“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

Pennsylvania Landscape & Nursery Association, USA

" 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.

“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.”

Cyndi Gullion, Estates Officer

“I dreaded coming to this seminar only grateful that I attended! Lorna, you gave me a lot to think about with work and personal life on how to deal with situations. You got to the point with everything you talked about. Helped me understand everything clearly."

Mandy Parker, Product Manager

“Lorna is an excellent program leader – her examples gave me goosebumps & inspired me. Although I feel demoralized and demotivated at work, she helped me to realize/remember “there is no problem you can’t learn yourself out of” & when there’s a problem you can either focus on it or look for an opportunity”

“All the way through my mind connected with situations in my personal and professional life. Lorna is the best workshop and facilitator I have ever enjoyed.”

Linsea O’Shea, Executive Assistant

“Lorna is fabulous, engaging and brilliant! I never thought I would come to laugh about my challenges and difficulties and get a quick and workable tip the very next second”
