Professional Coach, ACC
Hello! My name is Lauren Wolanski, and I'm a Public Speaking & Communication Consultant and Professional Coach based out of Toronto, Canada.
My Education and Experience
I help clients become confident and compelling speakers, communicators and leaders. I have worked with professionals across a wide variety of industries and companies including Instacart, Intact Insurance, JAAG Properties, Scotiabank, Shaw Media, Roseland Group and Rogers.
I am a graduate of the University of Toronto's joint program with Sheridan College for Theatre and Drama Studies, where I received an Honours Bachelor of Arts in theatre with a minor in English and a diploma in acting. I have also obtained the Associate Certified Coach (ACC) certification from the International Coaching Federation (ICF) while studying at the ADLER Graduate Professional School.
All the World’s a Stage
Given my extensive background in classical theatre training and experience working professionally as an actor, my coaching work focuses on helping clients create meaningful and powerful connections both in work and in their personal lives. It is incredible how the tools learned in theatre training can assist one in becoming a more compelling, articulate, and well-rounded speaker.
In addition to coaching, I have spent the last eight years working as a teaching artist in Toronto. As the program director at Electric Moon Theatre Company and a teaching artist at Young People’s Theatre, I have created, implemented, and taught arts education programs from the ground up. I have been lucky to lead theatre workshops and in-class programs in schools across Ontario, as well as virtually. I strive to build students’ confidence, creativity, and self-expression.
Theatre & public speaking go hand in hand
My ultimate goal is to provide my clients the tools they need to engage, motivate and captivate their audiences and present confidently within groups. I look forward to working with you and helping you reach your goals!
Become the compelling speaker, communicator and leader you've always dreamed of being.

Find your authentic voice, build your self-esteem and strengthen your confidence for a ‘new,’ true you.
Often, we hide parts of ourselves that we’ve learned to supress over time, usually because we fear that they might hinder us.
We’ll explore how these qualities are what make us unique, interesting and special. Learn to tap into your genuine self, speak your mind, and feel more empowered.
In this workshop, participants will learn how to lead with gratitude, follow their impulses and express themselves with clarity, enthusiasm and directness to live a happier life.
