Speaking Engagements

 

Are you interested in having Laurie speak at your event?  Here are some of the talks she can give:

Making Decisions Under Uncertainty

Learn a practical, repeatable system for making clear, confident decisions when outcomes aren’t obvious. This talk teaches how to map assumptions, define constraints, run smart micro-experiments, and move forward with clarity instead of hesitation.

Adventure: Why Novelty and Discomfort Make You Better

Discover how stepping into controlled discomfort and new experiences sharpens judgment, builds courage, and expands intuition. This talk shows how micro-adventures can unlock resilience, clarity, and better leadership—without needing big, dramatic leaps.

How to See What Everyone Else Misses

A masterclass in problem discovery. Learn how to spot hidden needs, behavior gaps, friction points, and emerging patterns long before others notice them. This talk gives you a new lens for understanding people and identifying meaningful opportunities.

Designing What People Actually Want

Most solutions fail because they’re built on assumptions instead of real needs. This talk teaches how to uncover motivations, emotional drivers, and true demand—so you can create products, ideas, pitches, and initiatives that genuinely resonate.

Why Most Good Ideas Fail — and How to Recognize Ones Worth Pursuing

A clear, honest framework for separating promising ideas from seductive dead ends. You’ll learn the real reasons ideas fall apart—and the specific signals that reveal when something is truly worth your time, money, or energy.

Designing a Meaningful Career in an AI World

As technology reshapes work, many people are rethinking who they are and what they want next. This talk guides you through mapping your strengths, exploring new opportunity paths, and designing a career chapter that aligns with meaning, identity, and the future of work.
