Lauren is the secret sauce to getting your business and life on track! I have had the pleasure of working with her one on one, and she has brought about deep insight and actionable plans for my life and my business. Additionally, Lauren's emotional intelligence, genuine care & curiosity and understanding of the business world, especially the NYC real estate industry, is truly impressive. I have worked with other coaches before and found the experience to be disappointing and underwhelming; I felt like I wasn't a top priority. This is the antithesis of working with Lauren. She is highly engaging and can pinpoint any "Gremlins" that are somehow eluding you. This may come off a bit cheesy
. But she really knows how to leverage love and empathy -- something I find quite lacking in New York City and even the country. I recommend her highly and without hesitation to anyone who wants to put the time and effort in to supercharge his/her personal and business life! She is a true advocate; her strategies will change your business and your life.

"Don't be held back any longer. I've taken Lauren's Female Fear Fighters series of workshops twice now, and it has helped me immeasurably. I can point to it in both instances as what has pushed me to the next level of willingness and action to do scary but extraordinary things. It's brilliant, and it's practical.
In a safe, supportive environment, with like-minded, like-missioned women, Lauren's incisive exercises get straight to the core of what's holding us back. She then gives us various cognitive tools and processes to defang and reframe those unproductive thoughts, which in turn gives us the clarity and freedom to identify and commit to small but concrete, manageable actions to move past those (now not-quite-as-paralyzing) fears.
Being accountable to (and more importantly, having the loving support of) my Female Fear Fighters group has enabled me to actually follow through, take action, and get moving on things I've always wanted to do (online dating, going back to school, and embarking on a new career, for example) but put off for way too long because of fear. It's simple, but somehow, with Lauren's incisiveness and guidance combined with the group's support, it's magic. I went from zero to near-hero (it's a continuing process) in the areas of dating and pursuing my dream career in a surprisingly short amount of time due to Lauren's supportive, smart and pragmatic coaching in these workshops. I can't say enough about it. If you're ready and willing, Lauren and your fellow Female Fear Fighters will get you where you once only dreamed you could be, one manageable, doable action at a time. It's transformative. Thank you, Lauren!"
I have also taken Lauren's vision board workshop two years in a row now, and they have been invaluable opportunities to reflect on my gratitude for the past year's achievements and blessings as well as to look ahead to what I want to manifest in the year to come. One of the highlights of this year's workshop for me was our releasing of balloons with all the things (fears, resentments, negative thoughts and emotions, struggles, etc.) written on them that I want to release and not bring with me into the new year. It was an incredibly powerful and freeing symbolic exercise! I feel lighter already! I'm psyched for next year already!"

I attended Lauren's vision board workshop and it was amazing. It had me stop and think about what I have already achieved in my life and what goals I still have. It was fun to do this before the new year starts!

Lauren has an uncanny ability to cut through the red tape of my thought process and get to the goal of what I'm pursuing. Lauren helps me to prioritize next steps and to clarify the potential results of those next steps, allowing me to move beyond hang-ups & fear into a place of productivity & satisfaction.

Lauren moderated a comfortable, intimate and inspirational vision-boarding workshop last month that helped me focus on what my goals and dreams are for 2015. I would highly recommend this session to anyone who simply wants to tap into and take action on the dreams that are already tucked away in their heart.
