In a world increasingly shaped by interlocking crises, systems thinking is no longer enough. This talk introduces systems feeling—an emergent practice that equips individuals and teams to sense, hold, and respond to complexity with emotional intelligence, not just analytical frameworks. Laura explores how internal literacy—our capacity to feel into systems—can unlock wiser decision-making, stronger relationships, and more resilient leadership in times of uncertainty.

What if awe could do what guilt and blame can’t? Drawing on psychology, storytelling, and real-world examples, this talk reveals how awe can dissolve apathy, ignite curiosity, and sustain long-term commitment to change. Laura makes the case for awe not as a solution, but as a powerful disruptor—particularly in the climate and social impact space—capable of shifting how we relate to ourselves, each other, and the planet.

Regenerative leadership is not about managing complexity—it’s about tending to it. In this session, Laura explores how leaders can shift from extraction to cultivation, from control to co-creation. Drawing from nature-inspired systems and years of experience in cross-sector collaborations, she offers practices that support leaders in becoming stewards of resilience, interdependence, and living systems.

Making impact felt, not just measured
We don’t just think our way through systems—we feel and story our way through them. In this session, Laura unpacks how narrative shapes perception, engagement, and action. She offers powerful techniques to move beyond facts and metrics, helping leaders and teams craft stories that invite empathy, clarify complexity, and catalyze transformation across silos.
