From the audience
I’ve heard a lot of graduation keynotes in my 3 decade tenure. I consider Lauren’s to be one of the very best I’ve heard. It was heartfelt, genuine, motivational, and sincere.
About me
Meet Lauren
I’m a founder, keynote speaker, and lifelong performer working where regenerative systems meet modern leadership. For the past decade I’ve spoken and performed on stages from Google to C2 to Bioneers — for executives, ambassadors, mayors, and conscious-leadership communities — translating the logic of nature’s oldest technologies into a practical framework for leadership, change, and the decisions that shape what’s next. Based in the Bay Area, I speak and perform regularly at conferences, summits, and offsites around the world.
From keynotes at corporate summits to performances at community gatherings, everything I do is rooted in one belief:
Nothing is ever truly gone.
Everything becomes fuel for what’s next.
Featured talk
“Compost Everything.”
A keynote on finding clarity, agency, and what one of nature’s oldest technologies can teach us about building what’s next. Delivered as the 2025 commencement address at the University of Illinois.
