CAPTIVATING KEYNOTES

Two talks. One theme: legacy – the life you’re living and the chapter you’re building next.

KEYNOTE

A LIFE WORTH DYING FOR
How to Live a Selfish Life of Meaning

Most people wait for a wake-up call (a health scare, a loss, or a life-altering event) before they start really living. But what if you didn’t wait?

In this session, Laura Beauparlant will challenge everything you’ve been taught about selfishness and show you why living with intention and prioritizing your deepest desires isn’t just essential…it’s the key to a meaningful life and legacy.

Through powerful storytelling and thought-provoking questions, you’ll learn how to step out of comfort, make bold choices, and intentionally design a life that is truly worth dying for. Every single day.

Format can be tailored to your agenda.

Bring this keynote to your audience

Perfect for:

  • Entrepreneur and CEO groups

  • Colleges and universities

  • Corporate events and retreats

  • Leadership offsites

What your audience will walk away with:

  • A powerful reframe of “selfish” as the foundation for meaning, not something to feel guilty about

  • Clarity on what they want to be remembered for – and what needs to change to live that now

  • A practical decision filter for choosing courage over comfort

”I got up early specifically to hear Laura speak following her introduction the night before – and it was absolutely worth it!

She lit up the stage with a magnetic presence and left us with questions that still linger...in the best way.”

Jason Bender, Owner In Focus Advertising
(Member of YPO Pacific West)

KEYNOTE

EXIT-READY BRANDING
Sell for More + Own What’s Next

Your brand is one of the most valuable (yet often overlooked) assets when selling a business. A well-positioned brand increases perceived value, attracts premium buyers, and makes the transition smoother. But if the founder’s identity is too attached to the brand, it can actually hold the sale back.

In this session, you’ll learn why evolving your business brand and untangling your personal brand are critical steps to creating chemistry with the right buyers and maximizing your company’s value. We’ll explore how to build a brand that’s ready to sell – while also developing a personal legacy brand that positions you for what’s next.

By the end of this talk, you’ll walk away with practical strategies to increase brand equity, attract premium buyers, and confidently step into your next chapter…without losing yourself in the process.

Format can be tailored to your agenda.
