Speaking & Engagements
Conversations that shift how people think, lead, and build.
Ayerim Maduro Lacle sits at a rare intersection: 20+ years of award-winning destination marketing strategy, and a deeply personal philosophy about how we design our lives and lead with purpose.
The Happiness Series
All talks available as keynotes, workshops, or panel contributions.
She doesn’t claim to have it all figured out. She’s building it, the same as you. What she brings to the stage is the framework she’s developed along the way, shaped by two cultures, a career in one of the world’s most demanding industries, and a belief that happiness is something you design daily, not something you arrive at. Each engagement is designed to meet people where they are, while expanding how they think, lead, and build. Ayerim brings a thoughtful approach, bridging personal growth, leadership, and tourism strategy with real-world application.
Clarity & Leadership
What If Happiness Were the Strategy?
For: Women in leadership • Professionals • Corporate events
Women don’t stumble upon their lives; they architect them. But sometimes the blueprint gets handed to us before we’ve had a chance to draw it ourselves. This talk explores what it looks like to rewrite the plan, and why leading with joy isn’t soft, it’s strategic.

Tourism as a Force for Community
For: Tourism boards • DMOs • Economic development agencies • Municipal governments

Drawing on 20+ years of work, Ayerim shares what it takes to build a destination that serves both its visitors and its residents.
Format: 45–60 min keynote / 90 min workshop
