The Journey to Integrity Ridge
Integrity Ridge represents an exciting evolution of Lorelei’s long-standing coaching and consulting practice. Her career path has taken many adventurous twists and turns; however, her ongoing quest to use her knowledge, skills, and experience to help others solve problems, overcome challenges, and uncover the best in themselves has never wavered.
The name Integrity Ridge emerged from Lorelei’s doctoral research on integrity development and her desire to inspire minds and transform lives by helping clients see themselves, their circumstances, and those around them from a fresh vantage point.
