Lauri-Ann
Ainsworth
I write, speak and create about finding meaning in what we’ve lived, knowing ourselves beyond what we do, and shaping our experiences into stories others can connect with.
WHAT I DO & WHO I HELP
My work is for people who have something they want to share, a lived experience, a lesson, a way of seeing the world, but aren’t sure how to put it into words. You don’t have to think of yourself as a writer.
I help you discover what your story is about, find the thread connecting it and shape it into something others can connect with.
I bring that work to life through conversations, coaching, workshops and tools. Through my own books, writing and speaking, I share what I’m discovering along the way.
I help people find and tell the stories their lives have given them.
I’M A
Also: mother, entrepreneur, perpetual question-asker, storyteller.
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 the stories we carry: what our experiences have taught us, how they’ve shaped us and what might be useful to share. Through writing, creativity and self-inquiry, I’m interested in how we discover those stories and find our own way to tell them.
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.
MY WORK
Here’s how I create value from what life has taught me.
I make sense of my experiences through writing and creating. The stories, questions and ideas I find along the way become books, essays, talks, workshops and tools—ways to share what I’m learning and help someone else see, think or live a little differently.
