MORE ABOUT LAURIN
A graduate of Community Recreation Leadership Training, Laurin has long been interested in helping people to take care of themselves, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Soon after arriving in Whistler BC from Montreal, she started The Leisure Connection with a partner in order to connect the trickle of tourists that were just beginning to come to Whistler to the recreational operators. Laurin’s passion has always been about nature and getting people out to play together! The resort soon attracted corporate groups and Laurin developed theme productions, as she branched out on her own, as well as off site nature events. She also began building innovative team builders for fun but also to incorporate personal as well as organizational learning within the structures. The results were remarkable as people found themselves free of hierarchy and could connect on a deeper level with their co-workers and leaders. Play was also seen as a powerful means to open closed minds and permit sustainable learning. Once people played together, they discovered they could never go back to the same workplace.
For a number of years, Laurin led a very popular workshop at the annual Special Event Expo called The Power of Play. Many of Laurin’s clients such as destination management companies signed up just to have fun!
Laurin is presently offering consulting services to corporations globally, believing that all workplaces can benefit from her expertise wherever they may be and whatever their need. Laurin’s main talent is to help leaders find the best solutions to fit their need and help them figure out how to implement the wealth of opportunities.
