Why Storytime with Lori Exists
Life doesn’t come with a script — but it sure comes with stories.
Storytime with Lori was created for the in-between moments: the pivots, the reinventions, the conversations we don’t always have space for. It’s where humor meets honesty, and real life becomes real learning.
This is a place for people navigating leadership, identity, career crossroads, parenting, queerness, and the beautifully messy work of becoming. No perfection required. Just presence, curiosity, and a willingness to tell the truth.

What I Believe
CHAPTER ONE
Seeing Yourself Clearly
Stories shape us — the ones we tell out loud and the ones we carry quietly.
I believe imperfections deserve to be celebrated, vulnerability is a strength, and reinvention isn’t optional — it’s inevitable.
The moments we try to hide are often the ones that connect us most. When we name them, share them, and laugh at them, they stop owning us. That’s where growth begins.
CHAPTER TWO
Leading Through Reinvention
With over 15 years of experience leading channel and GTM strategy inside Fortune 50 and global enterprise environments, I help organizations and individuals navigate transformation with clarity, courage, and heart.
My work lives at the intersection of:
-
Leadership and identity
-
Reinvention and resilience
-
Business strategy and humanity
CHAPTER THREE
Story as Strategy
Storytelling is a tool for connection, healing, and change.
Whether through consulting, speaking, or Storytime with Lori, my goal is simple:
to help people see themselves clearly — and move forward honestly.
