Lauran Star

Dr. Lauran Star is an organizational psychologist, forensic cultural behaviorist, best-selling author, and unapologetic disruptor challenging the outdated beliefs shaping today's workplaces and society.

Known for saying what many are thinking but few are willing to say, Dr. Star cuts through corporate theater, leadership performance, and cultural noise to expose the human behaviors, broken systems, and uncomfortable truths driving how we work, lead, and interact.

With expertise in organizational psychology, leadership, workplace culture, and human behavior, she brings an evidence-based lens to the conversations most organizations avoid — from accountability and trust to power, change, and the collision between societal trends and workplace realities.

As the author of *See Dick Throw a Hissy Fit*, Dr. Star takes on the behaviors, excuses, and contradictions that keep individuals and organizations stuck. With sharp insight, humor, and a willingness to challenge conventional wisdom, she pushes people beyond surface-level conversations and into the deeper questions:

Why do we accept what clearly isn't working?
What behaviors are we rewarding?
And what cultures are we creating by staying silent?

Through her books, speaking, consulting, and Culture Shock™ podcast, Dr. Star doesn't tell people what to think — she challenges them to think differently.

Because the culture we complain about tomorrow is often the culture we tolerate today.
