Then worked on shifting her energy and expectations…and was she ever shocked when he listened to her!They developed a great working relationship…
I remember the text I received a few months later. “Lori, my boss is leaving and he's recommended that the School Board promote me. I’m going to be to School Superintendent!

Origin Story

I am The Success Whisperer.
I've been whispering about success for many years to help entrepreneurs, leaders, and executives unlock the next level of success they desire. Whether in business or life.

It all started with Disney’s Pollyana—at a young age, I liked the way it felt watching how a positive attitude could make other people feel good. This led me to a lifetime of observing and studying people. What they went through to create success. And I wondered, if you’re good, what does it take to be GREAT?

This fascination grew into a passion. When my first book was published, my heart said it was time, time to stretch myself, move into my zone of Genius...where I could make a difference.

My personal journey was filled with challenges from bulimia to abusive relationships. I invested heavily in myself and learned how to boost my confidence and courage, and most importantly how to love and respect myself, then I found my voice. I knew it was time to help other female executives and leaders to find their authentic voice. To lead authentically so others want to follow. You have NO Limits.
