My Professional Experience
I’ve been fortunate to have a career that still feels a bit surreal—partnering with some truly amazing organizations to help them create meaningful, engaging learning experiences. My journey started at Walt Disney World, where a professional internship led to a role with Disney Event Groups (The Disney Institute). That’s where I first learned the power of asking the right questions, creating spaces for genuine engagement, and ensuring the content is clear and impactful.
These lessons have stayed with me throughout my career. When I'm not leading my own strength-based workshops, consulting, or doing 1:1 coaching, I’m also a facilitator and consultant with JB Training Solutions. Over the past decade, as part of this team, I’ve specialized in employee engagement programs and helped develop some of their most popular workshops. Throughout the years, I’ve had the honor of working with a wide range of audiences—from intimate executive coaching sessions to large-scale keynote addresses, including being recognized as a top-rated speaker at the SHRM Annual Conference.
While it feels a bit awkward to name-drop, I do want to share that I’ve been trusted by some incredible organizations. I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with companies like Subaru, Eli Lilly, Publicis Groupe, Marriott, Microsoft, Major League Baseball Network, Spectrum Reach, the Chicago Bears, Abbott Nutrition, Discover Financial Services, Conde Nast, and Harvard among others. It’s always a humbling experience to partner with these world-class teams and help them build stronger, more engaged workforces.
Whether I’m traveling the globe with JB Training Solutions to deliver impactful workshops, or working one-on-one with clients through my own business, my purpose is simple: helping people love their jobs. When you're engaged and inspired at work, it creates a ripple effect in all parts of your life.

Now that we’ve covered the professional side,
let me show you the person behind the work
Hey, I'm Lora
Communication | Developer | Empathy | Positivity | Woo
If there’s one thing I hope my friends would say about me, it’s that I’m authentic and let people be themselves. I’m happiest in temperate climates and near water, so my husband and I split our time between Milwaukee, WI (because there’s nothing like a Midwest summer) and Key West in the winter. We’re major foodies who love supporting local restaurants and have even planned vacations—both domestic and international—around food. I see free time as an opportunity to explore, always seeking out the best festivals, events, and activities wherever we are. I’m a passionate plant mom (indoors and on our patios), bike rider, reader, and beach lover. No show makes me laugh harder than Arrested Development, and I’m often journaling, making bucket lists, or doing a deep introspective dive to stay happy and aligned with my goals. I strive to make the most out of ever day, practicing gratitude along the way.
