Lauren Sisler, an Emmy Winning ESPN Sportscaster and Mental Health Advocate, believes that "Your story is significant. Learn to love it, then do something with it." As a two-time national and regional Emmy award-winning sports broadcaster with ESPN and SEC Network, Lauren uses the power of storytelling to inspire and bring awareness to important issues.
Lauren's journey includes unexpectedly losing her parents to their concealed battle with prescription drug addiction when she was just a college freshman. Despite this devastating setback, Lauren pursued her passion for sports broadcasting and became a resilient success in the competitive field.
Lauren is a passionate advocate for addiction prevention and mental health and an expert on resilience, the power of story, inspiration, sports media & journalism, shame & courage, and addiction prevention. She teaches audiences to use the power of their own stories to rebound from tragedy with courage and resilience.
In her keynotes, Lauren takes audiences behind her life and career scenes, sharing valuable lessons on embracing one's story, overcoming shame, and finding purpose and gratitude in every circumstance. She reframes trauma, acknowledges past pain, and empowers individuals to view life through courage, confidence, and resilience.
As a sideline reporter for ESPN, Lauren Sisler discovered firsthand that the rigors of broadcast television aren’t as glamorous as they may seem. What started as a way to calm her pre-broadcast jitters became a sideline fan favorite tradition called the “Sideline Shimmy”©. Since its accidental debut on ESPN in 2019, Lauren’s sideline moves have been shared online and viewed millions of times across the world.
She found that the Sideline Shimmy did more than bring her and others joy, it became a unique way to inject joy into her job. It empowered her to step out of her fears and live each day with confidence and increased happiness.
Through her personal tragedy and professional experiences, Lauren discovered her job to be more than a paycheck. It became a vehicle for a greater purpose.
“I used to think, cool I’m on tv. I get to talk about sports for a living and interview some of the most prolific athletes and coaches in the game. But it’s so much more than a game. I recognize now through my storytelling on the field, I am able to bring inspiration and hope into someone else’s life who might be at home tuning in, desperately searching for it.”
In her keynote, Lauren will take you backstage and behind the scenes of her life and shine a light on the experiences that have helped her create a happier workplace.

Key attendee takeways:
As a freshman at Rutgers University, Lauren Sisler unexpectedly lost both of her parents within hours of each other to their concealed battle with prescription drug addiction. She had a choice to make: hide the story and suffer alone, or use her struggles to help someone walk out of the shadows.
It was only when Lauren started working as a reporter for ESPN more than a decade after the death of both her parents that she started to truly undo the shackles of shame.
“In my job, I find the truth in athletes’ stories and report on how their personal lives shaped who they are. And yet the shame I inherited stopped me from telling the truth about my own story. By facing my trauma, I discovered hope amidst the pain I felt from my parents’ addiction. It has shaped me into who I am.”
Lauren is an avid addiction prevention advocate, dedicated to breaking stigmas and eliminating the shame associated with substance abuse and mental health disorders.
In her keynotes, Lauren takes audiences behind the scenes of her extraordinary journey, and how tragedy ignited purpose and gratitude in her life.
