Testimonials | What our clients say about our work:

Beloved Community, GRTL is here for you during this global pandemic. Shared leadership resources for your team HERE!

One-on-One Work

This work is about whole person leadership — exploring the most effective ways for leaders to address opportunities and challenges, always aligning head, heart and spirit to create a more just, sustainable and humane world.
— Deb Nelson, Former Executive Director, Social Venture Network
This is the work of the soul, the internal work that allows for shifting mindset and heartset. This work is vital to business and how we move toward a just, harmonious and sustainable planet.
— Rha Goddess, Founder, Move the Crowd

Facilitating Group Work

“There are seminars and lectures and tutorials — and then there is the experience of learning about shared leadership by the team at Global Round Table Leadership. It’s, well, magic, is the word that comes to mind. When a room full of people practice listening with their whole brains and hearts, when we understand that leadership comes from anywhere and in all shapes and sizes, when the contours of a new understanding of how to be better all together come into focus, that’s when a new way of being and leading in the world becomes possible. But you won’t know that until you get in the room with Global Round Table Leadership.”
— Allison Fine, guide and thought leader in the "social media revolution"
This work impacted our organization by bringing the team together, breaking down functional silos and helping us move through conflict. We have a clearer purpose and more accountability, and we are reaching much more positive results.

GRTL’s facilitation helped us realize it’s not just about getting the work done, but how we do it. When we started paying more attention to the process and interacting with each other authentically, we were much more effective. And it was so much more meaningful.

Community Building

We tuned in to where faculty, students and staff were at and what our community needed to move towards growth and wholeness. We created an environment that was optimal for learning.

About Lori Hanau

Lori Hanau is one of the most skilled facilitators I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She is an attentive and thoughtful listener, a patient and kind sounding board, and a brilliant processor. She is able to “hear” what hasn’t been said and make space for what needs to be said. She is truly gifted in the art of facilitation.
— Marcella Runnell Hall, NYU Center for Spiritual Life
Lori is extremely skilled at uncovering each person’s unique gifts and insights. She’s a natural at getting people engaged, connected and inspired, constantly practicing the art of what’s possible.
— Deb Nelson, Former Executive Director, Social Venture Network
