Speaking | Tayla André | Keynotes, Moderation & Conversations That Move People
Speaking • Moderation • Facilitation

I am not coming to your stage to say a bunch of pretty shit nobody remembers tomorrow.

I talk about money. Home. Family. Business. Leadership. Parenting. Community. And the decisions we make today that somebody else will have to live with tomorrow.

Give me the room. I will give them something to think about on the ride home.

Watch Tayla

A conversation is only good when somebody knows how to move it.

Tayla moderating a live conversation with Wall Street Trapper and Rashad Bilal of Earn Your Leisure around financial literacy, money and wealth building.

Good moderation is not reading questions off a card. It is listening closely enough to know what question needs to come next.
What Tayla Brings

Different room. Different job. Same Tayla.

01

Keynotes

Strong point of view, real stories, practical ideas and a clear takeaway your audience can actually use.

02

Moderation

Panels, fireside chats and live conversations that sound like people talking, not four biographies sitting beside each other.

03

Workshops

Longer-form sessions where audiences can learn, question, process and leave with next steps.

04

Hosting

Event flow, audience energy, transitions and enough personality to keep the room from feeling like somebody's mandatory staff meeting.

Signature Conversations

We can talk about the money. But we are also going to talk about the people.

Tayla's strongest conversations sit where real estate, money, family, entrepreneurship, culture and actual life collide.

Finally, Home

A homeownership conversation based on the work behind Finally, Home: The Asset Edition. Not just how to get keys, but how to understand what you bought.

  • Homebuyer preparation
  • Equity and ownership
  • What people misunderstand about buying
  • Building knowledge after closing

First Generation Everything

What does it feel like to build wealth when nobody handed you the blueprint, the vocabulary or the safety net?

  • Building without inherited instructions
  • Navigating money shame and financial confidence
  • Creating new family norms
  • Becoming the bridge without becoming everybody's bank

Build The Business Without Losing Yourself

Entrepreneurship looks very different when you are also raising children, paying bills, being the decision maker and trying to build something that survives you.

  • Solopreneur reality
  • Building systems before burnout
  • Money versus revenue
  • Protecting time, energy and purpose

Housing, Wealth & The Real World

A candid conversation about housing affordability, homeownership, community, generational wealth and what policy discussions look like when they meet actual families.

  • Housing affordability
  • Barriers to ownership
  • Community wealth
  • Translating policy into lived experience
Parenting • Family • Legacy

We inherit more than money.

Tayla also speaks about parenting, family patterns and the things adults carry from the homes that raised them.

These conversations are not therapy and they are not presented as clinical treatment. They are honest, culturally grounded conversations about what we learned, what we repeat and what we have the opportunity to do differently.

“Healing how we were parented, and how we parent.” A conversation about family patterns, parenting and what the next generation experiences because we chose to look at what came before us.
What Audiences Leave With

Inspiration is nice. Useful is better.

01 A clearer question
02 New language for the problem
03 Something practical to do next
04 A conversation worth continuing
05 A reason to think differently

Tayla André speaker and moderator
Why Tayla

Because I actually live the conversations.

I am a real estate professional. An author. A business owner. A mother. A media personality. An event producer. A moderator. A community-facing person who has had to explain complicated things to regular people for years.

I do not need to pretend every room is a lecture hall. Sometimes people need information. Sometimes they need a story. Sometimes they need somebody willing to ask the question everybody else was trying to politely dance around.
