Lori works with entrepreneurial professionals (often in sales) to improve their relationship building abilities, so they can find more clients, strategic partners, and career success.

Despite starting life as an extremely shy child - her report cards regularly included, "Lori is very bright but she needs to learn how to speak up in class." - Lori has become a nationally recognized marketing expert, master networker and relationship-builder.


In 2003, she launched Zen Rabbit Baking Company and introduced the world to The Gratitude Cookie. In order to build that company, she had to overcome her hesitancy to talk to strangers, and learn how to network effectively to find clients and referral sources.


Today, Lori works with entrepreneurial professionals (often in sales) to improve their relationship building abilities, so they can find more clients, strategic partners, and career success.

Her insight comes from more than 25 years of experience in marketing and communications. Before starting the baking company, she worked as an on-air radio personality in South Florida.


Outside of business, you can find Lori in the weight room at the gym. Or you might see her running outdoors, because she also loves eating and baking.
