“Dr. Cook’s seminar was the best use of an hour I’ve ever spent on the topic of well-being. I’m still referencing some of the themes that she brought up. Lauren was engaging, even in a digital format, and had a style that was welcomed across the globe. I highly recommend her.”
— Susanne Senoff | Senior Director, Enterprise Security, Arm
