Hello, I’m Laura (Benjamin) Lollar. I’ve worked throughout Colorado, the U.S., Canada, Germany and Great Britain and seen firsthand the energizing outcomes that occur when your team, board or partners work together in a relaxed, cooperative environment. Mutual respect forms when people interact in a purposeful setting with clear goals, an efficient agenda and guided dynamics. Your team will gain lasting results when they dialogue, plan for future successes and build trust. To discuss your upcoming facilitator needs, please email me.

Feedback from OrthoAccel 2-day Team-building Retreat and Marketing Summit in Breckenridge, Colorado
“Fantastic on both fronts – personally and professionally, I feel like we have moved to the next level as a team thanks to your help and work with us. Great job facilitating. I wish we’d had more time for team building exercises. The Team Profile was one of the highlights. You had just the right touch – moving us forward when necessary, creating a great environment for idea sharing.” —Kathleen Malaspina, Former Chief Innovation Officer and VP, Marketing
“It will help me tremendously. The Team Profile was terrific. Wish we’d had more time for more team exercises and more activities. You are awesome! Loved it!” —Alexandra Mazzi
“Overall great experience! Personally got to know the team better and professionally established hard objectives for the next month. I wish we’d had more time for establishing core value and brand attitude. The team profile was very insightful. I would recommend it for a gap analysis. The Start/Stop/Continue exercise was very helpful for laying out short/long term objectives.” —Lucia Vespoli, Aldente Group
“It was fantastic. Loved the team building exercises. Wish we’d had more time for specific brand developing items/objectives. Most certainly I’d recommend the Team Profile. Would love to do this with our team. I wish we had more cross-functional team participation.” —Esenam Asembri
“Very well planned and executed! Learned so much about others and excited to move forward with TEAM! A lot of items were covered, but I think it would have been great to spend a few hours on communicating vision to broader organization —> brainstorm session. Yes, I’d recommend the Team Profile to others. The info was highly accurate and accompanying guidance documents are great resources. Laura is truly one of a kind! Knowledgeable, gracious and effective facilitator!” —Zaffer Syed, former Director, Clinical and Regulatory Affairs
“Personally, the individual profiles and a better understanding of colleagues helped me. Professionally, being able to communicate things that I previously wasn’t able to because of lack of platform. Wish we’d had more time for Next Steps and Future Planning. The Team Profile was spot on! I’d recommend it to others by saying Laura did a fantastic job of explaining how to benefit from knowing each others priorities. Laura is excellent overall, but especially in keeping us on track and pushing us on ideas that were mentioned.! —Kristin Taylor, Senior Account Executive, Carbonara Group
“Great teamwork. Useful to know each other. I learned a lot about other areas of the company. Wish we’d had more time for concrete marketing planning. I liked the Team Profile very much. Great approach to different topics.” —Alexjandro Raizman, CEO, Aldente Group
“Great format – building team synergy and generating quality work product. Wish we’d had more time for action plans/prioritizing the Start/StopContinue items. I would recommend the Team Profile to others and in fact, would like Laura to conduct the Team Profile segment for my team if possible. I thought it was a well thought out program and progression to the last and most important exercise.” —Cherri Carbonara, Principal, Carbonara Group
“I thought it was great. The content was well developed and Laura did a wonderful job facilitating the meeting. Wish we’d had more time for learning to work more effectively with the varying types of personalities. Yes, I have benefitted personally and professionally through the Team Dimensions Evaluation – it enables me to work more effectively with others. I think the profile is very effective in learning where our team has strengths and weaknesses. I would recommend others use it to their advantage in identifying strong and weak links. Next time, I would like to try to engage our fellow team members as to the importance of our group summit prior to the meeting and give them clear expectations on when they may expect return emails, calls, etc.” —Kris Kelly, Former Director, Marketing
