Laura Gassner Otting

"Laura is an energetic and inspirational speaker on the topic of defying limitations and creating your own narrative. Her webinar with Ellevate network offered powerful advice on shaping our definitions of success, investing in our passions, and redefining our personal and professional values. In her words, 'We can’t be insatiably hungry for someone else’s goals.' Laura is a talented speaker and author, and we were fortunate to have her share her wisdom with our network."

"My experience with Laura from start to finish was superb! With this being the first virtual conference we hosted, Laura was able to provide her expertise on what she felt would work best and keep our attendees engaged! Her presentation was top notch and our attendees left ready to be limitless leaders!"

"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 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."

"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."

"We had the pleasure of having Laura speak at our Nonprofit Symposium in Los Angeles and San Francisco. Leading up to the event, she and her team were easy to work with. This eliminated a lot of stress that goes into planning a conference. Laura brings years of experience, insight, and enthusiasm to her presentations. I would definitely recommend booking Laura if you’re looking for someone who is intelligent, fun to work with, dependable, and an all-around great presenter."

"Laura spoke for American Dream U at our event in Camp Zama, Japan. She shared the opportunities that the transitioning men and women of our Nation’s military have in the nonprofit world, therefore, helping the audience think outside the box when regarding transitioning back into the civilian workforce. We can’t wait to have her speak at another military installation in the future!"

"Laura is a dynamic, authoritative, expert in leadership and discipline. Best of all, as a speaker, she delivers pithy, memorable, funny, insightful, and USEFUL guidance and inspiration to impact the journey of those with whom she connects. She is generous with her time, and a collaborative partner in making an event all it can be. For Girl Starter LIVE, Laura delivered powerful advice to female entrepreneurs and leaders of all ages and followed up one on one with members of our audience.  We were so fortunate to have her with us."
