SPEAKING Testimonials

  • “I want my company to hear from a speaker who challenges and improves their thinking. Laura Sawyier does this through her presentations on style and confidence, and she makes them fun, approachable, and practical.

    I loved having Laura speak to Hill Investment Group and feel like we need an ongoing series of LKS talks.”

    - Matt Hall | Co-Founder and Partner, Hill Investment Group

  • “Laura Sawyier led an energizing presentation at a Women's Event at our organization, and from start to finish, she had the room engaged.

    Aside from having a great time, the participants were taught practical ideas that they could incorporate into their everyday lives immediately. Even a week later, I have guests reaching out to me, thanking me for inviting them to the presentation, and asking when the next one will be! Laura had a broad appeal to our audience - we were able to connect with guests that we have hosted before, as well as many new attendees who we’d previously not connected with.

    Laura was easy to work with, detailed and organized, and we had a great time together. If you are looking for someone to speak with your organization, I cannot recommend Laura enough. Looking forward to working with her again!”

    - Rachel Palmesano | VP, Commercial Banking Relationship Manager, Commerce Bank

  • “What Laura teaches lives at the intersection of psychology, persuasion, and performance.”

    - Angie Ackerman | Vice President, Private Banking Relationship Manager, Commerce Trust

  • “Laura's insights and advice on the psychology of style transformed the room during our ACG St. Louis Women's Peer Group event.

    With her signature charisma, she is an engaging speaker and expert on style, confidence, and presence. She gives people a new lease on their self-worth - I loved watching the demeanor and energy change in the room. Her psychology lens and style tips were spot-on, providing us with the info to be intentional with how we show up and maximize our wardrobes.

    Borrowing from the renowned philosopher Dr. Seuss, there is nobody "youer than you!" Laura reminded us last week that style is for EVERYONE, and it is deeply personal. Book her for a keynote or a workshop as you start planning for 2025 and beyond!”

    - Rose Thompson | COO, ButcherJoseph & Co.

  • “I attended a great ACG presentation delivered by Laura K. Sawyier. It was interesting to learn the science behind style and how our choices can even help enhance our work productivity!

    The packed room was filled with local Saint Louis deal makers that all have a wide range of style choices but learned to approach how we dress in a similar streamlined approach to boost energy and confidence. After hearing Laura’s presentation my new style goal is dopamine dressing. Love it!”

    - Stephanie Bennett | Director of Private & Commercial Banking, Missouri, Northern Trust Wealth Management 

  • “ACG St. Louis had the pleasure of inviting Laura to speak at our recent event, and we cannot recommend her highly enough! Laura’s expertise in fashion consulting is unparalleled, and her presentation was not only insightful but also engaging.

    Laura has a deep understanding of style, trends, and how to empower individuals through fashion. Her ability to connect with the audience, provide practical advice, and share actionable insights left a lasting impression on everyone who attended. If you are looking for someone who brings creativity, professionalism, and passion to their work, Laura is the perfect choice.

    Thank you, Laura, for your valuable contribution to our event. We look forward to collaborating with you again in the future!”

    - Tracy Montgomery | Chapter Manager at Association for Corporate Growth St. Louis

  • “Laura Sawyier’s presentation at our CREW St. Louis Circles event was insightful, inspiring, and full of practical takeaways.

    She has a compelling way of blending personal development with style, making it both relatable and actionable. One concept that really resonated was the idea of “taking your daily vitamins” – not just supplements, but the habits and mindset shifts that fuel confidence and well-being.

    She also introduced us to “dopamine dressing,” a fun and thoughtful approach to choosing clothes that lift our mood and reflect our personality. And to my relief, she confirmed that skinny jeans are still in!

    Laura left us all feeling empowered to embrace our style with confidence. Thank you, Laura, for such an engaging and impactful experience!”

    - Michelle Biedermann | Director of Business Development, Brinkmann Constructors 

  • “Laura came to our office and gave an amazing presentation about the power of style. Not only was it one of the most well-received events we have ever hosted, but our employees are still asking for more! 

    As someone who is a bit of a science nerd, the educational background Laura gave on why style is important, was both fascinating and eye-opening to me. She so accurately described situations that I unknowingly put myself through on a daily basis and gave some really helpful tips on how to avoid them. 

    Laura was very engaged with the audience, making it feel more like a conversation between friends, rather than another boring lecture. Her presentation had the perfect balance of science, styling tips, and laughter. I really appreciated the time she took to answer individual questions and look forward to hosting Laura again soon!”

    - Rachel Strohm | Director, Product Management Cyber & Intelligence Solutions at Mastercard 

  • “I want to thank Laura for organizing this important event and conversation around circularity in fashion in partnership with Neiman Marcus. This was an opportunity for me to be able to participate as a panelist on behalf of Fashionphile and share our business model and initiatives. Our partnership with Neiman Marcus is one of the best examples of circularity in the ever-changing landscape of luxury e-commerce.

    It was a pleasure working with Laura; she is a thoughtful, knowledgeable, and engaging moderator who leads and extends the discussion for an audience through her industry knowledge. She does so intelligently and with approachability, bringing the audience along.

    I can easily keep the conversation going with Laura and highly recommend her for any speaking opportunity that’s right for a diverse audience through moderating, as a panelist, and keynote speaker.”

    - Nora Cummings | Head of Impact, Fashionphile

  • “We put a bow on Perennial with the always impressive Laura K. Sawyier talking about the intersection of style and confidence, and the psychology behind it. Laura is the very epitome of executive presence, and if I’m being honest, I spend more time than I should pondering how I can replicate her virtual meeting presence.

    She brought a whole new spin to our bonus session on how to think about ways to bring your best self and confidence to the table, in your own authentic way. Thank you for the final presentation, Laura!”

    - Megan Belcher | Chief Legal & External Affairs Officer, Scoular 

  • “Laura was wonderful! I laughed, I connected, I saw myself in her incredible presentation!

    I then complimented as many people as possible because I wanted to pass on the positive energy she started on stage! BRAVO.”

    - Indigo Sams | President & CEO Center of Creative Arts (COCA)

  • “I am delighted to recommend Laura K. Sawyier, Founder of LKS Styling & Consulting! Laura recently presented ‘The Power of Style: Why What You Wear Matters & How to Maximize Your Wardrobe’ to our women's and pride ERGs. The event was a resounding success—Laura's tips on curating an effective wardrobe that reflects one's authentic self resonated deeply with our attendees.

    Feedback on this event was overwhelmingly positive, highlighting that it was personal, relatable to work, and highly engaging and informative. This was a fun, out-of-the-ordinary topic, and everyone left excited to "shop their closets!”

    Laura is a pleasure to work with. She is approachable, empathetic, and positive, and I would recommend her for any opportunity to share her psychology expertise and passion for style. We can't wait to bring her back for future events and look forward to collaborating with her again!”

    - Jenn Hoffman, CCWP | Senior Director, Strategic Resourcing & ERG Leader, World Wide Technology 

  • Laura facilitated a session for us on Personal Branding. She brought such a powerful presence to the room – engaging, thoughtful, and full of fresh ideas.

    She met the audience exactly where we were and elevated the conversation with insight and authenticity. If you get the chance to hear her speak, don’t miss it!”

    - Liz Israelitt | Assurance Senior Manager – Financial Services, EY 

  • “Laura spoke to our Young Professionals group about Personal Branding, and she absolutely delivered. She brought incredible energy, fresh insights, and a clear perspective that really brought the whole topic to life.

    Leading up to the event, she was fantastic to work with – thorough, organized, and fully prepared. Thank you, Laura! I’ll stay in touch to learn more from you on the power of style!”

    - Sara Peterson | Team Leader – Customer Loans, Edward Jones
