Lauren’s passion for her subject matter is infectious. The energy radiates to her audiences and fuels their enthusiasm to not just learn from her insights but explore, investigate and get curious about the reasoning behind their connection with the subject matter. This awesome skill that blends the science of the brain with the finesse of a learning expert makes every opportunity to engage something not to be missed. I’ve been part of a mesmerized audience at the Change Management Global conference in person and seen her masterfully navigate a virtual delivery of techniques, tips and goal setting for change professionals. Always work a resounding YARR!”

I wanted to reach out and say THANK YOU for your talk, for being generally captivating, engaging, hilarious and surprising! You know us uni academic folks are a seriously tough crowd but you got us on our feet, shook us up, made us laugh and helped us learn and be aware of how our students learn and it was so excellent! I’ve had colleagues say how they loved your talk, how it reminded them of what a skilled performer, a truly great teacher /lecturer really brings to engagement. I’ve had colleagues say “shit, I heard it was excellent and I’m disappointed I missed her” and I’ve had colleagues say “wow, she really messed with us but this is going to stick with me!”. Bravo, you won hearts and minds (brains?!) and I’m so glad we got to meet in real life.
