About Lori

As founder and CEO of Conscious Leaders LLC, Lori brings nearly two decades of experience as a transformational coach and consultant to the conscious business movement.

Lori believes that within the heart of everyone lives a creative genius, and that each of us yearns to connect authentically with one another so we can make a positive difference in the world.

Lori is seasoned in the needs of a full range of decision makers, and works extensively with C-suite executives in many industries. She coaches organizations from multi-national corporations, such as Ferro Chemical and a Fortune 500 "Class One" rail transportation company, to entrepreneurial ventures and individuals in non-profits, manufacturing, financial services, management consulting, commercial real estate and the arts.

Lori is a certified somatic coach, recognized by the Strozzi Institute, and a certified Peak Potentials trainer. Additional certifications include Ken Blanchard’s Situational Leadership, Gallup Strengths-Finder, and EQi-2 (an Emotional Intelligence assessment and 360 feedback model).

Lori co-founded a professional modern dance company, in which she also served as Artistic Director, choreographer, and a highly acclaimed dancer. She was a professional dancer with her company until the age of forty-three, when she emerged from that stage of her career as a leader in the arts community. Lori now brings the wisdom gleaned from years of non-profit leadership and artistic directorship to the halls of business.

Lori is interested in creating the next level of people-centered leadership, which she first learned while observing her father, a successful marketing executive who built his business on the power of relationships.

In the Conscious Leaders, LLC coaching process, Lori engages in the use of highly targeted, innovative, and probing questions which bring clarity to any level of inherent complexity.
