Knowing and working with Lora, will make you a better person, at home, at work, on Earth.She will unravel parts of your being, and put them back together again, just more efficient, more organized, more impactful, more meaningful.
To know Lora is to love her, I'm certain, and when you work with her, you learn to love yourself, your life, your colleagues and your family, in new ways.

Work with Lora and enjoy the self-discovery journey she brings you on to unleash your impact as the best version of yourself in all facets of your life. Lora will leave permanent imprints in your life and challenge you to see new things and be better, both boldly and quietly.

Jeremy MacRae
Chief Executive Officer, Mississaugua Golf & Country Club
My decision to work with Lora came initially through colleagues who had completed sessions with her and spoke highly of the experience. From my first conversations with her, learning about the programming, the deliverables, and the level at which everything would be executed, I felt very comfortable with what we had agreed upon.I'll be honest, I went in with minimal expectations. The purpose of the session was to understand our team, what makes us effective, and how we might strengthen those qualities even further. If we identified a gap along the way, great, but I wasn't going in looking for problems to solve.
The experience exceeded what I anticipated. It was highly interactive, not a one-way information download that you walk away from and forget within twenty-four hours. It was thought-provoking, engaging, and it challenged the team to think both collectively and as individuals within that team. That balance was key.
In terms of outcomes, we identified a gap in our collective skill set, an area we assumed we had well covered, but perhaps not to the degree we thought. The visual tools Lora uses to illustrate team dynamics made that incredibly clear. Black and white. Our leadership team now references those visuals regularly in our meetings, and when issues arise, we know exactly which areas to focus on.
To anyone considering working with Lora: it's worth an exploratory conversation. We found enough value that we're already discussing what a next session looks like. She is genuinely passionate about what she does, and that comes through in a way that feels relatable to every person in the room. I'd highly recommend it.

Lisa Curtis
Director, UK
Recently I was privileged to hear Lora speak at a business convention. Lora engaged with every single person in that audience and held them for the entire 30 minutes.She is intelligent, witty and inspirational and she had us enthralled, entertained and left us uplifted, determined and enriched.
I highly recommend Lora, who has the ability to connect with her audience and reach them individually, through her genuine nature, vast experience and a great stories to tell.

Bob Hess
Vice Chairman, Global Corporate Services at Newmark, USA
There are many times in a career like mine of 30+ years where there needs to be an outside high quality perspective on what is next, where balance can be achieved business vs personal, and even involved discussions about legacy and relationships that matter, nurturing those.Lora is a coach that can span all these dimensions. She is passionate, well prepared, informed, so likeable but yet wonderfully challenging in the way she gets you to be present, in the moment, and to plan for what's next with reality, and stress test that.
Oh and I love her checkups, and accountability, like did you buy that Pontoon or why would you enter into any new dimension of your business and personal context without the energy and self care to keep your cup half full.
I have a life plan now because of Lora that is exciting, realistic and grounded in what will make me happy and fulfilled.
Lora is great, period.

Kart Vaith
Chief Strategy Officer, Ardurra, USA
Lora supported the Ardurra Miami office in working with the leaders to define their leadership types and understand themselves so that they could work well and better with each other.
Overall the session was excellent and Lora's approach allowed attendees to open up about themselves and therefore, understand each other.
This in turn lead to a productive team building session!
I recommend Lora without reservation for any firm or team to improve performance and work better within the team.

Natalie Colalillo
Founder and CEO of Happy Healthy Women
Lora spoke at a recent Happy Healthy Women summit and we were blown away by her ability to captivate the audience and share so authentically!
We laughed, cried and walked away with so much knowledge.
In addition to speaking at our events, Lora has been a leader in our organization for the past 2 years.
She is a trusted coach and mentor to many, and we are so grateful to have her as part of our collective!
INDIVIDUAL COACHING
One To One
The Founders, executives and board members here arrived accomplished, capable, often at the top of their field. What they were looking for wasn't more. It was clarity, honesty, and someone who would tell them the truth. Here's what that work meant to them.

Radhika Narain
CPA, Board Member, Founder & President, USA
In my coaching here is what I learned about Lora - she is willing to be open about herself, which makes you feel empowered to lower your own walls.She focuses on progress and propels you to move forward.
She takes you 10 steps forward in each conversation in a relaxed way.
She is just as focused on your objectives as you are.
A true partner without beating you on the head with it.
-
Maria Pritzos
President and CEO, Business Consulting, Canada
Unlike some coaches who use a cookie cutter approach with their clients, Lora takes the time to understand who she is dealing with and creates a very personal program that is flexible yet allows for accountability.I find her compassionate, energetic and very resourceful. Working with Lora has been the best decision I made in a long time.
I feel transformed, grounded and have more clarity about how I want my life to move forward and how I show up in the world. Thank you Lora.

Paul Bruce Brand
Estate General Manager / Chief Executive, South Africa
To say that Lora is a phenomenal, life-changing coach is an under-statement.Lora's business background, entrepreneurial spirit, uncanny ability to see the bigger picture, her intellect combined with empathy, wisdom, humor and an ability to digest the facts and steer one in the right direction are a powerful combination and sets her apart from other coaches.
If you are looking for positive transformation, being a better version of yourself and learning powerful tools to progress and be happier in all aspects of life, then I can unreservedly recommend Lora's coaching.
I will eternally be grateful to Lora for the powerfully positive, life-altering impact that she has had on my life.

Lora is a consummate professional and has a special ability to home in on the things that matter, all with a grace to be admired.Lora helped me think about my key relationships and personal goals in a uniquely different way. This shift in perspective was eye-opening, and I am excited about evolving, with her continued guidance, into the best possible version of myself.
I highly recommend Lora as a coach for those on a journey of positive transformational change.

Lora exceeded my expectations by assisting me to formulate specific obtainable goals for my professional life and mental and physical well-being.Lora kept me accountable and sharpened my skills of organization, focus, self-care, and positivity . I am more aware of my character strengths and how to highlight as well as employ such strengths to obtain what I want to achieve in my professional and personal life thanks to Lora.
She has unquestionably helped me to perform at a higher level! Thank you Lora.

Shonagh MacVicar
General Counsel, Board/C-Suite Advisor, Commercial Consultant, Corporate Mentor & Certified Positive Psychology Coach, Dubai
Coaching with Lora has been a transformative journey of self-discovery.Through curiosity, challenge and intuition, Lora has encouraged me to better understand what matters most in my work and personal life and to pursue change from a place of confidence and self-awareness.
After 22 years as a career corporate, I did not think there was anything else to learn about myself but Lora's guidance brought about a radical shift in perspective for me and she has shared tools that have lead to a greater sense of fulfilment across all areas of my life.
Lora just 'gets it'. It's hard to articulate (even for a lawyer!) but if you are looking for someone to help you navigate life changes - call Lora. She will be one of the most important connections you make.

David Cozzens
Transformation Change Leader, Agile Practitioner, Delivery Oriented Professional, and ILM7 Certified Executive Coach, USA
Lora’s coaching has guided me through a self-transformation journey.When we started working together over a year ago, I was struggling to determine the next chapter of my career. Lora’s outstanding listening skills, tactful questions, psychometric analysis, and impeccable motivation guided me in determining my own course of action.
The end result? I am proud to say that I am now a certified Executive Coach myself and ready to embark on the next step of an amazing journey.
Lora’s coaching brought out the best in me and she will bring out the best in you too. To coin her phrase, “Don’t hold back!” When you connect with her you will be amazed and what you can do!

Dawn Calvinisti
Wellness and Life Purpose Coach, Guatemala
When I first encountered Lora I was feeling very overwhelmed in my business and personal life.I felt like I needed a coach but when I tried coaching in the past I always left feeling like I’d gone in a circle and was never sure of what I had achieved.
Lora quickly helped me clarify my goals and the steps needed to reach them.
She held me accountable and helped me to recognize what was most important to focus on moving forward.
This allowed me to get out of the endless wondering about what I should do next and what I had time for.
Because of Lora’s support and questions I have increased my productivity but feel less stress and more peace in my daily life and tasks.
I love that her coaching is not just about my work but about my personal life as well. I have improved relationships in every area, even with myself.
Now I recommend Lora to anyone that is considering a coach with complete confidence in what she can help them achieve.
I look forward to each of our sessions and the growth they provide in every area.

Beth M
Associate Director, ESG, USA
If I had this program 8 years ago, I would have saved time and money on so many personal development online courses.While in the midst of career stagnation, I joined a professional networking group, and I was matched with Lora for career coaching.
Brilliantly, Lora helped me see how to move forward, get unstuck, and find career joy. At the same time, her stress reduction techniques and relationship guidance were improving my personal life - amazing!
When Lora told me about the DISCOVERY program, I was an immediate yes because of the results of Lora's coaching in my life.
However, I thought that I might already know all of the concepts since I had taken countless online programs in personal development and read so many books. In my mind, DISCOVERY would be a nice refresher.
I was completely wrong. DISCOVERY is not like any program I have ever taken. It is a synthesis of Lora's approach to life, and each module is masterclass worthy of copious notes.
The exercises are easy to fit in during the week, and I find myself going back to them because the insights help me set the direction of my life.
My favorite part of DISCOVERY is the group calls. Lora's method within the small group setting amplifies the a-ha moments.
-
Roan Vollmer
Director of Golf, Canada
Before Lora and I began working together, I faced many challenges with managing anxiety driven by expectations put upon myself, volumes of work, and balancing life. I felt I was simply managing moment to moment. Her impact on my life has been a blessing and I now have the ability to focus forward with purpose and have developed a positive habit of consistently planning both in the present and for the future for all aspects of my life.
Lora has guided and assisted me in identifying tools to find success in managing moments of challenge and the people I connect with.
I now have the ability to plan far better and execute that plan. Incredibly, I find myself coaching my teams and establishing the same traits in their personal and professional growth.
Working with Lora has been, and this is an understatement, life changing.
Her ability to create a clear picture of the options in front of me and educate on the tools necessary to achieve goals is best in class.
She is inspiring and empowering, and I have been gifted with a world class coach, motivational mentor, and a true friend.
-
Jaime Steedman
Director of Golf, Canada
I can't emphasize enough the impact that Lora has had on my professional and personal journey.Lora's extensive knowledge, expertise, and humor, blended with her ability to forge connections make her an inspiring individual. Her passion for coaching is evident in every interaction, and her positive energy is contagious.
Lora helped me gain a clearer understanding of my leadership style, and uncover untapped potential and strengths.
Lora has a remarkable ability to all at once challenge, motivate, and empower, and her unwavering belief in my abilities gave me the confidence to stretch beyond my comfort zone.

Andrew Gilfillan
Chief of Staff | UHNW Executive Assistant | Private Office Director | House & Estate Manager
I have worked with Lora for the past 3+ years and through the process, she has helped me redefine my life goals, take control of my professional development and double down on my impact in a new sector.Lora’s coaching doesn’t start and end on our calls - she is a great source of support when the unexpected crops up, be it a challenge or an opportunity.
I find Lora’s support invaluable and the benefit of coaching tangible. In the time I have been working with her I have moved countries, changed professions and embarked on a life changing adventure.
I regularly recommend Lora to friends, colleagues and the occasional stranger! Highly recommended!
And it all started with a free, discovery call…..!

Leona Buchanan
Photographer, UK
Lora was expert at coaching us as a whole group, bringing us together to recognise some of the common areas we all needed to work on.She made it possible for us to confidently share and support each other in a safe space. At the same time, she somehow managed to work with us individually, I felt seen and understood for who I am and what my particular needs are.
In work and business, I’m often having to explain why I’ve developed certain boundaries and Lora gets it, she showed me that I am not alone in my experiences as a women in the world and how I can work on creating my own path.
Her strategies for building my confidence in leadership are both practical and achievable, I have seen results since implemented them.
Lora’s session on menopause and handling our hormones was a real eye opener for me. I’d never considered how much of an impact this could have on my work and I’m so grateful that I can have more control over that.
Lora has empowered me with the tools I need to improve my leadership skills, to deal with conflict constructively, and to feel confident pushing myself even further in my business.
-
Gillian Oldham
Senior Manager - Global Compliance Services, UK
I’ve just gone through menopause coaching with Lora and can hand on heart say it was transformational. Giving this subject air time and head space where you can talk freely and openly was brilliant.
Lora is a fantastic coach with the ability to listen and really help dig deep and challenge when needed but all from a place of positivity and care. I was struggling when we started our journey and now I really am feeling so much more like me again.
Huge thanks to Lora for her direction and support!!

Lee Strutt
Director of Agronomy, Canada
I have learned in my professional career that ambition and passion are not always enough to rely on if I wanted to pursue my career goals.A part of this growth has been through self-investment, essential, and formed a key part of my professional career which has allowed me to learn, grow, and develop.
Understanding my own career growth strategy has been extremely difficult and challenging!
I invested in Lora, both in money and time, to allow me to understand and learn. Lora has brought a very different approach than most performance coaches.
She is extremely approachable, talented, personable, supportive in your development but is never afraid to hold you to account for your own actions and thoughts.
Our meetings are always set for success, and she utilizes sound techniques (sometimes alternative thinking) to achieve this.
My biggest take away with working with Lora has been, my time has been well invested and she has allowed me to develop and grow past my own glass ceiling!
-
Sharon Massey
Online Entrepreneur, UK
Group coaching has allowed me to open up about the challenges my business has been facing during these difficult times and to understand the opportunities in front of me in order to pivot and transform my business.Lora has a way of coaching that allows you to dig deep and come to realisations and solutions without going as far as telling you what directions you 'should' be moving in.
-
Trish Osbourne

and focus on myself.
It has helped me implement change and development in not one but all
aspects of my life.
Lora guides you through this course with ease, understanding and most of all, patience.
She recognizes your potential and helps you see it. If anyone is looking to transform their career or life, look no further than this course.

Lora worked with me, teaching me how to BE in my business and not always DO. I finally figured out that I just get to be more of who I am, to truly make a difference in this line of work, and it has been transformational!I recommend anyone who may feel like they know what they want, but may not have the tools in their toolbox to create habits, alignment, and confidence around their passion.
Lora is so amazing to be around. Her energy is authentic, she speaks from her Heart, and she also doesn't let you get away with making excuses as to why you are not where you are meant to be!
Thank you Lora!

It was a delight to work with Lora within the vibrant cohort of talented and inspiring women on her DISCOVERY program.
This program was meticulously crafted to facilitate a profound journey of self-exploration and awareness, and Lora's insightful, compassionate, and empowering guidance made the experience truly enriching. Lora possesses a unique talent for guiding individuals towards their own answers, skillfully navigating through thought-provoking questions and effortlessly pinpointing the crux of any issue with remarkable perceptiveness and intuition.
Throughout the program, Lora's leadership fostered an environment of trust and camaraderie, enabling each participant to delve deep into their personal journey with confidence and courage.

Lora has an amazing way of getting the best out of you. She intuitively knows what to say, when to push and how to get the most out of every session! She makes you want to get the best out of yourself for yourself. The input, tools, information and strategies she gives are second to none and so insightful yet extremely practical!
I will be eternally grateful for everything I achieved with Lora’s guidance and support. I can and will definitely recommend Lora as a coach an absolute 10/10!

I have been working with Lora for nearly a year and would highly recommend her coaching approach and programmes.For me she has provided the perfect blend of support, encouragement and challenge that are needed in coaching.

Lora holds space for her clients and gives them the tools they need to succeed.
Lora's personality shines through, her confident calmness radiates through which makes you feel instantly at ease.

Everyone needs to experience working with Lora!

Gemma Green
Performance and Accountability Coach
When you ask what I got from being a part of Lora's DISCOVERY Group Program? All I can say is - WOW! That it was one of my best investments yet.
It’s changed my whole outlook on my own personal goals and personal growth and development.
Being able to be around likeminded women, who come from different backgrounds but all are all striving for similar things, was really refreshing to be part of.
If you’ve been sitting on the fence about doing something like this, well I’m here to telling you, to do it!
Invest in yourself and just watch your who life and personal development grow!
TEAMS & ORGANIZATIONS
The Whole Team
Every team has the things people think but don't say. Our work together work makes it safe for your team to say them out loud, and then we put them into use once they've been said. These are the leaders and teams who did exactly that, and what shifted because of it.

Molly Jagroop
General Manager, Oakdale Golf and Country Club, Canada
Lora helped me and the Oakdale team refocus, recharge, and grow as a team.We were given tools to manage personal and group wellness as well as be intentional and purposeful in our daily lives.
We discovered our team's strengths and weaknesses and the need to be tolerant, open, and honest was brought to the forefront.
The teams became more self-aware and the importance of goal setting and personal development was heightened.
I highly recommend coaching from Lora as she is a true industry professional and takes the time to understand the team and its challenges.
Thank you, Lora, I appreciate you.

Chris Staino

Lora Caven’s executive coaching session elevated my training team’s mindset, driving greater accountability, ownership, and agility, and helping us lean into our “zone of genius.”
Since the session, I’ve seen a transformational shift in how we show up with cross‑functional stakeholders.
We’ve also introduced more consistent meeting rituals and improved efficiencies in our ways of working.
Thank you, Lora, for your wholehearted investment in my team.
-
Jodi
Federal Government of Canada
Lora has an energy that is contagious, and I knew it would have a positive impact on my team.
Our hope was to bring the team together and strengthen the feeling of ‘Team #1,’ and that is exactly what happened.
Working with Lora felt real. She is open, honest, and transparent, and she creates an environment where people feel safe enough to truly engage. Our workshop with her was amazing.
The experience was enlightening, invigorating, emotional, and incredibly rewarding.
As a result of the work, our team became more collaborative, inclusive, and supportive of one another.
One of the biggest breakthroughs came when team members began sharing deep personal experiences with the group. There was real vulnerability, trust, and connection in the room, and that changed the dynamic of the team in a meaningful way.
I would absolutely encourage others to trust and invest in Lora’s programs. It was one of the best investments we have made in our team.

Silvia Beltre
Chief Project Development Engineer, Ardurra
The Gallup strengths approach to leadership helps you understand your natural leadership talents and how to intentionally apply those strengths to overcome challenges and enhance performance. By participating in a group course, we gained valuable insight into the strengths of others within our leadership group, including their communication styles and unique approaches to problem-solving.Lora begins the day by sharing her personal story and reflecting on her own experiences. This sets the tone for the training that is grounded in authenticity, encouraging others to engage with the material in a meaningful way, share their own perspectives and ultimately allow us to maximize the value of the program.
What makes this program unique is its focus on team-based learning, allowing us to grow together rather than individually. This shared understanding of how each team member thinks and communicates fosters stronger collaboration and allows us to work more effectively towards common goals.
-
Caitlin White
Director and Head of Marketing, UK
We’ve been working with Lora for a while now, with our senior leadership team and the entire staff.
The ongoing senior leadership coaching is guiding us to develop in our roles, adapting to new responsibilities while working together towards our common goals.
It was important to us that we spent time identifying our strengths and this something we’ve looked at in leaderships but also with the wider team.
We recently took part in a full team coaching day, led by Lora, which helped us to navigate the dynamics within our team, looking at strengths, wellbeing and vision for the future.
I can’t recommend this enough.
Lora has a gift for engaging with people, and encouraging discussion and as a leadership team, we left with valuable insights direct from the team.
Our team were given dedicated time to put forward their ideas and we were able to communicate transparently as a team.
Lora’s guidance and exercises throughout the session enabled us to do this in a way we haven’t been able to achieve before.
If you’re looking for something that allows you to develop as a team, with a focus on the individuals that make up that team, I couldn’t recommend Lora more!

Sandra Heller
General Manager, Pharmaceuticals, Canada
In early 2023, I sought out a professional executive coach to assist, advise and coach our high performing leadership team to the “next level”.
By the time we arranged our day together, we’d received word our organization was being acquired.
Lora quickly pivoted to help support us as leaders go through the difficult unknowns not only for our teams but also for ourselves as individuals.
Lora’s partnership creates a perfect balance between coaching, mentoring, and challenging that has helped me, and the leadership team with our own development as a team and how we work and communicate together and has helped me personally grow my leadership capability and results.
Our work together has enabled me to be a more effective executive leader, creating a more flexible organization with one of, if not the best, teams I have worked with.
I could not be more pleased with the relationship and the demonstrable results and highly recommend Lora!

Simon Wordsworth
Owner of 59Club and Eminent Sports Group Ltd, UK
I am writing this a few days post our best educational conference yet, the feedback has been immense and Lora played a huge part in that.I was already aware of Lora’s skills related to high performance coaching and tasked her with sharing that to two differing skillset groups.
The first session was directed at 30 senior managers within a business looking at their own performance and how to step that up a level.
The second at a mixed management audience (trainee to senior) of a 100 delegates to introduce the concept of “coaching”, the “journey to high performance” and “what is common in high performing individuals”.
Lora presented with clarity and humility but above all was inspirational in delivering the message.
I have no hesitation at all in recommending Lora to work with your business on either a group or individual basis.
Please feel free to contact me for any further feedback, my businesses will work with Lora again shortly.

Will Hewitt
Market leading Customer Service and Sales Analysis for the UK Golf, Leisure and Spa Industry, UK
Lora joined us for our Annual Awards of Excellence at The Belfry Hotel in March 2022 to deliver a keynote on High Performance. The event hosted over 100 Managers from a selection of European and UK Resorts and Private Golf Clubs with the feedback on Lora's session being outstanding.
This was little surprise given the work which Lora had undertaken to fully understand both 59club and those who would be in attendance in order to tailor her presentation to best reflect the audience.
"Inspirational" is the word which most have used in their feedback!!
Thank you so much Lora, we would love to work with you again in the future.

Jan Andrews
The Mama Coach
I'm Jan, and I was at the planning with purpose seminar. I chose to go because of Lora Caven, and I knew that it would be an amazing opportunity to spend some time with an amazing person, and as it turned out, it was also an amazing group of people.
It surpassed my expectations, but it was nothing like I thought was going to happen. I actually thought it would be a strategic planning session where we wrote down goals and we worked through what we hoped to achieve in 2026
The event gave me way more than that. It helped me understand a new concept, and I've been doing goal setting with groups of people for over 30 years.
I'd never thought about what Lora was talking about, that which is capacity. So that will stick with me forever. It was very, very helpful.
And the people that were there were amazing, and the energy was amazing. The state that I came in with and the state that I left in were completely different, and the state that I remain in is very different as well.
I couldn't ask for anything more. A great day, great people, amazing leadership.

Lora, thank you very much for taking the time to come and do the seminar with us. I feel like the seminar was especially helpful in breaking down barriers across departments, which is always challenging based on the layout of our property.It was also interesting to reflect on the strengths generated from the report and think on tagible ways to utilize these strengths both at work and personally.
Thank you again! All the best.

There was a fantastic input from High Performance Leadership Coach, Lora Caven.
Her focus on understanding and using our leadership "levers" was a powerful reminder that effective leadership starts with self trust, self awareness and having the confidence to lead in a way that feels authentic.
