Speaker Profile

Gregory is an internationally acclaimed author on B.E.A.U.T.Y., a movie producer and a GREAT storyteller.

He is the author of The Balance of Beauty Explodes the Body Myth, which explodes the myth that beauty is restricted to the physical and has changed people’s visions of themselves and their B.E.A.U.T.Y. across the globe.

During his time in the world of high fashion he was a model, world renowned makeup artist, fashion stylist, and cosmetics range creator.

As part of his commitment to a full life he is a song writer, chef, artist, screen writer, photographer, television producer and jewellery designer.

In short Gregory Landsman is a living testament to our lives being one of endless possibilities… and that with focus and belief you can be and have anything that you want!

As a keynote speaker Gregory is dynamic and powerful. He shares his life story which traces his struggle through body issues, relationships and self judgments to become a celebrated international model and stylist. He went on to recreate himself over and over as an acclaimed author, speaker and movie producer, turning his attention to supporting others to find the success and happiness they have always wanted.

With the same energy that he used to change his life he takes the audience on a journey. He speaks about the process of self belief, overcoming the doubts that get in the way of our ability to conquer challenges and realise our dreams in both our professional and personal lives.

Regaling outrageous and often humorous tales of his life, he talks about the lessons he learnt through:

- The systematic abuse he suffered growing up in South Africa during apartheid;

- His struggle to turn himself from a skinny teenage kid into an international model - working out six times a week, eating twelve eggs, protein powder and a loaf of bread for breakfast and double that amount before each workout;

- His pleasure seeking indulgence while walking the runways of Milan and London;

- Getting fat, out of control and destroying his body through overeating, drugs and alcohol;

- His work with supermodels as one of the world’s most renowned makeup artists and stylists;

- Developing his own philosophy on true B.E.A.U.T.Y. and life (Balance Enthusiasm Acceptance Understanding Trust You);

- Writing his celebrated semi-autobiographical book The Balance of Beauty Explodes the Body Myth and creating the animated art house film, A Lifetime of Beauty for young adults; and

- Developing a series of television segments called ‘Male Cupidity’ - an antidote to the impact of men’s bad relationship behaviour on young women.

Sharing his moments of tragedy, weakness, triumphs and greatness, Gregory Landsman clearly demonstrates that life is not about limitations but endless possibilities, providing we hang onto our dreams.
