30,000+ professionals trained. Fortune 100 & 500 companies advised. 28 years helping people actually use the technology they buy. This is what that experience looks like.
She is here to help you build something that works today, with the people you already have.
She has been in the room. A lot of rooms, actually.
Lauren started her career in staffing and spent 28 years watching technology arrive inside organizations. She noticed a pattern. The tools were getting better. The adoption was not.
She founded Leap Advisory Partners to solve that problem. The idea was simple: help organizations not just buy technology, but actually build the habits, the training, and the culture to use it well. She called it Build. Change. Adopt.
Since then, she has advised Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 companies, global workforce leaders, and organizations across healthcare, legal, technology services, and professional services. She has built a proprietary change management framework called the 3-Five Approach. She has become a certified EOS practitioner. She has spoken at some of the most respected stages in the world.
She does not think of herself as an AI guru. She thinks of herself as someone who has done the work long enough to know what actually moves people from resistant to capable, and who genuinely loves helping organizations get there.
Some of the stages she has had the privilege of standing on

A few of the organizations she has worked with

The framework she built because nothing else was working
Lauren noticed early in her career that technology training usually failed for the same reason: it taught the tool but not the adoption. People would leave a workshop knowing how to use the software and then go back to doing things the way they always had. She spent years figuring out why. The answer was not a better training deck. It was a different sequence. She is a certified EOS practitioner, and she has built her own framework on top of that foundation: the 3-Five Approach.
Functional in 5 Days
The team is using the tool from day one, not after a two-week onboarding.
Independent in 5 Weeks
The team does not need hand-holding. They own the workflow.
Training Champions in 5 Months
The team is now training each other. The adoption sustains itself.
AI and automation handle repetition. People handle relationships.
This is the system she runs inside her current enterprise engagements. And it is the reason people come back.
Words from people who went through the training
These are verbatim. Every one of them describes a behavior change, not just a good experience.
"I am grateful to Lauren for helping me learn about this fascinating and rapidly developing field. I am amazed by the potential of AI to solve some of the world's most pressing problems, and I am excited to be a part of this growing community."

The Advance Group"You have opened my eyes to what AI can do. I heard of it but never used it till now. Now I use it all the time."

The Advance Group"Great course, I highly recommend it."
Stacey Bigelow, The Advance Group"Lauren was very engaging and really helped me better understand AI. I had no experience with AI and this was my first introduction to it. Very informative."
HW Staffing"Training is well planned and keeps you engaged."
HW Staffing"Lauren explained the topic clearly and kept me engaged the whole time. I had no knowledge of the different AI tools and in what capacity to use them. AI can simplify one's day."
HW Staffing"AI does not seem so scary anymore."
HW Staffing"I learned a lot of information and tips in a short amount of time. Lauren is definitely an expert in this topic."
HW StaffingThree ways to bring Lauren in
Executive AI Training
For organizations that have bought the tools and need their people to actually use them.
Lauren starts every engagement with what she calls a Reverse Demo: she sits in the seat of the end user first, maps the actual experience, and then designs the training around what people really need, not what looks good in a deck.
From there, she builds the program around the 3-Five Framework and the specific technology the team is using. She has done this for Fortune 100 companies. She has done it for small teams and large ones. She can do it for yours.
- Half-day workshops
- Full-day intensives
- Multi-week implementation programs
- 1:1 executive AI coaching
Keynote Speaking
For event organizers who want their audience to leave with something they can actually use.
Lauren does not give the generic AI keynote. She gives the one that grounds the conversation in real organizational experience and sends people home with a framework they can apply on Monday morning.
She has been a returning main-stage speaker at ASA Staffing World. She has spoken to 10,000 attendees at the World Staffing Summit. She has facilitated workshops and led AI strategy sessions at TechServe Alliance and the SIA Executive Forum. She prefers a conversation to a lecture, and audiences tend to notice the difference.

Lauren does not just advise on AI. She builds the platforms and writes the books to teach it.
Leap Advisory Partners
The vendor-agnostic technology advisory firm Lauren founded. Built on three pillars: Build, Change, and Adopt. Clients include Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 companies, global workforce leaders, and enterprise organizations across healthcare, legal, and technology services.

AI training built specifically for women who want to lead in the AI era. Women's jobs are three times more likely to be disrupted by AI. Women are currently using AI 25% less than men. Lauren built this because it needed to exist.

Buy on Amazon →A few questions she gets asked a lot
Yes. She works with Fortune 100 companies and global workforce leaders at enterprise scale. She has worked with Korn Ferry, Adecco Group, Airswift, and Solomon Page. Large organizations are where her frameworks were built and tested.
Most AI training teaches the tool. Lauren's programs are built around behavior change. The 3-Five Framework is designed specifically for the moment when the workshop ends and real life begins. The goal is not a good session. The goal is adoption that lasts.
Resistance is almost always a change management problem, not a technology problem. Lauren has spent 28 years working through it. She has the methodology, the patience, and the track record to move resistant teams from skeptical to capable.
She has been inside the organizations, not just in front of them. She has managed the resistance, built the training infrastructure, and measured whether the adoption actually happened. The credentials are real. The client list is documented. The frameworks came from the work, not the other way around.
Yes. Individual workshops and shorter formats are available, and the 3-Five Framework scales in both directions. What does not change is the quality of the work.
If you are trying to close the gap between buying AI and using it, Lauren has been doing exactly that for 28 years.
She has done it for Fortune 100 companies. She has done it for teams of ten. She has written the book on it, literally.
She would love to help you do it too.
