Testimonials for Lauren Fried
“Lauren was part of a panel centred on what Australian private businesses were doing to attract and retain talent. The audience comprised more than 100 PwC clients and contacts.
Lauren’s performance on the night was fantastic. She spoke articulately about the challenges facing private business and was open about how she was tackling these in her own business.
Feedback on the night for all speakers was overwhelmingly positive and a number of people commented to me it was great to see a young female entrepreneur and leader sharing her insights.
I have no hesitation in recommending Lauren for speaking events and look forward to working with her again in the future.”
Joanna Moore - Director, PWC
“Lauren was a panellist at our Employee Week ‘Women in Leadership” discussion in front of 150 female staff members. Lauren’s contribution to the discussion was relevant, succinct and she engaged the audience in a friendly and approachable manner. She answered any question without hesitation but with thoughtful insights and honesty.
Lauren was also a guest speaker at an event in North Sydney with an audience of Westpac business customers. Lauren was able to produce a presentation that was specific to the audience and completely engaged the room. Her content was perfectly matched to the type of audience and she delivered the presentation in an interesting, honest and engaging way.
Feedback on Lauren from both events was overwhelmingly positive.
I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Lauren Fried as a great speaker and I know we will be requesting to use her skills in the future should she be willing.”
