.
