Laura Myers is a former 25 year teacher and principal who decided to take back her professional career and find success in the business world she has always been fascinated by, but convinced wasn’t for her… typically because she is a woman! She retired from education and all that she spent 3 degrees learning; to take on her toughest boss yet, herself!
Less than two years after the transition, she is running not one, but two businesses: a branding agency (the creative genius of her husband) and travel consultancy in addition to writing a book. She still may not be getting 8 hours of sleep, but spending a lot more time with her family and finding meaning in her work.
Speaking Topics
What’s that saying? Jack of all trades, master of none? While I no longer offer teacher workshops in engagement & discipline strategies, I still work with educators in addition to corporate audiences, entrepreneurs, business leaders and especially women! I focus on 3 areas of expertise for my keynote speaking, workshop facilitation and podcast work.
Typically 60 or 90 minutes in length, my signature speech titled “Trauma to Transformation: how to use the strength and skills that are already inside you to propel yourself to the next level.”
Can be adapted from 90 minutes to 3 hours to fit the needs of the conference or professional development. The longer the workshop, the more hands-on activities and exercises the audience will participate in directly.
This is the platform I love to talk about travel on, but am happy to share tips for identifying characteristics and skills to develop in a person both professionally and personally. I also enjoy talking about the hybrid topic of business travel and how to blend business with personal travel.
“Wonderful speaker, keeps the audience engaged and shares relatable stories. Everyone in the audience walked out thinking about something new!”
– Shirley Lia, Administrator for the Adam’s County School District 14
