Lauren Mackler has successfully helped individuals and organizations master the challenges of change and reach the next level of their success since 1982. Recognized as a leading expert in optimizing individual and organizational performance, she is frequently featured in The Wall Street Journal, The Boston Globe, and The Boston Business Journal, as well as in other publications, television, and radio. Her company, Lauren Mackler & Associates (LMA), was recognized by Vitals Magazine as one of the top five coaching firms in the U.S. and the best in Boston. Lauren's new book, Speaking of Success, with fellow authors Jack Canfield and Stephen Covey, will be published in the spring of 2007. Fueled by her passion for helping people and organizations become the best they can be, she founded LMA in 2001. LMA's services include personal and professional coaching programs that help individuals unleash their greatest potential in their personal lives, relationships, and careers, and executive coaching, corporate consulting, and training programs that help leaders develop high-performing, people-centric organizations. Unlike most coaches' and consultants' backgrounds, which typically lie either in psychology or business, Lauren's education and expertise in both fields, as well as her extensive experience as a psychotherapist, corporate executive, consultant, and coach enables her to work effectively with clients in a variety of areas critical to achieving optimal personal and professional performance. Prior to founding LMA, Lauren led Andersen's People Strategy and HR Management consulting practice, served as Vice President of Learning and Organizational Development at Boston Financial, and worked as a Senior Career Management Consultant at Right Management. She lived in Europe for eight years, where she had a private practice as a psychotherapist and workshop facilitator, receiving national recognition for her work in using mental modeling and reframing techniques to help clients enhance personal and professional performance and results. Before transitioning to her current career in 1982, Lauren was in the entertainment field, serving as TV host with Matt Lauer on the PM Magazine television show and as a member of the recording group, Tuxedo Junction. Drawing from her background in business, psychology, and entertainment, Lauren frequently appears as a keynote speaker to corporations, academic institutions, and professional conferences, and is a member of the National Speaker's Association. Lauren is an Adjunct Faculty member at Northeastern University and the Boston and Cambridge Centers for Adult Education. She holds a Master's degree in Organizational Development, a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Psychology, and is a graduate of the Lee Strasberg Acting Institute.
