Rebecca brings over 15 years to her facilitation work, specializing in communication and collaboration skills.

Before joining LifeLabs, Rebecca worked in complex operations for non-profit and legal organizations, and developed and delivered training for hundreds of companies in creativity, adaptability, and public speaking skills. These experiences helped her appreciate the complexities of organizational dynamics and made her passionate about helping people be more effective and more engaged at work through focusing on behavior changes. 

In the room, Rebecca is known for her dynamism, energy, and warmth, and her ability to apply learners’ concerns to material. She ardently believes that approaching challenging topics with respect and play fosters vulnerability and a growth mindset, leading to better workplaces for everyone.

Outside of work, she’s likely on a bicycle or behind a book.

Which LifeLabs Learning value most resonates with you? +-
Find a Way to Play is central to my personal life philosophy and I just love that it is one of LifeLabs Learning’s values. I believe playfulness fosters curiosity, reduces judgment, and increases connection. I believe finding a way to play enables trust-building, risk-taking, and learning, and also just makes things more joyful on the daily.

What Changed for Learners

“I really appreciated Rebecca’s ability to relate the information and intention of the workshop to each individual career, even when they were so diverse. She also made me feel like she was actively listening to our contributions as if it was a conversation amongst us all and not a one-way exchange of information.”
