“The excitement in the room was obvious.  You did an amazing job of educating and entertaining this huge group!  As a result, we have invited you back to speak at another conference 6 months from now in Atlantic City.   We have never invited a speaker back so quickly as we have with you.”

Margaret O'Neal, Director of Education and Certification

" After seeing you at a conference, Lisa, from our Casper division recommended you when I was organizing our Speaker list.  So glad she did!! The feedback was great. I hope you enjoy reading about the impact you made on our attendees!  Some thought the closing speaker was going to have big shoes to fill to measure up, but Lorna McLaren knocked it out of the park! Very energetic and engaging speaker. Perfect finale. Once again, thank you for joining us in San Antonio. It was such a pleasure to meet you and hear your beautiful message.

“Both of your sessions were excellent – the crowd loved your presentation style, information and interactive exercises.  The most consistent comments were to have you back again and that they had fun.  Certainly when someone can make learning as much fun as you do, I would like to talk to you about next year's conference.

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!”

Mike Perkins, Maintenance Coordinator

“I enjoyed the energy, excellent communication in hitting the points. The preparation was first class. The stories and tips amazing. I was able to take all the instruction/information and find answers I was looking for. This was by far the best all around presentation on leadership, communication and effective problem solving to reduce stress and solve issues on a common or neutral ground”

“Lorna, I sat at the back of the room and yet felt that I had a front row seat. Very real”
