Reviews

There aren’t enough superlatives in the English language to describe how amazing Lori is! Her sparkle, energy, humorous stories, and outgoing personality engaged the entire audience of activity advisers, administrators, teachers, and student council executive directors. When she presented at our Student Council Adviser’s Conference, she tailored her message to exactly what our advisers needed. Her message during a very difficult time was timely, funny and inspirational. Her ability to interact with students drew them to her warm personality and her uplifting message. Lori’s ability to adapt her message to any audience makes her an ideal speaker for any event. Vicki Carstens – Iowa Association of Student Councils

Lori CRUSHED it! She was perfect for the first night of our virtual CADA conference! Lori has spoken to both our adult educator leaders and our student leaders at virtual events. She is so dynamic and motivating as she gets everybody fired up online. I am amazed and in awe of how she is able to inspire others to make a difference. I am proud to be a soldier in her Army of Leaders. Ron Ippolito – President – California Association of Directors of Activities

Our school had the pleasure of working with Lori as we began to groom and grow our leadership. The topics ranged from Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, to student voice. It was a pleasure to see how empowering Lori is with students. I wholeheartedly recommend the process. I wholeheartedly recommend the person beyond the business. This is a business of people and relationships. Lori has the passion and the energy to groom, grow and empower our young people to be all they can be and more.
