“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.

"The group was so engaged. Lots of amazing feedback from everyone who attended. Many said it was the best session they have attended so far!  Thank you for your agility and willingness when you had to change your plans on the fly today! I think it worked very well"

"Thanks again for the informative course. (I gave the example of helping workers with personal issues.) You provided an enthusiastic, informative and knowledgeable course which I was fortunate to be apart of and learned a lot."

“Thank you so much for the life changing course that you did this past Monday in Vancouver! Boy, are you extraordinaire! Three days later I am still “under the influence” of what we had a chance to hear and learn. I had a chance to read some of the “Testimonials” on your web page and they pale compared to the “Real Life” experience. We would like to have you as a guest speaker for our Vancouver chapter.

“An excellent workshop. Lorna is a great presenter, very ‘practiced?’ and held my attention throughout the 2 day seminar. Her use of appropriate examples to illustrate her points created lots of “Aha’ moments!! Now I understand why some team members act the way they do!!”

"I now have some practical tips on how to organize myself & my time. Lorna, the trainer, was excellent”

"I enjoyed learning different strategies for controlling emotions and diffusing situations. Your examples for wording sentences allowed me to know the difference between making someone feel attacked vs engaged and a part of the solution”
