I’M LAUREN
Over the last 15 years, I have navigated the challenging waters being a high-achieving business woman and single mother of three. I have served as general counsel of many companies. I currently serve as Chief legal officer and data protection officer for Workhuman, a company leading the employee appreciation revolution.
Showing up with authenticity and owning everything that I am as a female leader, was the key to my success.
and you can do it too.
Strategic Leader.

Mother.
It doesn’t have to be lonely at the top. You have found an ally in me. Let’s create something together. It is time to elevate!
but it’s time to
stop
playing
nice.
We won’t see a more feminine approach represented in leadership until we as women dare to take inspired action. We must put real, tangible, action plans into place and make good decisions timely. We are not just dreamers, we are over-comers. The time is now!
It’s time to step into our true power, refuse to play small, and
Having it all,
owning it all

“Women must understand that their authenticity is their key to success. Our unique gift as women is our ability to empathize, be highly expressive, and create bonds. The ability to foster trust, empathy, community, and full expression is the foundational to a highly functioning team. But we can’t shy away from the part of our personality that is able to take inspired action and make things happen.”

“I already know that” is the most dangerous statement you can make. A remarkable leader is someone who is continually seeking knowledge and growth.
It instills you to be knowledgeable, trustworthy, and reliable.
We can learn from one another.
I try hard to teach my children the value of authenticity.
Authenticity is key in any relationship. If you want to be truly happy and successful, you must get real.
Are you living in your truth?
Perfectly said!
Balance is the key to our health, success, and social life.
It provokes a satisfaction of existence, the point from which we manage stress, but most importantly: balance is the space for using all our internal resources and potential.
How can you create more balance in your life?
Women persist and continue to prove that when they lead, they bring transformative changes to entire communities and the world at large. This is the golden age for women in leadership. We have heads of state, CEOs, executives, entrepreneurs, and nonprofit leaders that are all shaping the world. We must continue to support and continue to invest.
What impact do you think more women leaders have had on our world?
Had one ❤️
People follow leaders who offer respect, empathy, appreciation, embracing new ideas, and vulnerability.
Are you the kind of leader you would want to follow? What do you want to improve?
👍
BEAUTIFUL
Every leader should know how to lose. Failure is not something they teach you in school; it is something life teaches you.
#Leader #failure
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, you are a leader who is helping others advance toward their personal goals with your experience.
What does a leader mean to you?
They use to, but then the enemy attacked me through love ones, but still continues to use me to give others hope, to help and give, to warn and educate; but mainly to love and encourage others. Sadly the Devil will come against you, but God stands with you. Thank you Lord.
Aren’t very many LEADERS anymore
Absolutely
Women can be so powerful when they join forces, rather than seeing other women as competition or a threat to you it's so important to realize that we all have common goals, are all equal and all deserve each other's support.
