Demo reel

See Laurie
on stage.

Clinical depth, real laughs, and a room that leaves with something to use.

Keynotes, workshops and more

Serious science.
Seriously funny.

Laurie delivers keynotes and workshops, emcees, and joins panels. Each talk pairs with the Carnival, so the ideas from the stage become skills on the midway.

Hardwire Resilience

How to build emotional endurance: the capacity to stay steady when things get hard.

The Lemon in the Room: Creating Regulated Teams and Cultures

Why regulated teams are safer, stronger teams, and how leaders can build a culture that handles stress instead of avoiding it.

Anatomy of an Uncomfortable Conversation

What happens in the body when a conversation gets hard, and how to stay steady enough to have it well.

Don't just hear it. Feel it.

Everything Laurie teaches,
your people can practice.

Everything Laurie teaches from the stage, she built into the Emotional Endurance Carnival: 30+ interactive booths where your people practice real coping skills and keep the ones that fit. Bring in the Carnival on its own, or open it with a keynote from Laurie.
