Speaking is a Sacred Art

Hi, I’m Lauri

Years ago, even though I was on stage all the time as an actor, I secretly had a love–hate relationship with being seen.

One exercise in an acting class cracked my protective shell wide open.
The entire group was focused on me, throwing improv after improv my way. I kept trying to pull myself together between scenes when my teacher said,
“Don’t. Just be where you are. Let everything—tears included—flow.”

“I’m not that comfortable having everyone’s eyes on me,” I blurted.
He smiled. “You’ve chosen a strange set of careers for yourself, then. Part of you wants this.”

Part of me did. Part of me knew I was meant to be seen.

By the end of that exercise, my layers of protection had melted away.
I looked around the room and felt completely in tune with everyone there—seeing through their layers of protection to their hearts and souls.
It was a moment of oneness.

That moment became a doorway.
I crossed a threshold back into everything I’d been told I couldn’t or shouldn’t be my entire life:
Wild. Emotional. Raw. Intuitive. Untamed. Radiant.

I let go of who the world told me to be and remembered who I actually am.

On the other side, I found the primal life force that lives in all of us that makes us alive from head to toe.
When that primal force meets our purpose, we become magnetic. Radiant. Unstoppable.

The Magic of Collaboration

In theater & film, there are 3 vital roles.
As a Speaker, you juggle them all—alone.

the Writer

You channel the message. Write your own script. Give voice to what’s rising from within.
You create the story that wants to be told.

the Performer

You step into the spotlight and breathe life into the story—fully alive, from head to toe.
You are the vessel through which magic flows.

the Director

As the outside eye, you weave everything together. You hold the audience and guide the journey. You shape the story to land. To stir. To move.

To elevate your speaking to an art form, you must move gracefully between all three.

I walk beside you as your writing midwife, performance coach, and soul-aligned director.
So your message doesn’t just inform—
It awakens. It liberates. It transforms.

You can’t learn to throw a football from reading a book . . . 

. . . and you can’t get ready to transform a crowd by staring at your slides from the safety of your office chair.

Great theatre is created in ensemble—actors first rehearse with a scene partner, then perform for a preview audience before opening night.

For speakers, the crowd is both your scene partner and your audience. That’s why practicing in a sacred circle of kindred souls is vital.

Wild-hearted leaders come alive when they practice in that kind of supportive space.

      My Promise to You

      I will … 

      • Be your ally and your mirror—reflecting back both your brilliance and your blind spots.
      • Speak the truth with fierce love and deep respect—even when it stretches you.

      Lauri called me out to be me, without the armour that I use to hide. It was less about what others are thinking of me and more about “This is me. This is my message” and standing powerfully in it. Lauri showed me how to hold the room with my voice. I was in complete alignment with my message.
