Lauren Paton is a renowned speaker, coach, and former marketing leader whose compelling voice in the mental health and wellbeing space has earned her widespread acclaim. With a career that spans over two decades in strategic marketing and leadership, Lauren has become a trusted advocate for female empowerment, emotional intelligence, and the importance of mental wellness in high-pressure environments. Known for her straight-talking style, wit, and deep compassion, she specialises in helping individuals—particularly women—navigate the complexities of leadership with authenticity, courage and radical self-care.
Before founding the female leadership consultancy Scout + Circle in 2019, Lauren held senior roles at major global companies including Amazon and Disney. At Audible, she led the launch into Australia and New Zealand, turning it into the brand’s fastest-growing market. As Head of Content Launch Marketing at Amazon, she built a global reputation for hitting ambitious targets while championing emotionally intelligent leadership. Her corporate journey—marked by impressive wins and invaluable lessons from failure—has shaped her unique approach to wellbeing in the workplace.
Lauren is now in demand as a keynote speaker by organisations such as the BBC, Eurostar, EY and her former employer, Amazon. Her most popular talks explore topics like imposter syndrome, emotional intelligence, confidence, and visibility—particularly as they relate to women in leadership. In all her sessions, Lauren delivers those transformative “a-ha” moments that shift mindsets and inspire meaningful action. She also shares her insights as the host of the podcast “A Woman in a Man’s World”, and has been recognised as a LinkedIn Top Voice for Gender Equity.
Lauren’s work is rooted in the belief that success without wellbeing is unsustainable. By openly discussing both the emotional and practical realities of leadership, she empowers her audiences to lead with intention and resilience.
