Best Story
I remember making the decision to confront my boss…
My heart was pounding as I stood outside her door. She waved me in for our meeting, and less than 5 minutes later, the phone rang, she picked it up, “This is Louise, how can I help you?” I sat there, blood boiling, imaginary froth coming from my mouth I was so annoyed. Hiding my hands under her desk so she couldn’t see me shaking. ~7 minutes later when she hung up, I said, “Louise, I need to talk to you about something.”
She said, “Okay, what is it?”
I responded, “You schedule a status meeting with me every week—then you answer the phone 2-3 times while I just sit here, like my time isn’t important.” I was shaking!
She said, “Wow Lori, I never even thought about it that way—thank you for calling my attention to it. It won’t happen again—this is your time.” I was stunned! I had to clinch my teeth to keep my mouth shut. I couldn’t believe I confronted her and didn’t get in trouble! I got a positive response. What a boost of confidence! I couldn’t wait to confront the problem on my team. THIS was my first step in owning my VOICE professionally, it was 1995.
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 low self-esteem. 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. I know...You have NO Limits.
