Your Topic:

It’s Never Too Late to Start Again

What happens when life doesn’t go according to plan? Do you give up, or do you find the courage to begin again?

In this honest, sometimes funny and deeply personal talk, Connie Paglianiti shares her extraordinary journey through success, gambling addiction, prison and rebuilding her life.

She challenges the belief that age, past mistakes or circumstances determine our future. Through her own experiences, Connie reminds us that we cannot change yesterday, but we can choose what happens next.

Whether you’re facing change, feeling stuck or wondering if you’ve missed your chance, this talk is a reminder that it’s never too late.

Your Speaker:

Connie Paglianiti

Connie Paglianiti is a TEDx speaker, bestselling author, event management professional and passionate advocate for second chances.

After more than 40 years in the events industry, her life took an unexpected turn through gambling addiction and imprisonment. Rather than allowing her past to define her future, Connie rebuilt her life and found a new purpose in helping others recognise that their story isn’t over.

Through her memoir, From the Shadows into the Light, and her speaking, Connie shares powerful messages about resilience, reinvention and the courage to start again, regardless of age or circumstances.
