Audiences walk away with powerful self-awareness, clarity of purpose, and the courage to lead with authenticity and impact. They reconnect with their values, identity, and vision and leave, not just inspired, but activated to live and lead ON purpose.

About Petra Laranjo:

Petra Laranjo’s work is shaped by one core belief: leadership is most effective when it is rooted in self-awareness and lived with intention.

She began her career in fashion and entertainment, where her work focused on personal branding and external image. Over time, this approach began to feel uninspiring. Petra noticed that the most meaningful and lasting changes in her clients’ confidence and leadership presence came from deeper shifts in identity, values, and self-worth. This realisation marked her transition from image consultant to transformational strategist, grounded in the belief that high performance without alignment often leads to burnout, while the most magnetic leaders are those who know who they are, what they stand for, and how they choose to show up.

With nearly two decades of experience, Petra works with corporates and individuals across industries to connect purpose with performance. Her approach blends strategy, emotional intelligence, and her ON Purpose Framework, which integrates Body, Mind, BEing, and Business. Her work doesn’t just motivate, it creates movement—supporting leaders to build clarity, adaptability, and sustainable performance in fast-changing environments.

From the boardroom to the stage, Petra’s presence is energising, her delivery impactful, and her insights immediately actionable. Her mission is to help people lead from alignment, create lives that inspire them, and build a legacy of impact, both personally and professionally. She is also a passionate social impact advocate and the founder of a global “do good” movement.
