Meet Laura Waldorf Reiss
Laura Waldorf Reiss has built her work at the intersection of human connection and real-world impact. As the founder of Kindness Matters, she has worked across North America, Africa, and internationally, bringing people together, mobilizing communities, and turning simple ideas into meaningful, tangible initiatives.
At the core of what she does is an ability to understand people quickly and accurately. Whether she is working with an individual, a founder, or a group, Laura can step into a situation and see what’s actually happening - beyond the noise, the story, or the overwhelm. She listens closely, organizes what feels scattered, and reflects it back in a way that makes things clear and actionable.
Remember who you are. Then meet your life from there.
Work with Laura
Private sessions
I work directly with individuals to move through what feels unclear or stuck. Together, we make sense of what’s actually happening, so they can move forward with more steadiness and self-trust.
Workshops
On stage, I create experiences where people don’t just hear this work — they feel it in real time. Through live conversation and interaction, I demonstrate what it looks like to come back to yourself and stay there, even in the presence of others.
Mentorship
I work with founders, leaders, and organizations as a strategic partner, offering insight and hands-on support to shape ideas, align people, and move work forward. I help refine what’s being created so it lands in a meaningful and effective way.
KindnessRemembering
From a childhood rooted in warmth and generosity to navigating challenges like dyslexia, loneliness, and personal transformation, this talk is a powerful reminder that kindness isn’t something we learn. It’s something we return to. Through real life stories and science backed insights, she shares how small, intentional acts of compassion can shift our perspective, regulate our nervous system, and create meaningful connection in our everyday lives. This isn’t about grand gestures. It’s about the quiet choices we make, moment by moment, that shape how we show up for others and for ourselves.
