Testimonials

“I was a fellow trainer but always turned into an eager learner whenever Lauren took the stage. Her no-bullshit yet empathetic approach will make you arrive faster at the heart of the story you need to tell.”

Timi Stoop-Alcala, Principal Content Strategist, IKEA

 

“In preparing for a new role where I had to give trainings for the first time, Lauren took the time to give me tips and insights that I could immediately put into practice. It was very helpful and gave me the confidence to take on the role.”

Josine Hamming, Customer Marketing Manager

 

“Lauren is an incredibly charismatic and intelligent person who brings amazing energy and profound knowledge to any training. In the time I’ve got to work with her, I have learned a great deal about not only presenting but also about myself due to her warm and emphatic personality.”

Nikita Brix, Senior Communications Consultant, Edelman

 

“Lauren is a huge role model for me. Not just because of her great experience but also because she helps me increase my impact as a trainer.”

Melissa Marijnen, IT Leadership Trainer

 

“Lauren is a great coach and trainer. She has incredible people skills recognizing individual’s strengths and teams needs. She understands how to empower and motivate individuals and teams. Lauren was my mentor and team leader. Through her leadership I have evolved on a personal and professional level, learned how to be an enabler rather than a manager and grew my professional self-confidence.”

Tadeja Pivc-Coudyser, Director, Slovenia Meetings

 

“I can easily say that Lauren has been one of the most empathic mentors I've had throughout my career. Her ability to relate and connect with others on both a personal and professional level has made me feel at ease with her during our time together. A session with Lauren doesn't feel like a session at all. It's a genuine conversation on an equal level, which results in her making you figure out the best way forward yourself.

Due to her broad knowledge and experience, there seems to be nothing she can't help you with. Whether it's gaining new perspectives and finding out the true source of an obstacle, or concrete steps forward, she provides you with a platform to grow. I consider her to be a trusted coach and mentor, but above all that she's a relaxed and understanding person to be around.”

Bob Bruinenberg, Senior Creative Strategist, The Oval Office

 

“Lauren’s training has been empowering and insightful! Giving you tips on how to make use of the assets you already possess, but might not necessarily have been “aware” of. All wrapped into a fun and interactive workshop. I highly recommend Lauren.”

Wafae Akarriou, Senior Specialist eCommerce Partnerships EMEA, HARMAN International

 

“With her natural gift for clear communication, Lauren Valbert has been an invaluable asset to the Women in AI community helping women like me to overcome the fear of public speaking and win the room. Women in AI have had wonderful fortune working with her on "Speaking on Stage" & "Pitching Ideas" workshops together. Nowadays, I can see my cohort's progress because they're growing their startups while also being visible at international conferences, and feeling more confident when pitching their innovative ideas. For anyone who's feeling self-conscious about public speaking but wants to learn more confident techniques - I recommend working with Lauren. Her expertise will ensure that your next speech goes off without any hitch.”
