Lori’s been a leadership and organizational development leader for over two decades. And helps individuals, teams, and entire organizations solve for problems that impact productivity, relationships, and the bottom line.

With nearly a dozen licenses and certifications, she’s that rare combination of EQ and IQ…a deep, curious listener…who listens for what’s said—and what’s left unsaid. Who notices blind spots and shifts in body language that can elude everyone else. All so that the entirety of a person and a problem can be engaged in the desired transformation.
