Hello, I'm Lori Zukin
I work with leaders and teams to create meaningful change by turning ideas into action. Whether you’re navigating complexity, strengthening leadership, or fostering collaboration, the right conversation can spark the momentum you need.
My keynotes and workshops go beyond inspiration—they’re designed to engage, challenge, and equip your team with practical strategies that drive results. Through interactive discussions and hands-on learning, we’ll break down barriers, unlock new insights, and create lasting impact.
Let’s design an experience that energizes your people, fuels progress, and moves your organization forward.
My approach to speaking is centered on dynamic engagement and active learning.
In contrast to the traditional “sage on the stage,” I bring out the strengths of participants in meaningful dialogues and thought-provoking activities that foster collaboration. From small executive team workshops to large keynote addresses, participants leave both inspired and empowered, with tips, tools, and skills they can apply to real work challenges.
My most frequently requested speaking topics fall into three main categories:
GET THE BIG PICTURE
Enterprise & Strategic Mindset
Navigating Complexity
Strategy to Execution
GET ALIGNED
Trust
Conflict Resolution
Reducing Drama at Work
Challenging Feedback
Stress & Resilience
GET IT DONE

Decision Making
Accountability
We are coming together as a collective group to help our fellow cohort members. There is definitely a stronger feeling of unity than I’ve sensed previously.

The Zukin Leadership session was the highlight of our (two-week) program, and it was incredibly engaging. Many attendees shared that they walked away with immediate changes that they will implement in their meetings. Your expertise and enthusiasm truly made a difference.

Format and design fully tailored to your needs
I approach every speaking engagement as a collaborative partnership: While I bring the content expertise, you’re the expert on the unique needs of your organization and participant group.
Whether you wish to align leadership on your strategic plan, build cohesion and skills in a leadership team, spark curiosity and excitement at a professional conference, or inspire hundreds of employees around a critical change effort, we can design an approach precisely targeted to meet your goals. And if you’re not yet clear what you need, I’ll work with you to bring ease and efficiency to the full design process, from initial creative brainstorming to finalizing the topic, format, and interactive details that are most in service to your participant group.
