Leadership Coaching Testimonials

Shimin Q. Director, biopharma industry

“I highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking to strengthen their communication, leadership, and executive presence in a cross-cultural environment. Moving from China to a New York headquarters brought challenges in balancing humility with visibility. Lauren gave me the tools and cultural insights to bridge that gap—whether refining my pronunciation, building my personal brand or preparing me to lead high-stakes meetings with confidence and authority. Most importantly, she helped me develop an authentic leadership voice, rather than changing my style. I’ve emerged more confident, effective, and I’m so grateful for her guidance.”

Hsiao-Ling Hung President, Taiwanese American Association of Biotechnology (TAAB) 2023-2025

“Lauren is a very experienced communication coach, in particular specializing in coaching East Asian non- English speakers. She has deep insight in the cultural influence on Eastern communication styles and guides her learners in identifying and correcting deeply ingrained mindsets that may be a hindrance to effective communication and advancement in the American workplace. In addition, Lauren is familiar with the root of Chinese accent and can effectively help Chinese speakers reduce accent when speaking English and gain confidence in both public speaking and workplace small talks. I benefited from her presentations and workshops tremendously and attribute my self-confidence to much of her good teaching “

Shujun G. Senior Director, biotechnology industry

“I found Lauren to be very knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and flexible. We worked on a number of presentations, and her insightful feedback was consistently practical and targeted, addressing issues such as pronunciation, delivery, and clarity of message. One of my biggest takeaways from coaching is how to use phrasing, stress, and intonation to create a clear and persuasive message. I apply daily things we covered in our sessions. I highly recommend working with Lauren.”

Bonnie W. Associate Scientific Director, biopharma industry

“Lauren is an intercultural communication expert experienced in helping professionals improve their language, culture, and communication skills. … I was impressed not only by Lauren’s knowledge but also by her empathy, sincerity, professionalism, and flexibility.
