Success Stories

Angela Sebastian, Strategic Advisor & Past CEO

LP | Levenfeld Pearlstein, LLC

“Working with our Executive Team, Lori has given us a common language and construct for collaboration that is really valuable in meeting our challenges...how we appreciate each other's strengths instead of criticizing people who are not like us.

There's huge value for the team, but there's arguably even more value at the individual coaching level where people get to ask personal questions. It's one thing to know it and see the insights all mapped out, but it's a whole new level to actually work with someone one-on-one through the experience of those differences...that's the good stuff! That's where Lori's greatest value has been to date."

Moises Norena, Head of Product & Innovation

Mitek (Former: VP of Innovation, Moen, Inc.)

"Planning an offsite for my team, I knew from our previous work together that Lori could help us collaborate more effectively. She helped us integrate a new member into the team, giving us all the opportunity to talk through our own challenges, our interactions with each other, and understand how our strengths and blind spots map to our current results.

Lori has a very warm, nurturing approach. Her process creates an environment that supports us in bringing up issues that were under the table. She helps me see people's true potential and helps me understand what I can do to help each of my people, and the team, succeed."

Tim Dixon, CEO

InterOptic (A Pritzker VC Group Company)

"Lori was able to quickly grasp our situation, but more importantly, after her strengths assessment, she provided real actionable insights for decision-making on multiple key roles.

It kept us from making a fundamental mistake in hiring and instead resulted in advancing and expanding our team’s production capabilities.“
