Lorna in Zoom meeting

We were blown away

. . . by Lorna McLaren when we brought her in to speak at our event at the hospital. Never laughed or learned so much!  She was spot on in knowing the stress we go through and provided so many tips. Everyone loved her humor, energy, and ability to engage and inspire. Elated with the positive responses from our staff!

What clients are saying

"The committees met in late October and compiled lists of topic and speaker suggestions for me to assemble into a complete seminar program. One of the encore speakers included on that list was … Lorna McLaren who ranked in the top 10 speaker list for both her sessions! And two top 10 performances are even more impressive when noted that there were 189 speaker sessions on that list!!”

Dynamic, entertaining, everyone was fully engaged the entire time! A few of us needed to go to the bathroom but chose to stay as we didn't want to miss a thing. Never been as riveted by a conference speaker as we were with Lorna McLaren. We invited her back 3 more times to speak at our Annual Judicial Case Managers Conference.

What participants are saying

Maureen Regan, Economist

“The Conference was a truly empowering experience for me and I gained many new skills. These included; how to more effectively communicate with my boss and how to keep my boss updated on the current state of play. The communication skills were especially useful and productive and I am still using the skills I learned from Lorna. I especially liked Lorna McLaren’s teaching methods. She gave so much information which we were able to absorb because it was delivered in a very humorous way. Her manner was so caring and comfortable and she also came across as a total professional! This is a winning combination. Her mastery of the material was truly impressive!”

“With only 2 hours sleep with the flu/cold, Lorna kept me awake with her enthusiastic approach. Excellent examples that I can relate to. I have taken with me more than I thought I would come out with. Thanks.”

“Really opened my eyes to understanding people that I think or assume might have a conflict with me when actually I might have been taking it personally. Lots of great tools and tips”

“I want to state my deep appreciation for the tremendous positive impact you and your course had on my day to day activities this year. Thank you!!!

You kick started my quest for growth. I used to consider myself very much as a bit of a visionary, until I got too comfortable – and the growing stopped. I did ok, but it was not good enough. Once again, through your presentation, I realized I can and must do better. This is what I am grateful to you for. Thank you”
