Beyond the Kremenator: Speaking with Flow and Fire

Send Lauri a message

In part two of my conversation with Kremena Yordanova, we turn to the present — her evolving relationship with speaking, her dance with imposter syndrome, and the art of showing up unscripted and real. Kremena shares her favorite speaking experiences, her perspective on leading across generations, and the importance of humility in conscious leadership. We close with the Pivot Pivot: a playful round of questions that reveal her quirks, her loves, and the legacy she wants to leave behind.

TAKEAWAYS:

1. Imposter monsters show up to protect us — but their voice isn’t the truth. We can thank them, and then choose not to let them drive.
2. Mistakes on stage don’t diminish our power; they make us more magnetic, more human, more alive.
3. Presence isn’t about perfection. It’s about allowing life to flow through us in real time, never the same twice.
4. Vulnerability is the currency of connection. When we drop the mask, we give others permission to drop theirs.
5. Humility is strength. Letting Gen Z or anyone younger than us teach us is leadership in its most conscious form.
6. Humanity is like an orchestra. Every voice — drums, violins, even the instruments we’ve never heard before — is needed for true harmony.
7. Conscious leadership begins with ourselves. It’s the daily practice of asking: Who do I want to be remembered as?
