Speaking Engagements & Workshops

Business partners, best friends, and co-authors of The Boss of You, a groundbreaking guidebook for independent-minded female entrepreneurs, Lauren Bacon and Emira Mears offer an uncommon blend of down-to-earth advice, intelligence, good humour, creativity, and style. They are available for a variety of speaking engagements, from keynotes to interactive workshops.

These two dynamic young women are the co-founders of Raised Eyebrow Web Studio, Inc., a Vancouver-based, five-person company specializing in online strategy, design and development for nonprofits, government and progressive businesses. They are known for their commitment to open and honest communication—in fact, they believe that's what the web is all about. (Yes, they’re idealists at heart, but the most practical kind.) Raised Eyebrow’s work is defined by collaborative process, user-focused design, thoughtful planning and thorough attention to detail.
