“Lauren is the ideal parter to work with - not only is she an expert facilitator, but she takes the time to deeply understand the needs of the organization and the audience, and she adapts all the content to be highly relevant and insightful for each cohort at every level of experience and tenure. As a program owner, I always feel full confidence that Lauren will be able to absorb all the context and nuance and incorporate it into the content - she’s a true expert and I’ve learned so much in working with her!”

“Lauren's facilitation was amazing. I was engaged from beginning to end which was surprising since it was a full day spent on Zoom.”
- HR Leader, Graham Holdings
“Lauren has been facilitating leadership workshops for our company for two years, and has massively exceeded our high expectations. She is able to leverage her incredible intuition, deep listening skills and strong content expertise to create a safe and fun learning environment that is also extending beyond the classroom - not an easy thing to do! Her ability to build trusted relationships with a wide variety of people from artists to engineers, new managers to seasoned leaders, introverts to extroverts, etc - is remarkable. Her approach has also had a meaningful impact on results - for example, participants highly rated the relevancy of their course material to classroom skills like strategic thinking and building inclusive teams. We have never seen so many 5-star reviews!”
- Paige Harazin-Masi, Head of Studio Operations, and Kenda Bussing, Head of People Operations, Pocket Gems
“First, Lauren Laitin was a phenomenal facilitator. We had MANY days when externalities could distract (election week, acquisition rumors) and she did a great job of acknowledging what we were bringing into the workshop, while focusing us on the work. I also appreciated her honesty and openness. The best part of this program was the impact. I see it in a few ways: 1. Teeing up concepts and questions with just enough structure to drive conversation, but not too much rigidity to enable organic, free flowing exploration. 2. Building on concepts workshop after workshop, giving space to apply what was learned, then connect it to new concepts. 3. Encouragement outside of the workshop.I feel like a better leader and feel more connected to my senior leadership cohort because of this experience. “

- Michael, Director of Engineering and Product Management, Chime
“Lauren knows her stuff. She's clear, concise, consistent - I found her solutions-oriented approach insightful and I was about to utilize our work together immediately. I also appreciate that Lauren is able to cover a lot of ground substantively in a way that doesn't feel rushed.”
