Laura Morton Speaking Topics

  • What I’ve Learned from Telling Other People’s Life Stories

    Laura inspires by talking through the best of the life lessons she’s collected throughout the years, having written more than 40 books about personalities from all walks of life. As a collaborator, she has written the life stories of rock stars, politicians, rival soap stars, reality stars, child stars, a sitcom star, morning show hosts, hard news journalist, health advocates, and a bounty hunter. These stories have covered kidnapping, prison sentences, supermodeling, race car driving, founding several billion dollar companies, across all faiths, sexualities, and life experiences. Laura speaks to the gifts of failure, friendship, family, and faking it till you make it, drawing on the tremendous lessons each of these fascinating personalities has shared on the most personal and intimate level.

  • We are ALL Warriors

    When Laura Morton chose to become a single mom in her 40’s, she ultimately went through 7 rounds of IVF without telling anyone, because she was worried about jeopardizing her career opportunities. She thought this was a true warrior story—until she finally became pregnant at the age of 43. That’s when she came to understand the true meaning of “warrior mom”—at least warrior mom-to-be—delivering a book to her publisher 2 days before delivering her daughter. 7 years later, Morton would discover her inner warrior yet again, this time fighting breast cancer. Laura speaks about what it means to be a warrior: being brave, courageous, compassionate, genuine, authentic, action oriented and advocating for a cause. A warrior is also someone who perseveres in the face of adversity, exhibits unwavering strength, lives life with dignity and with an indomitable spirit. This speech is a fearless attack on living everyday life in the warrior mindset—breaking free of worry, not being attached to the opinions of others and living an authentic life, told with humor, perseverance and heartwarming depth.

  • Through My Daughter’s Eyes: When Life Comes Full Circle

    Laura shares the story of how she lost her mom to cancer in 1975, at age 10—and then was diagnosed with breast cancer herself, 40 years later. This ironic news came 2 weeks after the publication of Joan Lunden's cancer memoir, Had I Known, which Morton co-wrote—and on the heels of reassuring her young daughter that not all mommies get cancer and not all mommies die. Life can and often does surprise us, changing in unexpected ways in an instant. This is the healing, moving and poignant full circle life lessons learned by experiencing her 7 year old daughter’s journey as she watched Morton go through her own cancer battle—just as she did her own mother 40 years earlier. It’s an intimate look at mother/daughter relationships, what they shared throughout their very personal experience, how it changed their lives, brought them closer, opened up their conversations and created a stronger family connection.

  • They Told Me I Couldn’t…So I Did Anyway

    Laura Morton’s entire career can be described in one sentence: “It didn’t go as planned, and that’s ok with me.” This is the story of Laura’s failures and successes, the ups and downs of her careers that led her to where she is today—including failing her Series 7, becoming a successful headhunter, selling Chrysler 75,000 copies of her career videotape, “Successful Interviewing”, starting her own prosperous production company, being told her first book was a horrible idea, then selling it anyway, making it a New York Times Bestseller and going on to write more than 40 books writing a total of 19 New York Times bestsellers to date. This is the ultimate story of reinvention, staying relevant in an ever-changing landscape, having an insatiable willingness to grow, change and by all means never letting anyone else dictate the outcome of your life.

  • The Art of Collaboration/The High Worth of World Class Collaborative Relationships

    Laura Morton is considered one of the world’s top “ghostwriters,” but she much prefers the title “collaborator,” because it better describes the art of what she does. Laura describes how the best work stems from the spirit of a true collaborative effort between people doing what they love. This inspirational speech draws from her experiences as the “top gun” collaborator in publishing, and brings those principles into the workforce. When you create world class collaborations within an organization, you build morale, productivity and ultimately profit. When you grow your people first, your business ultimately grows.

  • Life in the Rear View Mirror

    Laura speaks about how there is a remarkable power in reflection and letting go of the past. Looking back holds many people hostage and keeps them stuck in life; Laura talks about how to look backwards in a healthy way in order to positively move forward. This is the story of how we get from “here” to “there.” Laura explains how when we live life in crisis we can only deal with crisis. The goal is to let go—which is not forgetting but accepting what life has brought to us, embracing the gifts of adversity, learning to move on with positivity and believing that life is happening FOR us and not TO us.
