A LIFE WORTH DYING FOR
How to Live a Selfish Life of Meaning
Most people wait for a wake-up call – a health scare, a loss, or a life-altering event –before they start really living. But what if you didn’t wait?
In this session, Laura Beauparlant will challenge everything you’ve been taught about selfishness and show you why living with intention and prioritizing your deepest desires isn’t just essential…it’s the key to a meaningful life and legacy.
Through powerful storytelling and thought-provoking questions, you’ll learn how to step out of comfort, make bold choices, and intentionally design a life and business that are truly worth dying for. Every single day.
TELL BETTER STORIES
AI, Authenticity + The Future of Brand Storytelling
Many entrepreneurs unintentionally hold their brands back—oversharing in the name of vulnerability or undersharing for the sake of professionalism. But in today’s AI-driven world, choosing the right stories is more critical than ever. The right stories create authentic connections, build trust, and amplify your impact.
In this session, Laura Beauparlant will share her proven approach to strategic storytelling—blending the art of human connection with the science of AI. You’ll learn how to tell stories that truly resonate, use AI to enhance (not replace) your brand’s voice, and craft meaningful messages—faster and more effectively.
OWN YOUR BRAND
Define Your Brand Before Others Do
You already have a personal brand—whether you like it or not. Your reputation, expertise, and presence shape how the world sees you. And here’s the truth: you can’t build a legacy without a strong, intentional personal brand.
A powerful personal brand does more than get you noticed—it builds trust, opens doors, and amplifies your impact. It positions you as an authority, a thought leader, someone people listen to, follow, and seek out.
Join Laura Beauparlant, to learn why your personal brand matters and how to shape it—before others do it for you. This session will show you how to take control, own your story, and build a brand that stands the test of time.
EXIT-READY BRANDING
Sell for More + Own What’s Next
Your brand is one of the most valuable yet overlooked assets when selling a business. A well-positioned brand increases perceived value, attracts the right buyers, and makes the transition seamless—but only when it’s built with brand chemistry in mind.
In this session, you’ll learn why strategically evolving your brand is an essential step to creating chemistry with the right buyers and maximizing your business’s value. We’ll also explore why your personal brand isn’t just an afterthought—it’s a powerful tool for shaping your legacy and promoting the business you intend to sell.
By the end of this talk, you’ll have practical strategies to enhance your brand’s value, attract premium buyers, and confidently step into your next evolution.

“Laura's experience with Brand Chemistry coupled with the journey of her life meant she could speak to that full experience! Our audience was thoroughly engaged with Laura and each other! During and after the presentation, the room was buzzing with conversation as members applied the ideas from Laura and shared their thoughts with each other. ”
