This week on Talks with Dr Shafer meet Special Guest, the Philanthtrotainer and Keynote Speaker, Layne! Layne, also known as the Auctionista, shares their journey of pivoting from a successful financial advisor in Canada to becoming an auctionista, and how they had to challenge the status quo in the Auctioneer world to get to where they are now. They describe attending a charity gala and being intrigued by the auctioneer's role, which led them to pursue a career in auctioneering. Layne faced challenges in a male-dominated industry but stayed true to themselves and developed their own unique style as an auctioneer. They emphasize the importance of entertainment and connection in their work and the impact they have on fundraising events. Layne also discusses the discrimination and microaggressions they have faced as a non-binary individual and their commitment to promoting diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. Layne, a philanthrotainer and activist, shares their journey of overcoming trauma and finding purpose in philanthropy. They discuss their transition from being an auctioneer to becoming a keynote speaker and educator, focusing on diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. Layne emphasizes the importance of authenticity, vulnerability, and play in creating a fulfilling life. They also highlight the significance of representation and the power of storytelling in creating empathy and understanding. Layne's mission is to create a more inclusive and kind world.
