Lauren Glazer, ACC

Leveraging over two decades of experience in team and brand building, I help individuals, teams and organizations take their leadership to the next level.

I approach every challenge with a multidisciplinary perspective, deep sensitivity and voracious curiosity. And, as a former musical theater performer, sometimes jazz hands.

Lauren in Shanghai

Before launching my business as a leadership coach, I served as Chief Brand Officer for BCW, a top-three global communications firm, where I helped the organization articulate and activate the corporate brand strategy and employer brand, galvanizing more than 4,000 employees around a collective ambition.

Prior to BCW, I was a Principal at boutique strategic consulting firm Batten & Co. There I developed purpose-driven brand strategies working closely with executive leadership at Johnson & Johnson, Tiffany & Co. and Bluebird Bio, among other leading companies.

Earlier in my career, I held leadership roles at globally recognized advertising agencies Wieden+Kennedy, BBDO and gyro, partnering with clients from Delta Air Lines to Aramark and Lincoln Financial Group. I was fortunate enough to launch my career with one of the admired brands in the restaurant industry, The Union Square Hospitality Group, where I got my first taste of what great leadership, a purpose-driven culture and a supportive learning environment can unleash.


Sylvia the cat

When not coaching in-person or traveling the world delivering leadership development programs, Lauren can be found in the suburbs of NYC with her partner, their two daughters and 19-year-old cat Sylvia.

Progress is possible only when people have the tools they need to succeed.

If we want to see a return on our investments, we need to invest in our people.

Having worked for and with companies of all stripes, from matrixed multinationals to nimble upstarts, spanning industries from hospitality to healthcare, I’ve learned these lessons over and over again—often the hard way.

I’ve also learned that, as an investment, coaching is an impact multiplier, unleashing potential that leads to greater individual and collective success.
