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!!”

Michelle Gaston, Director Professional Development

OFA Short Course, Columbus, Ohio

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.

I've worked with Lorna over 5 years in multiple countries in front of thousands of people. Wherever she went, she captivated her audience. I can confidently recommend her as the go-to expert in better communication and less stress.
