"I am so glad I came to this training!

Accessible, thought provoking, interesting, dynamic,
fun, engaged and powerful
There is, in my opinion, no one else who can quickly assess an audience and pivot in the moment to ensure the fastest learner in the room stays on the edge of their chair while the others feel included and challenged. Her passion for ensuring leaders challenge themselves to be their best is unmatched. I have frequently referred top level leaders to her for coaching because I recognize the level of coaching, she provides is really what they want and need.
I had the great privilege of working with Olivia Lockwood over the past year on a series of trainings Olivia provided to executives from some of Microsoft’s most successful partners in the US. This group includes very accomplished business leaders and entrepreneurs, most of whom have strong opinions they are not at all afraid to share – and their collective feedback about Olivia is nothing short of remarkable. I have never seen this group agree on anything like they agreed on Olivia. She is a wonderful person and a phenomenal trainer - Microsoft partner executives rated her 4.91 on a scale of 0 to 5 for the impact and value of her training.
I engaged Olivia in several ways while I was a business leader at CEB: facilitator, coach, and content design thought partner. In each aspect Olivia did a great job to reach the goals set out in advance and facilitate a productive, business applicable session. One of the most valuable jobs she did for me was coaching one of my team members who was struggling significantly with the transition from independent contributor to manager of a large team. She wouldn't have made it without Olivia's coaching. The transformation in her was impressive and she went on to lead the team successfully for the next 3 years, taking on more team members and responsibility. Olivia is a great contributor to the content design process - she contributed useful, though provoking ideas and helped design thoughtful exercises that demonstrated the given concepts.
