- Lauren Lasceski
Engineer. Former Division I Athlete. Twin. Speaker on Resilience, Performance & the Why Not Me? Mindset. Lauren Lasceski Engineer. Former Division I Athlete. Twin. Speaker on Resilience, Performance & the Why Not Me? Mindset. Lauren Lasceski’s story begins with the odds stacked against her, before she ever took her first breath. Lauren and her twin sister were diagnosed in utero with Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS), a rare and life-threatening pregnancy complication with devastating outcomes if left untreated. Doctors gave them only a 6% chance of survival, with little expectation that both girls would survive, let alone live healthy, able-bodied lives. But they did. That beginning shaped everything. Growing up with the awareness that her life started as a fight for survival gave Lauren an uncommon perspective on resilience, gratitude, and possibility. It became the foundation for the mindset she now shares with audiences: that challenge does not have to define your limitations—it can become the reason you rise. Today, Lauren brings that message to stages through a rare combination of powerful storytelling, elite athletic experience, and real-world performance under pressure. A former Division I cross country and track athlete, Lauren competed at the highest collegiate level while balancing academic excellence and leadership. She was recognized as MAC Athlete of the Week, earned four Scholar-Athlete honors, and was named a multi-time Academic All-American and Academic All-MAC, demonstrating sustained excellence both in competition and in the classroom. Years of competing in high-pressure environments taught Lauren how to navigate uncertainty, setbacks, discipline, and the mental demands of performance when outcomes are never guaranteed. That drive extended beyond athletics. Lauren is now an engineer with her master's degree, bringing the same discipline, analytical thinking, and resilience into her professional career. Her journey, from surviving a 6% chance at life, to Division I athlete, to engineer, to speaker, gives her a perspective that is both deeply personal and broadly applicable across leadership, performance, mindset, and growth. Whether speaking to corporate teams, student-athletes, leadership groups, women in STEM, organizations navigating change, or beyond, Lauren challenges audiences to rethink adversity, redefine possibility, and step toward the life they want with courage. Her message is rooted in one question: Why not me? Why not go after the opportunity?Why not rise after the setback?Why not believe something bigger is possible—even when the odds say otherwise? Lauren’s talks leave audiences energized, challenged, and equipped with practical tools to build confidence, embrace pressure, and perform with purpose. She doesn’t speak about resilience as a theory. She speaks about what it looks like to live it. TOPICS Why Not Me? An inspirational keynote on resilience, belief, and becoming Lauren’s signature keynote explores what happens when you stop waiting to feel ready and choose to believe you belong in the room, in the opportunity, and in the life you’re working toward. Rooted in her story of surviving Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome alongside her twin sister, competing as a Division I athlete, and building a career as an engineer, Lauren challenges audiences to rethink adversity—not as proof they can’t, but as part of the reason they can. This keynote is about courage, perspective, and asking the question that can change everything: Why not me? Ideal for: conferences, leadership events, women’s events, student audiences, and general keynote sessions. The Engineering of Resilience Building strength under pressure—in performance, leadership, and life What does resilience actually look like when pressure is real? Blending her background as an engineer and former Division I athlete, Lauren breaks down resilience as something we build—through challenge, repetition, failure, recovery, and choice. This keynote connects performance psychology with real-life application, showing audiences how resilience can be developed like any other skill. Ideal for: engineering organizations, STEM conferences, women in STEM, corporate leadership teams, and high-performance workplaces. The Physics of Fear Understanding fear, pressure, and how to move anyway Fear has weight. Pressure has momentum. Doubt has force. In this keynote, Lauren explores the internal mechanics of fear—how it shows up in the body, influences decision-making, and often stands between us and growth. Drawing from athletics, engineering, and personal experience, she offers a practical framework for moving through fear instead of waiting for it to disappear. Ideal for: leadership development, performance-focused teams, student-athletes, and organizations navigating change. The Bubble Athlete What fighting for the last spot teaches us about identity, pressure, and performance Not everyone competes from certainty. Lauren shares what it was like living on the edge of qualification—fighting for roster spots, racing under pressure, and constantly navigating the space between making it and missing it. This keynote speaks to anyone who has ever felt overlooked, underestimated, or stuck between “almost” and “not yet.” It’s about performance, identity, resilience, and learning how to keep showing up when nothing feels guaranteed. Ideal for: athletic departments, student-athletes, coaches, and performance-centered audiences. The Depression You Don’t See Emotional honesty, invisible struggle, and the courage to be human Some of the hardest battles don’t look visible from the outside. This keynote creates space for a more honest conversation around mental wellness, identity, internal pressure, and what it means to carry struggle while still appearing successful. Lauren speaks openly about the tension between achievement and emotional wellbeing, helping audiences feel seen while reducing stigma around invisible struggle. Ideal for: wellness conferences, universities, young professional groups, women’s events, and mental health initiatives. Redefining Strong A leadership keynote on vulnerability, resilience, and what strength really looks like Strength is often misunderstood as pushing through, holding it together, or never breaking. Lauren challenges that definition. This keynote reframes strength as self-awareness, adaptability, emotional honesty, and the willingness to continue forward—especially when things feel uncertain. A powerful talk on human-centered leadership and leading with both resilience and authenticity. Ideal for: leadership conferences, women’s leadership, corporate teams, and culture-focused organizations. The Space Between A keynote on becoming—through persistence, perspective, and forward motion Hope starts the movement. Determination sustains it. Momentum changes everything. This keynote explores what it means to keep becoming—through setbacks, uncertainty, pressure, and reinvention. Lauren shares reflections on resilience, discipline, identity, and the quiet work of continuing to move forward, even before the outcome is clear. This is a keynote about growth, possibility, and the power of staying in motion. Ideal for: opening or closing conference keynotes, leadership retreats, student audiences, and inspirational events.

- Ed "Too Tall" Jones
Former Professional Football Player Ed "Too Tall" Jones Former Professional Football Player It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out how Ed “Too Tall” Jones got his nickname. Standing at a towering 6 feet 8 inches, the Jackson, Tennessee native was simply too tall for opposing linemen and quarterbacks to handle. Jones was a standout high school basketball player and was recruited to Tennessee State University, where he initially played basketball for two years. Fortunately for TSU—and eventually, the NFL—he made a life-changing decision to switch to football. His choice paid off, earning him All-American honors in both his junior and senior years. Jones gained national recognition in 1974 when the Dallas Cowboys selected him as the first overall pick in the NFL Draft. As a dominant defensive end, he spent 15 seasons with Dallas, setting a franchise record with 194 career starts before retiring at the end of the 1989 season. A key force in the Cowboys’ legendary “Doomsday Defense” of the 1970s, Jones consistently earned Defensive Player of the Week honors. He played in 20 playoff games and was selected for three consecutive Pro Bowls from 1981 to 1983, earning All-Pro honors in 1981 and 1982. His contributions helped propel the Cowboys to three Super Bowl appearances, winning Super Bowl XII in 1978 and solidifying their reputation as “America’s Team.” In 1979, Jones took a brief hiatus from football to pursue professional boxing, compiling a perfect 6-0 record before returning to the Cowboys just a year later. Beyond football, Jones has showcased his versatility in entertainment, appearing in films like Necessary Roughness and Squeeze Play, as well as guest-starring in popular TV shows such as Diff’rent Strokes and Married… with Children. He also has a passion for rhythm and blues music and enjoys hot yoga. Now retired, Jones continues to reside in Dallas, where his legacy as one of the greatest defensive players in Cowboys history remains firmly intact. PAST CLIENTS Panini Topps IMG

- Mike Abrashoff
Former Commander, USS Benfold and Author, It's Your Ship Mike Abrashoff Former Commander, USS Benfold and Author, It's Your Ship At the age of 36, the Navy selected Abrashoff to become Commander of USS Benfold – at the time, the most junior commanding officer in the Pacific Fleet. The immediate challenges that faced him on this underperforming naval warship were staggering: exceptionally low morale, high turnover and unacceptably low performance evaluations. Few thought that this ship could improve. In many ways, the USS Benfold was actually an extreme example of the same problems facing many organizations today. The solution was to establish a system of management techniques that Abrashoff calls The Leadership Roadmap. At the core of his leadership approach on Benfold was a process of replacing command and control with commitment and cohesion, and by engaging the hearts, minds, and loyalties of workers – with conviction and humility. “The most important thing that a captain can do is to see the ship through the eyes of the crew.” According to Abrashoff, The Leadership Roadmap is a practice that empowers every individual to share the responsibility of achieving excellence. “It’s your ship,” he was known to say. His former sailors to this day still remind him of it. By every measure, these principles were able to achieve breakthrough results. Personnel turnover decreased to an unprecedented 1 percent. The rate of military promotions tripled, and the crew slashed operating expenses by 25 percent. Regarded as the finest ship in the Pacific Fleet, Benfold won the prestigious Spokane Trophy for having the highest degree of combat readiness. Most important – this transformation took place with the same crew. What had changed was the ship’s culture and Abrashoff’s leadership style. Abrashoff recounted the leadership lessons from the turnaround of USS Benfold in It’s Your Ship, a New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller, with over 800,000 copies sold to date. This extraordinary interest in Abrashoff’s leadership journey and Benfold’s organizational lessons led to two follow-up books – Get Your Ship Together and It’s Our Ship. Those books took readers deeper into ways these principles have been put into action by business leaders in their own organizations. Prior to commanding USS Benfold, Abrashoff served as the Military Assistant to Secretary of Defense William J. Perry. He also helped draft the air defense plan for naval forces in the Persian Gulf in 1990, coinciding with Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait; and served as the Executive Officer of the Cruiser Shiloh, where he deployed to the Persian Gulf in support of United Nations sanctions against Iraq. Mike Abrashoff is the founder of GLS Worldwide, a consulting firm which works with and supports leaders as they address leadership, talent and business challenges within their organization. The firm challenges leaders at all levels to re-imagine their leadership thinking and create new ways to elevate individual, team and organizational performance.
