Laurie will be a featured speaker at the 2025 Association of Legal Writing Directors (ALWD) Summer Leadership Academy. Her session, Resilient Leadership, invites participants to explore how stress and resilience show up in both mind and body—and what it means to lead from a place of regulation, integrity, and wholeness. Grounded in the science of the nervous system and rooted in trauma-informed principles, this interactive session will offer practical, body-aware tools for navigating moments of conflict, overwhelm, and disruption in leadership.

While this event is not open to public registration, Laurie is honored to contribute to this important dialogue on cultivating sustainable, connected leadership within academic and legal communities.
