Book IWD Speaker: Laura Piccardi

Stress management & performance expert - helping women achieve what they want without burning out

"The Generosity Paradox: Stop Burning Out and Start Making Change"

Laura’s talk this year gets to the heart of creating real change — both personally and collectively. We’re told to give generously, but what happens when giving drains us instead of empowers us? Laura explores how over-giving, insecurity, and depletion quietly limit our impact — and why meeting our own needs first is the key to lasting influence.

This subject matter is important not only for women's advancement, but also to address the burnout epidemic that’s quietly shaping our workplaces, communities, and lives.


Laura is an International Stress Management Expert, Speaker, Comedian, and bestselling author of Unfaked. After working herself into the ground and watching her business burn down (literally, not figuratively), Laura completely transformed her life - and now helps others achieve what they want without burning out.

Using honesty, humor, and real-world insights from working with hundreds of clients, she teaches leaders and teams how to break old patterns, think differently, and take action. Audiences leave inspired, energised, and entertained — ready to create real change and have a bloody good time in the process!
