Testimonials

“As an owner of a rapidly growing women's apparel manufacturer, Lauren has helped me handle many new and challenging issues with ease and confidence when I felt at a loss as to what the right approach should be. I have become so much more aware of my goals and how to achieve them.  I'm more focused and less worried about my ability to manage people effectively to achieve these goals as we continue to grow.”

Owner, Habitat, Clothes to Live In

“After just one session with Lauren I was able to see more clearly what my life priorities are and how to spend the time engaging in them.  I was also able to see where I was spending time spinning my wheels on things that weren’t all that important to me at this point in my life.  Lauren’s positive, engaging and intuitive approach to asking the right questions was key in helping me to confidently move forward knowing I was putting first things first.”
