Love Isn’t Enough: Why Real Relationships Are Built Like Businesses

In business, no one would dream of running a company on passion alone—yet too often, we try to run our relationships that way. In this keynote, Mistress Audry Lu Black—relationship strategist, educator, and yes, a dominatrix—draws bold parallels between startup leadership and long-term partnership. She reveals why emotion without infrastructure leads to burnout, how “negotiated intimacy equity” mirrors sweat equity, and why recognizing invisible labor is as vital at home as it is in the workplace. With humor, clarity, and actionable strategy, she shows leaders how building relationships with the same rigor as businesses creates stronger teams, partnerships, and lives.

Owning Forbidden Desires: Person-Centering Taboos

Taboo isn’t just what happens behind closed doors—it’s the story every culture tells about where the lines are and who’s allowed to cross them. Leaders face the same terrain every day: navigating risk, managing trust, and balancing freedom with structure. In this keynote, we’ll use five dimensions of taboo—from the messy to the mysterious—as a surprisingly useful framework for rethinking boundaries, ethics, and agency. Expect insight with a wink: because learning to manage what feels “forbidden” just might make you a braver, sharper, more effective leader.

Lust, Love, and Lies: The Overlooked Business Risk of Online Romance Scams

Romance scams and sextortion are no longer just consumer fraud—they are a fast-growing corporate security threat. In an era of hybrid work and blurred personal-professional boundaries, emotionally compromised employees can open doors to credential leaks, data loss, and reputational damage. This keynote reveals how digital seduction cons exploit loneliness and trust the same way phishing exploits curiosity, and why leaders must see emotional safety as part of digital hygiene. Attendees will leave with practical strategies to protect their workforce, their data, and their bottom line.

What Are the Rules, and Who Makes Them?

Every workplace is built on rules—some written in policy, some whispered in culture, and some enforced only when someone dares to break them. The real question isn’t just what the rules are, but who gets to decide them—and whether consent, equity, and dignity are truly part of the equation. In this keynote, Mistress Lu dismantles the myth that respect means obedience and shows how invisible labor, unspoken expectations, and unchecked entitlement quietly drain performance and loyalty. Expect a bold, challenging conversation that equips leaders to renegotiate their corporate “social contracts” with clarity, courage, and respect that actually means something.

The Business Case for Autonomy: Why It’s Time to Rethink Sex Work

The global economy celebrates gig workers, creators, and entrepreneurs—yet continues to criminalize one of the oldest forms of labor: sex work. In this keynote, [Your Name] makes the case that decriminalization isn’t a moral debate but a business imperative, unlocking safer markets, tax revenue, and regulatory clarity. Drawing on global examples, we’ll explore how outdated policies fuel shadow economies, increase risk, and waste resources. The takeaway is simple: in an era built on autonomy and innovation, protecting the right to choose your labor is not just ethical—it’s smart business.

“Mistress brings together real-world BDSM experiences (her own and others’) with wide-ranging and deeply detailed reference to philosophy and psychology to provide a complex account of what leads us to these desires. By treating these urges and activities with the seriousness they deserve, she gives the reader insight into what drives their bedroom predilections, and offers a clear perspective on how those interests reflect (and can influence) our everyday personalities.”
