Testimonials

  • "Participating in the Heartwise Development program has been a truly transformative experience. Lauren brings a rare blend of deep expertise and heartfelt presence. She's not only knowledgeable, but genuinely kind - creating a space where vulnerability feels safe, and personal growth feels both possible and supported. What sets this program apart is its focus on helping leaders reconnect with their core values in practical, authentic ways. Lauren invites reflection without judgment and offers insights that are both challenging and compassionate. The experience encouraged me to lead more intentionally - aligned with who I am and the kind of impact I want to have. If you're looking for a leadership development experience that blends head and heart - and helps you lead with more clarity, courage, and care - I can't recommend Heartwise Development enough."

    Director, Leader & Workforce Transformation

  • "The Heartwise Course has completely changed the way that I think about myself, other people, and the world in general. Lauren asks incredibly thought-provoking questions that help me to get to know myself on a deeper level. She has taught me how to step back and look at struggles with empathy and patience. Before this course, I thought of myself as someone who is reflective, however Lauren has helped me to see that reflecting does not always have to be critical. I am learning to give myself grace and set achievable goals that are improving my self-worth and changing how I treat myself and in turn how I treat others."

    Rachel Smith

  • "I always hear that having Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is highly valued in the workplace and yet, I don't see companies backing this statement via their actions and priorities. The Heartwise Leadership Program is dedicated to fostering high EQ to everyone who participates, which will certainly make participants stand out in their workplaces."

    Emily Dykstra

  • "Valuable and Essential. This experience provides a dedicated space to step back from daily distractions and truly focus on yourself. It's not just about casually reflecting on your day - it's an intentional exercise that allows for deeper self-awareness and growth. Without setting this time aside, my mind is often flooded with life's demands, making true reflection difficult. Prioritizing this has been incredibly rewarding, bringing both mental clarity and a renewed sense of well-being."
