LONG BIO

Lora Caven is a multi-award winning entrepreneur, high performance coach, keynote speaker, and teams facilitator with over two decades in personal growth and development and an international career in business. Originally from Scotland and now based in Canada, Lora has helped hundreds of people around the world, from big corporations to smaller start-ups, through coaching, training, and speaking.

Lora believes everyone has the power to change their life, find their purpose, and contribute to a better world, and brings an unwavering passion to every session, keynote, and team engagement she leads.

At the center of Lora's work is the ACTIVATE Performance Model, her framework for the five activators of performance: clarity, energy, conviction, strategy, and visibility. It rests on the idea that lasting change comes from becoming more aligned with the strengths a person already has, not from adding more.

With teams and leaders, Lora uses CliftonStrengths as a practical tool rather than something that sits in a report. Each person completes their profile, and from there she works with the team as a whole, finding where things flow and where they are getting stuck. The result is teams that communicate more directly and carry pressure together instead of individually.

As a keynote speaker and trainer, Lora has delivered sessions for organizations including 59 Club, BIGGA, and the Glasgow Chamber of Commerce, along with leadership teams and private clubs across Canada, The USA and the UK. Audiences leave with more than a good talk. They leave with clarity on where they stand and the confidence to act on what they have been avoiding.

Lora also speaks widely on menopause and midlife, treating it as a performance and leadership conversation rather than a niche topic, because she has lived it and sees its impact on the people she works with. Whether she is coaching one to one, working with a team, or on stage, Lora helps people find the mindset strategies they need to build the meaningful lives they are worthy of.
