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.”

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?

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.
“Every girl and every woman has the potential to make this world a better place, and that potential lies in the act of thinking higher thoughts and feeling deeper things.”

Women, well, females in general....you gotta love & respect them all!
Embrace who you are as a female leader, not who you think you’re supposed to be. I used to try and fit the perfect persona that so many corporate women embody but when it comes down to it, that’s just not me. Show up as yourself, even in the workplace.
IN JESUS HOLY NAME I REPENT FOR MY SINS MY HEART MIND SOUL BODY AND BLOOD LINE AND MY EYES EARS NOSE MOUTH AND TONGUE IN JESUS HOLY NAME AMEN
Need tips on balancing work and being a mom? I got you.
It’s so important to “leave work at work”. When you get home, really be present with your kids. Take 5 deep breaths, and be grateful for that time.
Very nice
👍🏼
Forget perfection! The house will not always be perfect, the kids are never going to be perfect, your career is not always perfect. Find beauty in the small moments, in imperfection.
