    LORI-ANN DUGUAY BIOGRAPHY

    Lori-Ann Duguay is on a mission to rescue workplaces from the black hole of burnout, boredom, and “because-we’ve-always-done-it-this-way” leadership. Lori-Ann Duguay’s the bestselling author of The Happiness Factor, a keynote speaker, and the founder, where she helps organizations ditch outdated management styles and build workplaces that don’t drive people to quit (or cry in the bathroom).

    After spending 21 years in government, Lori-Ann Duguay saw firsthand how disengagement, bad leadership, and lack of purpose turn workplaces into productivity graveyards. Instead of accepting it as the norm, Lori-Ann Duguay made it her life’s work to help organizations create cultures where people actually want to show up.

    No fluff, no corporate jargon—just real talk, practical strategies, and a healthy dose of humor.

    Her secret sauce? The 3M Approach—Measure, Map, Mobilize. It’s a no-nonsense system that helps leaders assess what’s working (and what’s not), map out an actual game plan, and take action that employees will actually care about. Whether she’s coaching executives, leading team training, or delivering a high-energy keynote, Lori-Ann brings a fresh, BS-free approach to fixing workplace culture.

    What makes her different? Lori-Ann Duguay’s not here to bore you with HR theory or generic leadership advice. Lori-Ann’s keynotes are fast-paced, engaging, and full of stories that make you laugh—and think. Lori-Ann Duguay’s a licensed Everything DiSC® Partner, a Certified Dispute Resolution Practitioner (aka workplace drama diffuser), and an expert in helping organizations get their leadership & employee engagement game on point.

    When Lori-Ann Duguay’s not speaking, coaching, or consulting, you can find Lori-Ann writing, fishing, or trying to keep her dog from stealing her lunch.

    If your organization is stuck in survival mode, struggling with turnover, or watching employees mentally check out, Lori-Ann Duguay is the speaker you need to shake things up and turn things around.

    Ready to stop losing great employees and start creating a workplace people actually love? Book Lori-Ann Duguay now—before your best people hand in their notice.
