OUR BEGINNING
IT STARTED WITH A PILLOW...
After continuously getting bored of her professors reading straight from PowerPoint slides or from the textbook, Laura Train, Founder/CEO, brought a pillow to class. That act changed the course of her life.
She now channels her insatiable creativity and passion into highly interactive, informative, memorable, and enjoyable training experiences.
She has never seen a pillow or sleeper in any of her classes!
Laura Train, Founder/CEO Laura N. Train Consulting, LLC DBA Integrity TRAINing Solutions
Like a character in a book, Laura, an award-winning trainer, has the ability to bring any course content to life and keep students engaged. A natural storyteller, she has been known to write short plays to emphasize the course content complete with tickets, a program, and popcorn!
Laura retired from the federal Senior Executive Service after 25 years, and after serving in 20 different roles. Her executive positions included:
- Chief Learning Officer
- Chief Data Officer
- Associate Commissioner responsible for national marketing and communications
- Associate Commissioner responsible for over 3000 data exchanges, policy publications, and international negotiation
Laura has designed and delivered hundreds of top-quality leadership and development training courses to thousands of public/private employees at all levels, and across multiple platforms.
Laura wants to recognize her “one to grow on” mentor, Phil Monetti, for helping to make this dream come true.
