Laura is a popular speaker at conferences, conventions, cancer fundraising events, luncheons, and women's teas. Her speaking topics include:
Laughter Is the Best Medicine-
Fighting Cancer (or any illness or adversity) with faith, hope and a healthy dose of laughter. As a breast cancer survivor for more than a decade, Laura knows firsthand that laughter--combined with compassion--really is the best medicine. This humorous and poignant talk will appeal to all audiences, but is especially encouraging to women going through cancer. As Dolly Parton’s character in the movie Steel Magnolias said, “Laughter through tears is my favorite emotion.”
Follow Your Dreams-
"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." - Eleanor Roosevelt. Is there some special dream buried deep within your heart that you'd like to follow, but are afraid to for some reason? This motivational and humorous talk encourages people to pursue their dreams by sharing the story of how Laura’s lifelong dream of becoming an author finally came true.
When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Get Ice Cream-
Are the rocky roads of life getting you down? Whatever life throws her way-from being "dumped" a week before her wedding to breast cancer and menopause-Laura faces it all with determination, humor, and a big bowl of ice cream. She offers her unique take on tough times and stressful days in one funny and flavorful story after another. You'll discover how the bumps in the rocky road of life make those sweet ice cream days all the more delicious! Laura dishes out hope and humor and tops it with a cherry of God's love and wisdom.

“Laura Jensen Walker gave a wonderfully upbeat and informative presentation to our members. She was both a pleasure and joy to listen to. Her candid sharing of her own experiences with cancer went a long way in offering others a new light within which to view their encounters with breast cancer. It was great to see that humor and seriousness are not mutually exclusive under such circumstances.” --Andrea Karoff, LCSW, Program Coordinator Gilda’s Club, Chicago |

“Laura Jensen Walker is an articulate and energetic speaker who spoke at our community event co-sponsored by Sutter Auburn Faith Hospital Foundation and the American Cancer Society. Although breast cancer is a very serious subject, Laura was able to communicate through her compassion and humor to touch the women in the audience with a tremendous amount of love and encouragement—which contributed to the great success of the event.” --Joyce Pope, Past President, American Cancer Society, Auburn, California unit |

“Laura Jensen Walker is a powerful and dynamic speaker. I heard her speak in Harlem in front of a largely African-American audience. She quickly and easily engaged the audience and spoke with comfort and clarity about a very difficult subject. Laura filled the room with laughter, while maintaining a serious message about the importance of early breast cancer detection. I strongly support her contention to continue spreading her message about mammograms in her humorous and light-hearted way.” --Alexandra Mitnick, MSW, MPH Health Educator, Breast Examination Center of Harlem |

“When Laura Jensen Walker agreed to kick off her national book tour (Thanks for the Mammogram!) at the Charlotte Southern Women’s Show, we had no idea what a treat we were in for! We laughed and cried our way through her book and again through her speaking sessions. Her wit, boundless energy, enthusiasm, and poignancy had audiences begging for more. I would highly recommend Laura as a speaker. You can’t go wrong!” --Jean Griswold, Founder & CEO, Mobile Health Outreach, Inc., Charlotte, NC |

"Laura spoke at our annual Women's Conference in March 2005. What a joy! She is a wonderful, energetic speaker who engages your thoughts and hearts from her first words. Her testimony of the hard knocks she's faced in life, along with her breast cancer trials, are a true encouragement to women everywhere. We love her! --Tanya Secrist, Women's Ministry Leader, Westmoore Community Church, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma |

“Inspirational! Laura finds places in your soul you may not know exist. She’ll make you laugh, she’ll make you cry…she’ll make you think. Her dynamic, humor-filled presentation shows us all how to handle the speed bumps of life with humor and spiritual grace.” --Minerva Baumann Communications Director |

“Laura Jensen Walker has a marvelous speaking talent—she draws on real life experiences and expresses them in such a way to touch the hearts of all who hear her. She incorporates large doses of faith, grace and laughter in her talks. After hearing Laura speak in a myriad of settings, I happily recommend her to anyone needing a speaker who is both funny and poignant.” --Debbie Cullifer, Pastor’s Wife, Folsom Landmark Baptist Church and Toastmasters International Division H Chief Judge |
