It’s time to step out of your fears & LEARN TO FALL in love with YOUR STORY.
“
Just like the college football stories she brings to life, Lauren's narrative leaves her audience inspired to face challenges head-on, persevere through adversity, and emerge victorious, embodying the spirit of a true champion.”
—Nick Saban, Former Alabama Football Coach & Seven-Time National Champion
Hey there, I’m LAUREN SISLER.
I’ve spent countless hours telling stories of grit, determination, and leadership as an ESPN reporter (you may know me by my sideline shimmy) and Emmy award-winning sports broadcaster. However, it wasn’t until I began to embrace my own resilience and tell my own story that I learned how much transformation was waiting on the other side.
As a keynote speaker and author, I don’t just skim the surface—I get gritty, dive deep, and forge genuine connections. I help a variety of audiences — from corporate leaders and athletes to organizations and advocacy groups — harness their inner strength, find authenticity, and lead shatterproof lives. Together, we explore the profound depths of personal and professional transformation.
By stepping out of your fears, YOU CAN SHAPE a more resilient, shatterproof, joyful life… and world.
It all starts with falling in love with your story.
How embracing my own family story of addiction, grief, and loss led me to break free from shame (so that you can do the same)
Here’s what my keynotes explore:
How courageous and authentic leadership can become your true superpower
How you can create more connection, joy, and gratitude by facing adversity head-on
My keynotes are dynamic, motivational, and completely customized to your unique needs and events — and I can’t wait to meet you.
