KEYNOTE
A LIFE WORTH DYING FOR
Stop waiting for someday.
Most people wait for a wake-up call before they start really living. A health scare. A loss. A moment that forces the question they've been avoiding: What am I actually trading my days for?
But what if you didn't wait?
In this session, Laura Beauparlant exposes the Responsible Life Myth. The inherited defaults, the ‘shoulds’, and traditions that have you building a life everyone else approves of and you can barely recognize as yours.
Drawing on twenty years as a brand strategist, a near-fatal accident at eighteen, and the path she's been walking ever since, Laura redefines selfish – not as the bad word you've been trained to flinch from, but as the act of refusing to abandon yourself any longer.
This isn't a talk about quitting your job or burning your life down. It's about choosing the life you have, on purpose.
Available in 30- and 60-minute formats, customized to your audience and event.
Perfect for:
Entrepreneur and CEO communities
Corporate events and company retreats
Leadership teams and offsites
College and university audiences
What your audience will walk away with:
✓ A new definition of selfish – as an act of self-love, not a moral failing
✓ Greater awareness of the trade-offs – what they’re giving their days to and where they may want to choose differently
✓ A challenge to the Responsible Life Myth – and the expectations, shoulds and definitions of success that come with it
✓ An honest look at someday – what they’ve been deferring and what they may no longer want to wait for
We've been trained to put ourselves last and call it responsible. I’ve built my life (and my work) on proving that wrong.
