Trainer, Coach, Inspirational Speaker, Writer, TEDx Speaker


Lorraine’s personal coaching helped me narrow down my career choices and define my purpose. She advised, pointed out my points of strength, pinpointed my areas of improvement, and followed up on every single aspect related to my branding. I found her commenting on every Facebook post, on every tweet, on every Instagram post and even kept an eye on my LinkedIn. Lorraine is one of the best mentors I have ever had and met. She is always ready to give constructive feedback, edit and brainstorm with her mentee. The thing I like most about Lorraine is that she always guided me but never imposed her ideas or even influenced my decisions.  She always gave me my own space and time.

Lorraine's constructive and insightful feedback has been of immense value to me and I consider myself very lucky to have direct access to someone like her. She presented at our monthly educational event at Ellevate on an important topic of how to clarify one's personal brand. She has an effective style utilizing the telling of personal stories, giving relatable examples and offering easy-to-apply strategies. Her passion to help others in creating their brand and to become effective communicators ensures that all that work with her are successful. If you want to work with someone you can completely trust, Lorraine is the go-to person.

One of my deepest beliefs and highest values is that “being true to yourself is your fastest route to success”. And as a coach myself, I  value the effect a coach leaves in the client’s journey and life. Lorraine Taylor was the perfect coach at the perfect time; in an  experience that proved to me: she’s a great coach EVERY TIME for anyone who wants to be a WINNER without LOSING him- or herself.

Whether you want to emerge or expand globally, locally or even in your own organization, Lorraine is capable, in just the first session,  to help you identify who you truly are and what you are about. And hence, you will both navigate your “branding” in a way that you won’t have to compromise on your internal peace and happiness, nor will you have to give up your passion and dreams to reach out and make the difference you want in your world. And in all that, you won’t ever find that Lorraine imposes or injects  “outer” ideas, nor will you feel she’s too soothing and overlooking when it comes to pushing and challenging your limits. She will work with you, from you and for you.

I’m truly thankful that Lorraine was a great companion at a critical stage in my global reach as a professional speaker. I ACHIEVED my  objectives out of that coaching process. However, the rewards I ATTAINED, both outer and inner, are everlasting.

Lorraine's BEbrandYOU workshop, provided me the tools and practical steps to peel away the inhibiting and invalid identity layers I amassed through the years to be who I thought I should be to “fit in”. The workshop empowered me to deep-dive into my core principles, beliefs and values, to reveal my true authentic brand regardless of what I am doing and how the world around me is changing. Lorraine inspires, motivates and educates as she presents online and will continue to add value to audiences.

Before I started working with Lorraine on my speech I felt overwhelmed and lost. I had so much information I wanted to share and was confused about how much of my own story I put into the talk. During my first session with Lorraine we changed the whole structure of my talk to be more engaging and authentic to me. We looked at ways to connect with the audience and make a lasting impact with some visualisation exercises and tools.

The second follow up session was a practice run and this helped immensely with my confidence, getting feedback on what was working and what I could do better really helped me to have the confidence and belief in myself on stage, which is priceless. If I had continued without getting guidance from Lorraine, I would have stayed constantly questioning myself “is my speech ok?” “Am I doing it right?” Is the information too much or too little.” After each session with Lorraine, I felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders and mind.

I would recommend Lorraine to anyone who is looking to create and deliver an impactful speech whether in the corporate world or outside of it. Thank you Lorraine, I could not have done it without you.

I  am proud of my professional association with Lorraine Taylor, DTM. We have been associated through Toastmasters for the last five years.

Lorraine’s personal branding workshops are just that, “personal”. I have had the pleasure of attending a few of her workshops in the past few years. She has a gift of seeing the utmost potential in each person and assists them to realise their unique possibilities. I came away from her sessions with actions steps and ideas to implement. Her thoughtful coaching challenges, yet inspires, as she weaves her positive energy, listening skills, and experience into each session she leads. I have also had the privilege of benefiting from Lorraine’s mentoring as a speaking coach. She is an inspiring and successful speaker that willingly shares this with others to assist them in developing their skills as a communicator today.

The coaching sessions with Lorraine Taylor are quite valuable and enjoyable. Lorraine has innate ability to identify what tools and techniques a speaker needs in order to amplify their performance and to connect with an online audience through the screen or on stage. She offers practical and easy tips that help you understand what it is that your performance needs to get the message across. She helps you understand why a particular segment of the presentation needs a particular voice, movement or facial expression.

Lorraine Taylor personifies versatility. She is amazing at everything she does because she does it with passion, vigour and 100% commitment. As a Personal Branding Coach I have seen her in action and she delivers a professional, structured, knowledgable and custom built program. It is highly interactive and people friendly. I would certainly recommend her services to people who are interesting in building themselves up and creating a brand for themselves- as branding yourself is what separates you from the masses.
