Select Testimonials
“Laura is a dynamic and powerful presence on and off the stage. She is a consummate REAL professional (on time, embodies her work, delivers, inspires, transforms). Laura has ‘staying power - stickiness'. I just read, yet another, testimonial from an attendee at our event which included approximately 2,000 women, and how it is changing her life. She had Robin Roberts commenting on air about her thought leadership without solicitation after she read her book on the flight home from our event. If you want to give your attendees the opportunity to experience someone who will get them to think about why they've been allowing other people to let them hold themselves back… HIRE LAURA NOW!!”
“Laura energized, inspired and empowered our community of women leaders in sports! Laura was dynamic and engaging - she connected with the audience through her humor, content and magnetic presence. Laura was the perfect combination of motivation and application - giving attendees a dose of inspiration along with action items to make immediate changes in their life. Attendees walked away feeling energized, inspired, and ready to kick glass and pursue their limitless potential in work and life.”
“Working with Laura and her team was awesome. I don't think I've ever worked with a speaker as organized and flexible as Laura. As far as her presentation, Laura spent the extra time to understand our audience and she incorporated those learnings into her presentation, which made a huge difference. She had our people on their feet with a standing ovation before she could even get her last words out! After her presentation, she spoke to attendees and took the time to make real connections with them. I would absolutely recommend Laura to anyone who is looking for a dynamic speaker who will invest in their audience and go beyond a "rinse and repeat" presentation. She is a class act."
“Laura Gassner Otting is an energizing and inspiring speaker. In a highly engaging session at GE Healthcare, she delivered simple, yet highly impactful life lessons to the employees. The audience walked away with tangible actions on how to live a limitless life. Her message resonated with all attendees! Whether they were early, mid or late career, Laura had a powerful message for all with authentic stories that illustrated her points. She took questions from the audience and provided a refreshing perspective leveraging her extensive research and diverse experiences. She is truly an inspirational speaker!”
“Laura lit up the room at my annual leadership retreat in Philadelphia. She made us think, write, learn, reflect and laugh. Laura is a powerful speaker who knows how to deliver a message with a punch but also connect to the room. Her words felt personal and chosen for us. She did not sound robotic or programmed. She sounded real. She sounded honest. She sounded convicted. Laura went above and beyond to get to know my leaders, even showing up early at our brunch to sign books and talk. Laura is an all-star, rockstar, one-of-kind author, speaker and motivator. She has walked the walk of business, life and the pursuit of happiness. She has failed, won, fallen and gotten back up. Her lessons will live with us for years to come.”
