Hi, I’m Lauren and I have a zest for community.

I can’t wait to get to know YOU and your community, whatever that looks like to you.
Those who have worked with me describe me as:
“An exceptional leader and changemaker”
“A dynamic and highly skilled community leader”
“A visionary thinker… warm and engaging collaborator”
Core Values
People are not meant to compartmentalize themselves. I AM MY SAME SELF IN MY WORK AND MY LIFE.
Here’s what makes me, me:
🍊Community
At my core, I have a deep appreciation for building real human relationships. The work we do together requires deep trust and community building, even when the community is unconventional.
🍊Authenticity
I show up as me, and I work to make space for you to show up authentically. We collaborate on good days and bad ones, embrace our humanity, and grow side by side.
🍊Clarity
Words are powerful. Clear, honest, and transparent communication is a must. I invite questions and approach with curiosity to find mutual understanding.
🍊Compassion
I believe in meeting people where they are while also creating boundaries that keep relationships healthy and work sustainable. Acceptance and accountability must coexist.
🍊Sustainability
My goal is to work myself out of a job. I strive to support the creation of sustainable system that do not rely on outside capacity support. No short term band-aid solutions here.
My Unique Approach:
The Four Foundational Blocks
Every business has its own special story.
Backgrounds, geographies, cultures, goals, and needs differ.
However, the same principles apply across every vertical in all industries.
If sustainability, growth, and success are your goals, you need these things.
I call them the 4 foundational blocks: Trust, Power, Structure, and Capacity.
🍊Trust
Trust grows when people are allowed to be themselves. It thrives when people feel safe. It’s built through reliability, consistency, communication, safety, clarity, and accountability.
🍊Power
Not every person needs to be in charge of every decision, but they need to know how the system works and that their voice matters where it counts.
🍊Structure
Structure helps create predictable processes and systems, consistency, and all of the other functional pieces that keep your business operations running smoothly.
🍊Capacity
Capacity boils down to time and money, no matter how we spin it. Understanding your capacity helps create a realistic picture of what is possible, and how to sustainably meet goals.
