Overview

I help people find their voice and lead from who they already are, whether that's a teenager figuring out their future or an executive steering a team through pressure. I'm a keynote speaker and coach who's worked with global brands like Google, Meta, and Mastercard, and with young audiences just starting to write their story. My talk, Emerge Strong, comes from real stakes: I came up through circumstances most people don't walk back from, and I turned that into a framework for resilience, identity, and follow-through. I don't just inspire the room. I hand them something they can actually use. Let's build something your audience won't forget.

About

At 21, Kes LaGuerre was sentenced to seven years in prison. By his own account, the hardest part wasn't the time, it was confronting the identity that had gotten him there.

What followed was a two-decade journey of rebuilding from the inside out. Today, Kes is a globally recognized coach, trainer, and speaker who has worked with leaders and teams at some of the world's most demanding organizations.

His work is grounded in a simple but powerful truth: sustainable transformation doesn't begin with new habits or new goals. It begins with a new identity. The framework he developed, tested through his own life and refined across hundreds of 1:1 coaching engagements, gives people the language and tools to actually make that shift.

He is also the author of two books and the creator of two personal development courses. His coaching clients include executives, entrepreneurs, and high-performers who are outwardly succeeding but internally know something needs to change.
