There are some new followers here – hi! – so I thought I’d reintroduce myself and tell you about my business origin story. This is a story most of you – new or existing readers – have not heard before so read on!
?
I am the founder of LORA Concepts Inc. and a workplace confidence and engagement facilitator and consultant.
?
In other words, I help leaders make their people want to stick around and thrive in their roles.
?
I have a unique ability to relate to the issues that affect professionals’ and high achievers' confidence, engagement, and happiness at work. I have nearly two decades of experience in high-pressure corporate roles, including business development, treasury management, credit underwriting, strategy, employee enablement, and adult learning. I have enjoyed and benefited from each of these opportunities but have also experienced the many challenges that can accompany them.
?
I help professionals and high achievers navigate those challenges.
?
I bring LORA Concepts Inc. to life through a down-to-earth and genuine approach, built on my corporate experiences, master's level business education, and extensive research. Through effective corporate training, engaging presentations, and transformative consulting, I bolster professionals' and high achievers' confidence, engagement, and effectiveness by empowering them with relatable and simple-to-implement ideas and tactics for elevating their mindsets, honing their focus, managing their stress, and engaging with their clients, employees, or partners.

Most of my nearly two-decade career was spent in financial services.

On the whole, I really enjoyed my time in commercial banking. I was afforded incredible opportunities and continued to learn until my last day there. Yet, as with all jobs, there were things I did not enjoy. At one point, early in my career, I found myself in a role with considerable pressure. I was stressed out all the time. I invariably got the Sunday blues. I was negative and down. I was miserable.
But I didn't stay that way.
