Lauren Paton is a motivating and exciting speaker, coach and trainer with a passion for getting more women seen and heard in the rooms where important decisions are made.
Straight-talking, funny, compassionate, and insightful, her goal is to pull back the curtain on what’s really going on and give her audience those magical a-ha moments that turn an inspiring idea into a change-making action.
Previously a senior marketing leader at Amazon, Disney and a failed start-up, she earned a global reputation for game-changing strategic thinking that smashed impossible targets, all the while leading high-performing teams with authenticity, emotional intelligence, confidence and a dash of radical self-care.
She’s now the founder of leadership consultancy Scout + Circle, where she combines her 20+ years of strategic marketing and communications experience, with 5+ years as a business owner, coach and consultant, to bring her unique perspective on people, leadership, culture and what it means to succeed as a woman when you’re outnumbered.
Lauren is now booked by leading companies like Amazon, EY, Eurostar and the BBC, to share her expertise on women in leadership, emotional intelligence, confidence, and the future of leadership.
Lauren is also the host of the acclaimed podcast 'A Woman in a Man’s World' and can be found on LinkedIn talking about everything from women’s leadership to pop culture.
