Workshops & Training

A diverse group of people at a conference or workshop, smiling and holding microphones, posing in front of a presentation screen that reads 'The Art of Powerful Presentations' with the subtitle 'Elevating Your Game'.

Practical, interactive sessions for teams, associations, and corporate groups on communication, networking, and presentation skills.

What Makes These Workshops Different?

Most training sessions deliver information. These workshops create participation. Every session is built around the idea that people learn by doing, not by reading slides.

With a background in live performance and facilitation (yes, including stand-up comedy), Lauren knows how to read a room, keep energy up, and make participation feel natural rather than forced — even for people who'd normally stay quiet in the back row.

Sessions are practical, immediately applicable, and designed to leave people with tools they'll actually use on Monday morning.

Participants often describe Lauren’s sessions as:

  • Interactive without feeling forced

  • Practical and immediately useful

  • Introvert-friendly and inclusive

  • High-energy while still professional

  • Engaging, thoughtful, and human

Because when people participate, ideas stick.

WORKSHOP TOPICS

WORKSHOP 01

7 Secrets of Public Speaking

For professionals who want to communicate with more clarity, confidence, and connection, whether presenting to a room of 5 or 500.

This session goes beyond tips and tricks. Participants explore what actually makes communication land, including how to open strong, structure ideas clearly, manage nerves, and keep an audience with them from start to finish.

Participants explore how to:

  • Connect with audiences quickly and authentically

  • Structure presentations for clarity and impact

  • Leadership teams

  • Client-facing professionals

  • Emerging speakers

  • Internal conferences

WORKSHOP 02

Networking for Relationship Builders

For people who want to build genuine professional connections without the small talk, awkwardness, or pressure to try to talk to every person in the room.

This session reframes networking entirely. Instead of teaching people how to collect contacts, it focuses on how to build real conversations that lead to referrals, collaborations, and relationships that actually matter.

Especially valuable for introverts and anyone who’s ever stood at a networking event wondering what to say next.

Participants explore how to:

  • Introduce themselves clearly and memorably

  • Build rapport through curiosity and genuine listening

  • Move past surface-level conversation

  • Follow up with intention and ease

Works especially well for:

  • Association conferences

  • Sales & business development teams

  • Leadership groups

  • New employee onboarding

  • Team retreats


WORKSHOP 03

Learning that Lasts: How to Make Training STICK

For trainers, managers, and HR professionals who want the ideas from their sessions to actually translate into behavior change, not just nods of agreement.

This highly interactive session tackles one of the most persistent problems in corporate training: people leave engaged, but nothing changes. Participants explore why information gets forgotten and what to do about it, in the room and beyond it.

Participants explore how to:

  • Understand why training often fails to stick and what changes that

  • Apply practical reinforcement strategies during sessions

  • Design more engaging learning experiences

  • Help audiences retain and apply what they learn

Works especially well for:

  • Trainers and facilitators

  • HR and L&D teams

  • Team leaders & managers

  • Organizations focused on communication & implementation

Need Something Custom?

Every team and organization is different. If you have a specific communication challenge, a theme you’re building around, or a training need that doesn’t quite fit an existing topic, Lauren is happy to develop something tailored to your group.

Previous custom topics have included team presentation skills for sales proposals, virtual client presentations, emcee skills, and more.

Reach out and we’ll figure out what your audience needs and how we can best create a solution tailored for them.

Half-Day and Full-Day Training Experiences

For organizations that want to go deeper than a single session.

For organizations that want more than a one-off workshop, Lauren designs and facilitates half-day and full-day training experiences built around your team’s specific goals, challenges, and culture.

These aren’t off-the-shelf programs with your logo added. The content, flow, activities, and takeaways are built from a conversation about what your people actually need, and what you want them to be able to do differently after the training ends.

It starts with a conversation. Share what you’re trying to accomplish, and Lauren will build something that fits.

These sessions work

especially well as:

  • Conference breakout sessions

  • Leadership development events

  • Professional development programs

  • Association learning tracks

  • Team offsites and retreats

  • Internal company meetings

Sessions can be customized to align with audience needs, event goals, and conference themes.
