Executive coaching + consulting

Years of self-development work never did as much as the short time we spent together.”

Speaking Engagements
I’ve been invited to discuss my leadership ideas with Chairs and Managing Partners of preeminent global law firms, and with Chief Legal Officers and General Counsels of major corporations.
I present at meetings, retreats, offsites and other gatherings such as client events. Audiences have included leadership teams, partners, legal departments, affinity/inclusion groups, law firm clients, and more.
To hear samples of my public presentations: check out “The Secret Ingredient to Leadership Shared by an Executive Coach” (Am Law 200 law firm invited me to discuss leadership on its podcast) and “When is ‘Good,’ Good ENOUGH? Overcoming Perfectionism” (ADHD pioneer, NYT bestselling author and former Harvard Medical School professor Edward (Ned) Hallowell, M.D., invited me to discuss the relationship among leadership, excellence and perfectionism on his podcast).
“Lawyers at all levels have been asking for more of Lauren’s inspiring leadership stories”

How My Clients Skyrocket Into Leadership
I help leaders realize both their value and their values. My clients usually surpass their professional goals, and what surprises them even more is the enhanced personal fulfillment, happiness and “inner calm” they feel. (Yes, I am talking about lawyers…) Their results inspire others, creating a ripple effect throughout their organization.
I am the phone call worth making for busy Talent and Professional Development (PD) teams. Because I am independent, I can customize an approach specifically tailored to the needs of your organization. My clients report better-trained and better-mentored talent in their leadership pipelines, and loyal people with a greater sense of community, emotional investment and trust in another.
I offer the above with diplomacy and humor. To help you get comfortable with hard conversations, we use the many negotiation and mediation skills I honed in business school and as a litigator. I also offer to share my own hard-won wisdom: the mistakes I have witnessed could fill a book… and they more or less do! (I share my learnings freely in my Fully Human Lawyer™ columns and in my other writings and speaking engagements.)
My clients say they
value my:
- Personal leadership and bold creative ideas
- Perspective as a top-producing business developer
- Discretion and fierce integrity
- Humor, candor, authenticity, and warmth
- Cost-effectiveness and efficiency – a great return on investment and worth every dime
