BOOK Aimée Lagos

Aimée Lagos Speaking Topics

  • SWITCHING LENSES - How to embrace your differences to create a new perspective in the workplace - and get others to embrace you as well.

    There is no greater bastion of workplace inequity than Hollywood where women make up less than 10% of directors of top movies and less than 20% of writers and those numbers are declining. Lagos shares the lessons she's learned as a woman on her journey through the ranks of Hollywood, from her days as an assistant to Academy Award Winning filmmakers to becoming an award winning filmmaker and screenwriter herself. Lagos reminds us to find strength in our otherness, reframing our differences and vulnerabilities as our superpower rather than our Achilles Heel.

  • THE STORIES WE TELL

    We are all storytellers and the most important tale we weave is the one we tell about ourselves. In this talk, Lagos inspires us to examine the stories we've absorbed about ourselves from the outside world (through film, television, books, and family) and take control of the narrative on our journey to live the life we want to live. As an LGBTQ woman, raised in a multi racial family, and struggling with dyslexia, Lagos absorbed many stories about who she was and who she never could be. (Hint • a successful screenwriter was not on the list of possibilities!). In this talk, Lagos reminds us to challenge the narratives others write about us and takes us step by step through the process of rewriting our own story and learning to tell that story in every room we walk into. The next time someone says, "Tell me about yourself," you'll know exactly what to say!

  • I DARE YOU - Do What Scares You Most - or at least What Scares Them!

    As a prolific writer of thriller films, Lagos is no stranger to the power of fear. Fear can motivate us to take risks or cause us to be more risk averse. In this motivational talk, Lagos explains how her career in film started on a dare. A journalist's declaration that women couldn't be successful filmmakers because they were too risk averse to take on the debt required to make a movie, inspired Lagos to move to Los Angeles, knock on every door she could to find a job in film, then make her first movie, charging the cost of production to a credit card. And that was just the beginning of the risks she had to take at each step of her Hollywood journey. From writing her most personal stories into films, to negotiating deals with major studios, to weathering the storm of online reviews and press, Lagos unpacks the moments where fear has gripped her and the tools she uses to overcome them and take the next big risk.
