Everyone, regardless of the leadership context, will benefit from Lori’s teaching on emotional and spiritual development of leaders. She has done a master-full job of weaving the best from psychosocial-spiritual academic research with down-to-earth story narratives from her own and others’ redemptive journeys to illustrate just what transformational leadership looks like in our culture today for tomorrow.

Lori was the speaker for our Summer Women’s Retreat in 2017. She gave form to the retreat by suggesting the topic, outlining the sessions then presenting at each session in the most compelling and heartfelt manner; she is an excellent public speaker. Our retreat was a huge success because of her direction and willingness to work with us in our setting. – Reverend Rebecca Watkins, Community Presbyterian Church of Lee Vining.

We recently invited Lori Ciccarelli Stotko to be the featured speaker at our women’s spring tea, and I have to say our women’s ministry team was so happy and impressed with Lori’s preparation, adherence to our theme, and passionate delivery of her message! Her deep love of God and His word absolutely shines through everything she says and does. Not only would I invite Lori back to speak at more events for our church, I have already recommended her to other churches in our area. This woman is a gem!

When Lori came to present a day-long workshop for healthcare professionals, we were blessed. Her intelligent passion for people is grounded in spiritual maturity that has been thoroughly tested by her life’s journey. Her presentations are interesting, evidence-based, and practical. Most of all, they are inspiring.

She is a fantastic leader and has many attributes that emerging leaders are drawn to. – Theresa Dessert, RN, BSN; Nurse Educator
