Lorrie Forde is a daughter, a mother, a sister, a grandma, and a friend. She learned the hard way that balance is her secret ingredient in the analogy of a full and healthy 'cookie jar'.

During a lifetime of learning that includes a twenty-five year career in post-secondary education and work as a professional Executive, Business, and Life Coach, Lorrie has gathered the experience and the stories that make her a powerful and engaging speaker.

The Mission Statement of Lorrie's company, Mountaintop Coaching, is 'Linking Your Dreams With Your Reality' and her work as a Coach affords her the opportunity to live her own passion in her work. "I believe no one needs a coach but that everybody deserves to have one. Through my book, Really Good F Words, I was able to make that possible. I invite my readers to have fun with the process and to trust that their answers will come—they always do."

Lorrie's audiences describe her as entertaining, open, and easy to believe.  Her open and authentic style is enhanced through anecdotal stories, personal adventures, and a lifetime of taking big bites out of life.

Lorrie loves to fill her days with adventure and laughter. She enjoys her work and says, "I work hard but I work to live—I don't live to work."
