this.us.now. offers playful professional development opportunities for leaders and teams. We are experts in the practical applications of learning through play. Play is an underrated and underutilized tool that can empower people to build safer, more inclusive, and more equitable spaces and communities

When done well, playful environments provide low-barrier entry points for addressing complicated/nuanced subjects and building strong, trusting, and productive relationships. If people are able to play, they can more easily dive into co-creation, understanding, and progress – even when coming from dramatically different perspectives, experiences, or backgrounds. We create spaces for shared experiences and low-stakes, playful practice, in order to focus on areas of growth like leadership / team development, diversity and inclusion, organizational strategy, and communication. Theory is nothing without application; so, we teach and inform, but also invite people to play and practice with us.

Lauren has facilitated interactive workshops as well as been a keynote speaker for groups of all sizes and ages. She has previously presented sessions both independently and with this.us.now. at various organizations/companies (Dome Construction, Old Pal, Bet Tzedek Legal Services), schools (University of Michigan, Flint), and summits/conferences (BambooHR, World Domination Summit, Hivery Summit).

Curiosity, courage, and compassion are the pillars that lead to a fulfilled life. I find the greatest joy in exploring - whether it is traveling the world, hiking to new heights, or coaching leaders and teams on their agile journey.

My journey shifted from traditional project management to Scrum Master to Agile Coach to coach of coaches, to Enterprise Coach. And I've been fortunate to lead agile teams in marketing, modeling & simulation, and cyber security, before making my way to IT. I have coached in a diverse set of companies including Google, Southwest Airlines, ExxonMobil, IBM and the Dept of Defense - taking an integral approach that values mindset, culture, and business outcomes as critical to achieving agility. I believe the true measure of agility lies within the individual, not a process. My passions are co-creating with others and celebrating the "aha” moments of collaboration, innovation, and learning.

I hold two ICAgile Certified Expert designations - one in Agile Team Coaching and the other in Enterprise Coaching. This means I very clearly recognize there is so much more for me to learn! I am also an ICF-ACC professional coach focused on creating environments for others to discover their inner strengths. My colleague Erin Randall and I co-founded the Agile Coaching Circles - a monthly meetup focused on providing a safe space for people to practice their coaching skills. Connect with me on LinkedIn!
