What people say
“Lauren’s credible, refreshing and engaging style made an immediate positive impression on the group. Great ice-breakers and a seamless series of fun and supportive activities to encourage the group to mix, remix, encourage empathy, share and work together differently. Playful, without being foolish. This was all achieved in less than three hours, with minimal set-up and left participants keen for more and feeling very energised.
I’d highly recommend Lauren to help you facilitate a wellbeing and team working event with an existing team or to get a more disparate group working together effectively.”
Kate McGhee
Managing Director at emBold London
“Our team felt energized and positive for the week ahead”
Aran Potkin, Brand consultancy Managing partner
“It was such a pleasure to have Lauren come and lead a workshop at Career Curious. When bringing together a group of women to network, it’s fairly easy to get people talking, but less easy to get them to deeply engage with one another. Lauren had us singing together and laughing riotously whilst also practicing important creative skills. We’d definitely invite her back and would recommend her workshops to anyone looking to get a team working together well and exploring their creativity more openly.”
Liz Seabrook
Co-Founder, Career Curious
“Lauren was devoted to the success of the event. Her engaging, cheerful manner and the quality of her work impressed. She was a pleasure to work with and enthusiastic from start to finish”
Alice Beagley, Museum Events Organiser
