The Visionary Behind the Movement

She Has Been In The Room. That Is The Difference.

Leadership isn't studied in a book; it's forged in the fire of high-stakes environments. ConvoPlay is the manifestation of decades spent navigating the corridors of power.

Why She Built This

After observing the repetitive patterns of executive isolation, Laya realized that professional women lacked a playground for their intellect. A place where "courageous conversation" wasn't a buzzword, but a survival skill.

ConvoPlay was born to bridge the gap between high-performance results and the soul-work required to maintain them.

The Philosophy
"True leadership requires the bravery to be vulnerable in the presence of peers. We operate at the intersection of intellectual rigor and emotional intelligence."
