Laura Storm
Young Global Leader

Laura Storm wants a world where people are treated equal. Where leaders dare lead with compassion for people and planet and understand that this is the foundation for flourishing businesses and societies. Laura is a Greenbiz ‘Worldchanger’ and a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader. She is co-author of the book Regenerative Leadership. The DNA of life-affirming 21st century organizations.

Three things she wants to see change in the next ten years:
  • “The way we run corporations. I want to see respect for people and the resources used in production and consumption.
  • Gender-balance. Please. I can’t take one more all-male panel debate and conferences dominated by men in suits. Seriously?
  • Big egos getting in the way of progressive and positive change. Get over yourself. We don’t have time for bullshit like that.”

At the ELP Conference Laura will guide us into the future. Based on her concept of regenerative leadership, she will explain what current leaders need to change to build resilient organizations and flourishing societies.
