About Libby

Libby O’Loghlin is a cross-genre author, entrepreneur and community builder. She is a versatile speaker, able to distil broad-ranging topics into considered and inspirational talks that tap into large life themes — what it means to be human, and how we can orient ourselves to a meaningful life during times of great change on the planet.

Libby grew up in various different cultural contexts, including in Australia, Malaysia, the UK, and the USA. She now lives in Zürich, Switzerland.
