Fireside Chat with Briony McKenzie

The Speaker: Briony McKenzie

From a law firm cubicle to building a $5 million coaching business, Briony McKenzie is redefining what it means to create transformational impact. As a top-tier corporate lawyer in New Zealand, she was achieving professional success, yet she felt a deep pull toward something greater—something that would allow her to make a real difference in people’s lives. Suddenly, the thrill of closing transactions faded, and in its place grew a desire to help others unlock their full potential. Determined to reshape the narrative around personal growth and challenge Tall Poppy Syndrome, she left her corporate career behind to start Untapped.

Today, Untapped is one of New Zealand’s fastest-growing coaching companies, having generated over $5 million in online education revenue, earning recognition in Forbes, and securing more than $200,000 in funding for disadvantaged youth. With a book on holistic entrepreneurship in the works, Briony continues to blend business success with personal transformation—proving that impact and prosperity can go hand in hand.

Join us for an inspiring fireside chat as Briony shares how she traded a legal career for a life of purpose, empowerment, and limitless possibility.
