Lauren's Testimonials

The perfect speaker for any occasion! Lauren joined a virtual EOY celebration with a client of ours, and they're still talking about her two weeks later. Her openness and energy were the perfect way to close out the year, and I'd recommend her for any and all speaking engagements. Seeing an Olympic medal didn't hurt either :)

Lead Account Executive at LinkedIn
Lauren was a guest speaker at our corporate event and she connected with the audience tremendously, especially considering it was a video call over Zoom. She was candid, honest, engaging, and funny which kept the whole group entertained and left us inspired. It was a pleasure coordinating with her through the whole process. She spoke with me personally ahead of time to ensure she understood the group and purpose of her being there. I’d work with Lauren again without hesitation.

Last week, Lauren was one of the three Keynote Speakers at the 10th annual Central Coast Business Symposium. From my opinion, she was by far the best speaker of the day. Her enthusiasm, her humor, and her stories touched all of us. Personally and professionally I was inspired by her message. Any group or audience would be blessed to have Lauren as their keynote.
