Keynote Topics

You might be familiar with Australia-born fashion journalist Laura Brown and her “Ladies First” podcast where she picks the brains of legendary ladies like Brooke Shields, Tarana Burke, Jen Aniston, Salma Hayek and many more. The common denominator, however, is not just celebs for celebs sake.

It’s that they’re trailblazers who were the first to accomplish something in their field—and the ones who have something to say about it. The crux of each episode comes with Laura’s prompt for her guest to recall the first time they “owned their shit”. (We strongly recommend the episode with Jen Aniston!).  

You could sit around talking about women empowerment, “leaning in” and complaining about the patriarchy, but Laura would prefer to take another approach:  Stand taller, square your shoulders and set your boundaries. You’ll never forget that first time you really, truly “Owned your shit”.

In this topic, Laura dives deep into how women can stand up for themselves, find self-worth, and launch themselves ahead. A self-proclaimed “self-propelled little engine”, Laura shows audiences the importance of celebrating both your smallest victories and your biggest losses (and limitations), because—no matter where you’re from or who you know—there is no such thing as perfection and being your authentic self is truly how you own your shit.
