Rom sits down for this must-listen episode with the brilliant Evelyne Brink. A performer, coach, author and all-round spark of energy to explore what confidence, inclusion and genuine human connection really look like today.

Her background is truly different from most coaches. She is one of Europe’s top Madonna impersonators and is now a sought-after leadership coach. Evelyne does not hold back talking about relationships, being a mum of children with medical challenges, being your “extra” self, and why creating spaces where people feel seen is the foundation of real leadership.

And in a world increasingly influenced by AI, Evelyne reminds us why nothing can replace the heartbeat of human connection.

Whether you’re rooted in the drinks world or simply passionate about helping people thrive, this conversation is a vibrant toast to courage, community, and choosing to show up as who you really are.

Here’s what you’ll take away:

• Confidence vs performance, of course they’re linked, but how to extract them?

• Evelyn’s journey from Madonna impersonator to leadership coach

• How societal expectations influence how we grow and who we become

• The importance of finding your tribe and building supportive networks

• Leadership is about moving people, not managing them
