Dr. Lori Schwartz Reichl
is the visionary thought leader of Making Key Changes. She is a champion of mentorship and motivation. As an author, educator, and podcaster, she is a sought-after motivational speaker and consultant.
Dr. Reichl’s career began in music education where she learned the importance of a key change — a shift in the tonal center of a piece of music, often used to inject energy or produce significance. She eventually realized the impact of making key changes in all areas of her life. Since transitioning out of one classroom as a public school educator, Dr. Reichl has uniquely created a global classroom for her work. She guides organizations, teams, and individuals to create and maintain a shared vision by making key changes in our communities, companies, classrooms, and careers to unlock our greatest potential in collaboration with those we love, serve, and lead.
