Introduction
Zsófia Lakatos
Zsófia is a compelling speaker who captivates her audience from the very first word to the last, while delivering valuable knowledge, provoking deep thoughts, and inspiring.
I’m Zsófia Lakatos: author, motivational speaker, and a well-known communications expert. As a consultant, over the past twenty-five years I have gained insight into numerous multinational companies as well as Hungarian enterprises. In every case, their success depended on how effective and committed their leaders and employees were. Achieving strong performance requires mental well-being, workplace satisfaction, and a balanced life. As a motivational speaker, my core focus is mental health and the individual behind success or failure.
I am the former President and Member Emeritus of the Hungarian Public Relations Association, as well as the founder and Managing Director of the Emerald PR Agency. I regularly speak at national and international professional conferences, serve as a jury member in competitions, publish extensively, and lecture at several universities. In 2013, my professional book on sustainability was published in London, and I was the first in Hungary to receive the Sustainability Ambassador Award. I serve on the boards and committees of several civil and professional organizations. My latest book, “Live Your Dream”, was published in November 2024. The book explores conscious creation—how we can influence our lives through our thoughts, both in business and in our personal lives.
TOPICS
Behind both success and failure stands the same person.
The Person Behind Success
Work life and private life cannot be separated, because we are human beings, not machines. If someone is not well—physically or mentally—they will not perform well at work either. If we strip away position, professional background, education, and networks, what ultimately remains is the HUMAN BEING. Someone whose success or failure depends on their inner well-being — or as I put it, whether they are able to “climb the stone wall.” This talk is about how we can climb that particular stone wall—the place from which we can see the landscape, where success begins.
Live Your Dream!
We need to stop pointing fingers at others when things don’t work out and blaming circumstances for our unhappiness. Because the truth is - and this is not easy to accept - that in most cases, it depends solely on us what we make of our lives. On the one hand, it depends on how much energy we invest in bringing our plans to life; on the other, on whether we sabotage our own success with our thoughts. The key to truly achieving what we dream of is conscious creation, also known as manifestation. The future is not set in stone, and everyone is capable of creating with their thoughts — they simply need to learn how to do it.
Consciously
To be conscious means that I am in control of my life, that I decide my own fate. Yet most people are not truly in control of their lives; instead, they are influenced and directed by others. This talk explores who influences and manipulates us, how they do it, and how we, in turn, influence and manipulate others. The secrets of communication—presented in a clear and engaging, even humorous way.
The Power of a Woman
As women grow older, they also grow wiser. They embody an increasing strength, a kind of power that can feel intimidating. This is why society often pressures women into the expectation of eternal youth. It takes great courage to embrace aging and to accept all the gifts that come with it. This talk is primarily for women and focuses on what we can do to make it easier to embrace change and to live our lives in ways we may not have been able to before.
