Workshops, Training & Speaking
I design and facilitate workshops that are practical, high-energy, and built around real participation. Sessions where people actually do the thing and leave with tools right away.
Whether you need a focused 60-minute session or a full-day experience, every format is interactive, actionable, and designed to stick.
What Makes These Workshops Different?
Most training sessions deliver information. These workshops create participation.
With a background in live performance and facilitation, and stand-up comedy, I know how to read a room, keep energy up, and make participation feel natural — even for people who would normally stay quiet in the back row.
Every session is built considering what you want people to be able to do differently when they leave.
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.
Bite-Sized Training Philosophy
Training doesn’t have to feel like information overload.
I specialize in bite-sized, high-impact workshops - typically 60 minutes to a half day - designed to get in, make it stick, and get your people back to work with something they can use immediately.
Every format, every length, every session is built around one commitment: your people leave with something real. Actionable tools they can implement before the week is out.
Because training should be memorable.
Not just mandatory.
WORKSHOP TOPICS
Three signature workshops, each available in person or virtually, from 60-minutes to a half day.
Custom topics also available.
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 five or five hundred.
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
Speak with greater confidence and presence
Keep audiences engaged and attentive

Leadership teams
Client-facing professionals
Emerging speakers
Internal conferences
Professional development events
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

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.
