”Lorraine Taylor was the perfect coach at the perfect time; in an experience that proved to me: she’s a great coach EVERY TIME.”

One of my deepest beliefs and highest values is that “being true to yourself is your fastest route to success”. And as a coach myself, I  value the effect a coach leaves in the client’s journey and life. Lorraine Taylor was the perfect coach at the perfect time; in an  experience that proved to me: she’s a great coach EVERY TIME for anyone who wants to be a WINNER without LOSING him- or herself.

Whether you want to emerge or expand globally, locally or even in your own organization, Lorraine is capable, in just the first session,  to help you identify who you truly are and what you are about. And hence, you will both navigate your “branding” in a way that you won’t have to compromise on your internal peace and happiness, nor will you have to give up your passion and dreams to reach out and make the difference you want in your world. And in all that, you won’t ever find that Lorraine imposes or injects  “outer” ideas, nor will you feel she’s too soothing and overlooking when it comes to pushing and challenging your limits. She will work with you, from you and for you.

I’m truly thankful that Lorraine was a great companion at a critical stage in my global reach as a professional speaker. I ACHIEVED my  objectives out of that coaching process. However, the rewards I ATTAINED, both outer and inner, are everlasting.

I wouldn’t be the person I am today without Lorraine. She enabled me to find my unique self (brand), to trust my voice, write my stories and claim my identity. 
 
Lorraine's BE!brandYOU workshop, not only offered me the practical tools to peel away the inhibiting and invalid identity layers I amassed through the years - to be who I thought I should be to ‘fit in’- but, and more importantly, the workshop enabled me to deep dive into me to reveal my core principles, beliefs, and values. This process allowed me to recognize and acknowledge my true authentic brand (self) that will guide my actions, decisions, and behaviors. Lorraine helped me appreciate, that regardless of how my circumstances will change, or how the environment and the world around me will change, my authentic brand should, and must, remain steady, stable, and constant. 
 
As a result of the workshop, I have clarity and awareness of who I am, what I stand for, and how unique and authentic my brand is. My personal brand, has been my rock of Gibraltar keeping me grounded, focused, and on course towards achieving and realising my personal and professional goals. 
 
Thank you, Lorraine, for continuing to delve into the concepts of identity, personal branding, and purpose, and inspiring, motivating, and enabling me, and everyone around you to BE!

”After each session with Lorraine, I felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders and mind.”

Nicola Beer

Relationship and Connection Specialist Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Dubai, UAE

Before I started working with Lorraine on my speech I felt overwhelmed and lost. I had so much information I wanted to share and was confused about how much of my own story I put into the talk. During my first session with Lorraine we changed the whole structure of my talk to be more engaging and authentic to me. We looked at ways to connect with the audience and make a lasting impact with some visualisation exercises and tools.

The second follow up session was a practice run and this helped immensely with my confidence, getting feedback on what was working and what I could do better really helped me to have the confidence and belief in myself on stage, which is priceless. If I had continued without getting guidance from Lorraine, I would have stayed constantly questioning myself “is my speech ok?” “Am I doing it right?” Is the information too much or too little.” After each session with Lorraine, I felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders and mind.

I would recommend Lorraine to anyone who is looking to create and deliver an impactful speech whether in the corporate world or outside of it. Thank you Lorraine, I could not have done it without you.

”Lorraine’s personal coaching helped me narrow down my career choices and define my purpose.”

Sadika Kebbi

Lebanon

Lorraine's personal coaching helped me to narrow down my career choices and define my purpose. She advised, pointed out my strengths, pinpointed my areas of improvement, and followed up on every single aspect related to my branding. I found her commenting on how I was interacting on social media to better strategise ways to connect and communicate. She assisted me with my LinkedIn profile by offering suggestions and strategies.

Lorraine is one of the best mentors I have ever had and met. She is always ready to give constructive feedback, edit and brainstorm with her mentee. The thing I liked most about Lorraine is that she always guided me but never imposed her ideas or even influenced my decisions. She always gave me my own space and time.
