Lauri-Ann
Ainsworth
I write, speak and create about what it means to know ourselves beyond what we do, lead ourselves well and find the creative courage to express more of who we are.
I’M A
Also: mother, entrepreneur, perpetual question-asker, maker of things.
Writer.
Author.
Speaker.
Creator.
I believe the most important work we do begins within.
I’ve spent much of my life interested in what makes us who we are, what helps us thrive, what gets in our way and what becomes possible when we understand ourselves more deeply.
That curiosity has followed me through leadership, entrepreneurship, writing and life.
Today, much of my work explores who we are beyond our titles, the stories we carry and what happens when we make space for creativity, writing and self-inquiry.
MY PHILOSOPHY FOR LIVING, LEADING & CREATING
LOVE YOURSELF
Take care of the person doing the living.
KNOW YOURSELF
Pay attention to who you are and what your life is teaching you.
CREATE VALUE
Turn what you know into something that contributes.
MAKING SOMETHING OF IT
Here’s how I create value from what life has taught me.
My experiences, questions and ideas become the things I put out into the world - books, essays, talks, workshops and tools designed to help someone else see, think or live a little differently.
THE BOOK
The Self-Love Mindset
What I’ve learned about well-being, work, and leading ourselves well developed into a book.
THE SPEAKING
Ideas meant to be heard
Ideas and stories brought to life through keynotes, conversations and workshops.
THE WRITING
The Self-Written Life
What I’m noticing, questioning and thinking about now, explored through essays.
Your life is material. Pay attention to it.
FROM THE STUDIO
Things I’m creating
Books, journals, tools, workshops, experiences and other useful things born from ideas I’m exploring.
WORK WITH ME
Your experience has given you more than a résumé.
It has given you stories, ideas, instincts, questions, frameworks and ways of seeing things that are uniquely your own.
I help senior leaders explore who they are beyond their titles, reconnect with their creativity and uncover the stories they carry through writing and self-inquiry.
What do you know that only your life could have taught you?
