2023 Regional Conference

Keynote Speakers

Lauren Beane is a TEDx speaker and helps audiences take the leap and believe they are ready enough by offering tools, coaching, and her personal stories so they can embrace and own their unique talents. Too often, she would not take action on her goals unless she felt that she had all the answers. But in 2020, Lauren grew tired of waiting until she felt ready to pursue new opportunities. After taking a huge leap and launching the consulting business of her dreams, she is now on a mission to empower others to feel they are ready enough (even with only 50% of the answers) and live out the life they deserve.
