What people are saying about my work

  • “Lori Cohen truly transformed my practice. It is not often that you go into a professional development where each sentence needs to be written down and saved for later because she is filled with endless nuggets of wisdom. I simply could not recommend her more enthusiastically.”

    Molly H., Inclusion Coach

  • "Lori's ability to infuse even the most complex coaching moments with joy and wit makes learning from her a delight. Lori challenges me to see things from new perspectives and encourages personal growth as well as professional growth. Learning with Lori has truly been a transformative experience."

    Emma S., Mentor

  • "I can't speak highly enough of Lori Cohen as a consultant. Her PD is filled with knowledge, empathy, ideas, and clear instruction. I am going into this school year as a brand-new instructional coach, and I feel so much more equipped after her PD on leading teams. It was the most helpful PD I have ever been to, hands down."

    Jessica F., Multilingual/Dual Language Facilitator and Instructional Coach

What I do

I strive to contribute to the healing and repair of the world.

Drawing on a concept called tikkun olam in the Jewish tradition, I believe each of us can do our part to ensure individuals and communities can have what they need to live fully and with dignity.

I do my part through acts of creativity—learning design, workshops, conversations, and writing—that allow us to reflect, learn a lot, experience joy, be challenged, connect with one another, and collectively, contribute to a more just and joyful world.

What it’s like to work with Lori

“Lori Cohen is bright, engaged, and positively present.  She has the incredible gift of being articulate and clear, providing a grounding space to be honest, self-reflective, and even messy.

The work I did with Lori gave me the courage and confidence to navigate spaces I thought were unimaginable.”

Ascha D, Art Teacher & Instructional Coach
