EVENTS & KEYNOTES

As a proud queer First Nations woman and Founder of StartUp Creative, Kaylene Langford defies many of the labels she wears: effective business coach, inspirational speaker, engaging facilitator and informative educator. She’s known and respected internationally for the skillful way she weaves evidence-based frameworks with powerful storytelling to impart valuable insights and practical advice that’s immediately actionable.

Unashamedly authentic, Kay’s forthright, uniquely Australian approach sets her apart from other coaches, educators and motivational speakers. Part university professor, part mindfulness meditation teacher, part ‘cooler older sister’, this is what gives her special blend of business advice a unique flavour. Listening to Kay speak is both a masterclass in information simplicity and a nourishing guided meditation.

She’s someone who walks her talk, too, mentoring 500+ individuals and countless groups, developing robust educational programs and coordinating best practice startup accelerator programs. Kay’s partners include META, Screen Australia, General Assembly, Squarespace, Creative Mornings and Square, as well as key educational institutions, like the Spark Deakin University Accelerator Program and Refinery Creative Accelerator.

She’s also a prolific creator with an enviable portfolio: the StartUp Creative podcast, a top 200 business podcast on Apple Podcasts; countless self-published and guest blogs; the StartUp Creative magazine, stocked in Virgin Australia Lounges since 2014; and a debut book, “How to Start a Side Hustle”, which captures her extensive knowledge and experience in helping people realise their potential while achieving personal, professional and financial abundance.

Today, StartUp Creative has become the go-to source for practical business advice for more than 100,000 creatives and entrepreneurs around the world. This makes Kay uniquely qualified to inspire and motivate anyone who has the dream of turning their side hustle into a viable, lucrative business, all while remaining true to yourself. And the best part? She’s just getting started.
