I’m Lauren Ungeldi

I’m an author and narrative architect who’s helped world leaders and icons turn vision into story and story into movement. My two professional loves are books and business — writing stories that move people, and building movements that redefine how we create and lead.

I’ve written for those shaping the world we live in — and now I’m helping a new generation of creators shape what comes next.
