Top English & Spanish Keynote Speaker in the Pacific Northwest

I’m Laura Flores, a Keynote Speaker who Lights a Fire, Not Just a Room

Let’s be honest.

Nobody remembers the speaker who stood behind a podium and read bullet points.

People remember the speaker who made them laugh. Made them think. Made them uncomfortable in all the right ways. The one who challenged what they believed, gave them practical tools they could actually use, and left them feeling like they could walk back into work on Monday and do something differently.

That’s the kind of keynote I deliver.

I don’t show up to simply motivate people for an hour. I show up to create momentum that lasts long after the applause ends.

Custom & Personalized Keynotes Based on Your Conference, Theme, Audience, Industry & Objectives

I’m not here to be the star of the show, i’m here to make your audience feel like this event is about them, their needs, and what brings them to your event in the first place.

This is why I customize every speech to your audience, your objectives, and what’s needed to leave each member with something to take with them.

 

What I am Committed to as a Presenter & Keynote Speaker:

  • Understand Your Objectives & Your Specific Audience for Your Conference or Event
  • Creating Keynotes and Presentations that are 100% Customizable to Your Conference Needs
  • Truly Connecting & Engaging with Your Specific Audience
  • Being Relatable but Not Unprofessional
  • Bringing Humor Paired with Real-Life Stories to Show, Teach, and Share
  • Giving the Whole Room an Actionable Takeaway or Insight That’s Beyond Motivation and Inspiration
  • Contributing to the Quality & Experience of Your Attendees & Leaving them Lit Up About What You Created at Your Event

This is about more than talking on a stage. This is about each person leaving with something valuable.

Laura has a way of bringing authentic humor, real insights, storytelling, and meeting your unique objectives in a way that resonates with your audience all at once, bringing her full Latina self, years of experience as an HR professional and consultant to your keynote.

She’s spent years speaking, building custom trainings, and presenting to thousands of people across the country. No matter the topic, she’s known for one thing: bridging gaps using the platinum rule. Which means she speaks to her audience in ways they want to be spoken to, she does the research and digs deep to make sure she creates content that relevent to the room.

Her goal is that every person in the room walks away with something valuable, an insight, an idea, even a feeling, that makes a real difference in their life, right then and there.

Laura uses her gift of storytelling to connect and engage with her audience in every keynote. She pulls from over 20 years in HR, being a mom and the leader of her home, working with clients and people across a wide variety of industries, experiences, and backgrounds. No matter what topic Laura speaks on, you can be sure that her stories are going to make an impact.

Laura doesn’t leave anything behind when she speaks because she doesn’t simply teach or talk; even with the stickier (or stuffier) topics, without fail, she ignites and lights up the whole room.

My style?

  • High-energy
  • Bold
  • A little tough love
  • A lot of humor
  • Real-life storytelling

I bring:

  • Relatability
  • Latina sass
  • Cultural perspective
  • Practical takeaways people can apply immediately

I use pop culture references, real workplace scenarios, and interactive moments to help people connect the dots to their own lives.

Because if they don’t see themselves in the message—they won’t remember it.

A Keynote That Understands How to Read the Room & Connect with Your Audience

Beyond Information: A Keynote Speaker Focused on Transformation + Connection

After years of speaking, there are a few things I watch for when I’m on stage. Is the audience engaged? Are they leaning in or checking out? What expressions are on their faces as I talk? Are they laughing? Nodding because it resonates? Are they raising their hands if I ask questions? Is anyone giving me eye contact?

A keynote should feel like a conversation, not a lecture. 

My goal is that as we look at your goals and what you are creating, we dive deep into what you want your attendees to experience. And we will be intentional and strategic around your topic, theme, and even if you have specific takeaways or needs.

Which is why I ask questions, tell personal and professional stories, and invite participation. 

The goal is that I will never have to majorly pivot while I’m on stage because I got the details right during our pre-planning call. 

And when I’m on stage, not only am I going to deliver, I’m going to be prepared to shift and make adjustments as needed if things are not landing quite the way we planned. And you better bet that I’m going to do what I can, within reason, to not have the audience fall asleep while I’m on stage. I’ll ask a question, slow down, or speed up, or tell a backup story that teaches the principle in a way that will land better if my first story didn’t quite capture the engagement I was expecting. 

Once I’m your keynote, I’m committed to the success of your event, so that you can build an event that leaves attendees, vendors, and your audience wanting more.

Step 1: Discovery call to ask you about your desired outcomes, gather the details to understand your needs, and learn about your business/team/organization/goals.

Step 2: Complete an assessment and provide a plan with a proposed solution.

Step 3: Review the proposal on a call to determine if changes are needed. The goal is to get aligned on what is fully needed to reach your desired outcome.

Step 4: Prep work (review existing documents, emails, resources to bring into conversations, create worksheets, tracking for conversations and coaching outcomes, create documents, etc.)

Step 5: Provide consulting and/or coaching (number of sessions, timeframes, project work, etc. vary based on each client’s need)

I will also check in as needed for plan adjustments based on information discovered in coaching.

Step 6: Debrief. Review what went well and if any follow-up or additional assistance is needed.

Why I Care About Your Results? Life?

When you are solely “surviving” in your business or role, let’s be real…it sucks.  This is why when someone comes to me ready to make a change or improve their skills as a leader it lights me up!  This is when things start to really change for the better. Nothing gets me more excited than when a leader has identified they want to be better.  It brings me great joy and excitement to see a person or organization make the commitment to reach a goal or improve their current situation for the better.  I want to be part of your journey and watch the transformation as it happens.

Does coaching include training?

It depends on your desired outcome.  Sometimes, individuals or businesses want coaching to help them reach a desired goal where training would not be required.  Other times, they are looking for training and with simultaneous coaching to ensure they are getting the best possible opportunities to reach their desired outcomes.

Are you teaching them the consequences of not changing their behaviors?

Absolutely! If I’m working with one of your employees who doesn’t quite understand how their performance or behaviors affect others or the business, I will make sure to coach and provide resources to clue them in on their impact.  I will also evaluate if they are not receiving the message or are not willing to make the necessary changes to meet standards.

How can you help an employee make the changes needed if this is a “personality” problem or issue?

The goal is to identify the root cause of such “personality” issues and determine the best approach to help them so they can be better equipped to meet the expectations.  There can be a lot of different factors that influence how a person behaves and acts, so we look closely to find the best method to support their success.

Do you pair coaching and consulting with other services?

Yes, we can create a customized package for you that includes all the services you see that you need.  Need to update job descriptions, coach a supervisor, and train a department?  I got you!
