Leslie Coutterand Biography

Leslie Coutterand is a French-American speaker, journalist, director, producer, and climate activist whose career spans entertainment, environmental advocacy, and storytelling. Coutterand attended Cours Florent in Paris, graduating from the European acting school. She gained recognition for lead roles on French national networks, including TF1's prime time TV series "Julie Lescaut" and France 2's "Déjà Vu," which was nominated for best teen show at the national TV Festival de La Rochelle. Coutterand also appeared in the American film industry with a role in "Larry Gaye: Renegade Male Flight Attendant," alongside Henry Winkler and Marcia Gay Harden. She has been featured in international cosmetic campaigns for brands such as Nivea and Head & Shoulders.

After a period of personal exploration and meetings with spiritual leaders in Nepal, India, and Southeast Asia, Coutterand shifted her focus to projects with a positive impact on society and the environment. In addition to acting, she has produced short documentaries and commercials for Nuro, SciFuture, Indeed, and Google, and directed a six-episode miniseries comedy for BBC3 on gender norms and sexism. Coutterand is the co-director of the documentary "I Love Therefore I Am." Her commitment to social impact led her to launch a fundraising campaign to build two schools with BuildOn in Nepal and Haiti, alongside actresses Madeline Zima and Scottie Thompson.

In the environmental sector, Coutterand initiated and launched three campaigns in collaboration with iboycott.org and Friends of the Earth, urging major French banks to divest from the Dakota Access Pipeline and invest in clean energy. These campaigns collectively received 1.3 million views. Coutterand has delivered three TEDx Talks in France and the United States and regularly speaks at international summits about the impact of social and digital conditioning, environmental awareness, and society's vision of success and ambition. Her advocacy has been evident in speeches at events such as Indonesian Sustainable Energy Week and the annual conference of the Harvard Project for Asia and International Relations.

Coutterand has moderated panels at the French summit Les Sommets, interviewing the former French Secretary of State of Ecological Transition, CEOs, presidents of European Business School EM Lyon and the Graduate Institute of Geneva, philosophers, psychology experts, and award-winning authors. She is also a sought-after panel moderator for events including BPI France, Cannes Film Festival, Axa, and Femmes Entre-Aides et Autonomie. Coutterand is the founder of Flashworld Media, a podcast and short documentary production company focused on challenging mainstream narratives. She produces and hosts the podcast "Deconditioned." Through her work as a speaker, filmmaker, and activist, Coutterand addresses consumerism, social conditioning, and environmental issues.

    Description:

    In this captivating talk, Leslie takes us on a transformative journey, inviting us to challenge the influence of social norms, selfie culture, and the impact of influencers on our perception of beauty, success, and happiness. In today's digital age, influencers wield significant power in shaping social norms, often perpetuating unsustainable, heteronormative, gender normative, capitalist, and unattainable ideals.

    During this thought-provoking talk:

    • We'll explore the profound impact of social conditioning and cognitive biases on our beliefs and behaviors, with a special focus on how influencers subtly influence our emotions and daily lives.
    • We'll address the detrimental effects of the constant comparison culture, leading to addictive behaviors and feelings of inadequacy, particularly in the pursuit of unrealistic beauty standards and specific lifestyles.

    • Together, we'll break free from societal constraints, celebrating self-acceptance and shaping our own definitions of achievement.
