Senior Executive, Ackermans –
I have had the privilege of working with Lauren in her capacity as an executive coach. With Lauren’s guidance I have been able to not only explore the concept of leadership and what it means to me but also how it practically applies to my current role. As a result of engaging with Lauren I have become increasingly aware of the critical role leadership plays in the success of an organisation. It has challenged me to become more intentional about my leadership behaviour as well as the importance of developing others’ leadership skills. This was all skilfully done against the backdrop of my Insights profile as well as Heartstyles indicator. In short Lauren has been fantastic at facilitating my personal development journey.
Group Head, Ooba Group –
I have worked with Lauren over many years on several projects and consider her to be one of my closest and most valuable partners. Lauren is professional, easy to work with and never fails to deliver to brief. Without exception, she has produced high praise from those she has worked with in the organisation. Her versatility and proficiency is remarkable and has been demonstrated in wide-ranging projects, including facilitation, skills development, performance management, psychometric assessments and executive coaching. I would have no hesitation recommending Lauren to anyone who needs a competent, dedicated partner to help them succeed.
