Speaking & Workshops

Raw. Real. Transformational.

Louis Byrne is not a polished motivational speaker — he’s lived it.
From a working-class council estate marked by trauma and addiction, to becoming an award-winning celebrity hairstylist, queer activist, and founder of I Can, I Am, and I Will, Louis brings a voice that is unfiltered, funny, vulnerable, and deeply human.

His talks are grounded in lived experience, backed by science and social impact, and delivered with the energy of someone who has stood on both the runways of Dior and the frontlines of survival.

When Louis speaks, people don’t just listen — they feel it.

Signature Talk: I Can, I Am, and I Will

Louis’s keynote cuts through the noise with a simple but profound idea: Broken doesn’t mean finished. Creativity and reflection can rebuild identity.

Audiences are taken on a journey — from childhood chaos to mirror moments of change, from the craft of hair as identity, to the creation of the Reset Journal now empowering young people across the UK.

It’s raw, it’s funny, it’s hard-hitting, and it leaves audiences with a mantra they’ll never forget:
I Can. I Am. I Will.
