Testimonials for Lauren Baptiste:
- Lauren spoke at our Inaugural Botkeeper AI Unchained conference last month, and partnering with her has been a wonderful experience. Over the past year, she’s done multiple events for us, but watching her on stage in front of our in-person audience of 250+ people (plus another 2,000 online) was the cherry on top. She presented on a topic of “Winning + Learning”, to our audience of CFOs, CEOs, Partners and Managers, which included a wide audience that included Top 20 Accounting firms to small solo firms. The audience was engaged and provided very positive feedback. One participant in particular shared, “I absolutely needed to hear this. The speaker was excellent, on point, and very motivational. Felt like a GaryVee or Tony Robbins event. Loved it!” We’re very glad to have Lauren’s programming complement our own service offering! – Deneen Dias, Botkeeper, November 2023
- Lauren presented “Solving for Time Management” as a CLE for the Albany County Bar Association. She explained the concept of time mastery in a unique way I’ve never heard before as she paired mindset with time management strategies. With a focus on those most impacted by “billable-hour burnout”, she walked us through a simple technique to build awareness of how we use our time and three important steps to get a handle of our schedules going forward. She delivered the content in a way that was clear, understandable and actionable! I highly recommend having Lauren speak at your association or Firm. Marquita Rhodes, Albany County Bar Association, October 2023
- I had the pleasure of experiencing Lauren Baptiste’s expertise firsthand during our first ever Leadership Retreat within our organization, where she facilitated a workshop on managing stress and cultivating a “leadership mindset.” Lauren’s approach was nothing short of transformative for our team at Acheloa Wellness. In the workshop, Lauren skillfully created a roundtable atmosphere, fostering open dialogue and collaboration among our smaller team. She introduced a useful tool to reframe stress, and the impact was immediate. It allowed our team to find new ways to navigate our daily workload with increased ease and resilience. One of the most remarkable aspects of Lauren’s workshop was the way it resonated with our team members. I received feedback from several colleagues, and the consensus was unanimous—Lauren’s insights were invaluable. One team member mentioned how the definition of stress presented by Lauren has become a practical tool, allowing them to evaluate opportunities before they escalate to “DEFCON 5.” In a professional landscape where burnout is an ever-present challenge, Lauren’s wisdom has become an essential resource for our team’s well-being. I wholeheartedly recommend Lauren Baptiste to any organization seeking to enhance the well-being and productivity of its team members. Thank you, Lauren, for your contribution to our team’s growth and resilience. – Lindsey Keeler, USTA, December 2023
