Regan Birr – Speaker, Entrepreneur & Catalyst for Purpose-Driven Success

Regan is an award-winning entrepreneur and nonprofit founder who inspires audiences to lead with resilience, creativity, and purpose. Known for her dynamic energy and real-world insight, she helps individuals and organizations turn challenges into momentum and impact.

A powerful voice for strategy, actionable tools, and human connection, Regan draws from her own personal

experience: diagnosed with systemic lupus at a young age, she spent 2.5 years on chemotherapy fighting for her life. Rather than retreat, she made a decision to take action, and co-founded the Lupus Research Foundation, which is driving breakthroughs in lupus treatment through cutting-edge research.

Regan holds a degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Saskatchewan. When she was faced with her diagnosis, she pivoted and became a patent agent. After 11 years, Regan assumed the role of inventor herself when she designed a low-torque fitness program for people with challenges. She hosts “Regan MOVES” on TV and online.

Regan has presented for Fortune 500 companies, healthcare systems, and universities across the U.S. and Canada. Her ideas have been embraced by leaders who want more than motivation—they want results.

Empower: Elevate Your Leadership

You can create your own reality for happiness and health in life and in work. Leadership starts with you. When we inspire others to do the same, we create a powerful, positive loop. By strengthening our own power, we bring our best selves to others. This strengthens teams. The cycle has to start somewhere, and the best way to start is to lead by example.

We all go through challenges. I talk about the strength of the human spirit, and how kindness, grace, and generosity of others can truly impact a life. My journey battling a life-threatening illness revealed simple truths that can bring out the best leaders possible within us. It starts with you – empower your life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:
Great leaders know that leadership starts from within. Master your energy before you lead others, and clarity and resilience will fuel your decisions. By adopting simple, effective habits, you can prevent burnout for yourself & your team.

Empower: Strengthen Your Team

High-performing teams don’t happen by accident—they’re built with intention. Drawing on my experience competing at the national level in curling alongside my husband Todd, as well as leading two organizations from the ground up, I’ll share the secrets to creating team trust, defining clear roles, and building a culture that thrives under pressure. Whether you’re in the boardroom, the lab, or on the ice, the lessons are the same: the best teammates are those who know themselves and are committed to learning how to listen and respond to what others need.

We all need awesome teammates - the best way to become one is to first be a great teammate to yourself—to understand your strengths, communicate clearly, and resolve to be helpful.

Trust is the foundation of every high-performing team. Learn to define roles to inspire confidence and ownership, & build a culture that drives collaboration, peak performance, & shared victories!
