My speaking engagements range from keynote addresses for large organizations and corporate audiences to workshops and talks in more intimate school, religious, or private settings.

I have also performed live storytelling at numerous venues, including The Skirball Cultural Center, and The Moth’s Main Stage.

I am a frequent moderator and panelist at conferences across the country and have shared the stage with a number of well-known emotional health advocates and thought leaders, including Arianna Huffington, Peggy Orenstein, Geena Davis, Jane Fonda, Amy Chua, Katie Couric, and Esther Perel.

By weaving in clinical experience and real-world stories with compelling research, I help people to think about themselves and their place in the world in surprising new ways. My goal is to create open conversations around our emotional lives and to offer insights that shift perspectives and lead to change. I tailor my talks to accommodate the needs of specific audiences, and my style has been described as approachable, entertaining, and covertly informative—meaning, I provide valuable takeaways while keeping audiences engaged.

SPEAKING PRAISE

“Lori Gottlieb’s event was one of the most successful–and talked about–programs of the season. She is a terrific speaker, and has that rare gift of being entertaining and brilliant. Her topics of interest and research are always just one step ahead of the cultural conversation of the moment, and spur public discourse that is provocative and important. People turn out in droves for the opportunity to hear her.”

“We were thrilled to host Lori Gottlieb as the featured speaker at our annual fundraiser Gala attended by several hundred people, including Jane Fonda. Lori’s remarks struck a balance between being exquisitely sensitive and hilariously funny. She showed a deep understanding and profound insight into the complexities of the topic, and courage in revealing herself personally as well. Our guests loved Lori!”

“We were honored to host Lori Gottlieb as the keynote speaker for our Embrace Hadassah Luncheon. She was delightfully entertaining, brutally honest, and incredibly uplifting at the same time. We applaud her for doing a masterful job of making her topic relevant to a very diverse, intergenerational audience. Lori was a wonderful speaker and our guests won’t soon forget her!”
