CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
Learn my framework for getting these results!

I've had the pleasure of working with Lauren for 12 months on a sophisticated midstream project. From the first meeting with Lauren, several things immediately stood out; her high intelligence, unshakable positive attitude, and immediate grasp of the system's impacts on the engineering team.

Within days, Lauren streamlined the interface between the client's EDMS and her role as the conduit for navigating it. She explained and shaped something very confusing into something easy to follow and understand. She then established several excellent systems which greatly enhanced the coherence and internal workflows.

I've been in the engineering industry for 40 years and can confidently say that Lauren is the best Document Control Manager that I have ever worked with. She is pleasant, professional, intelligent and perceptive, with unparalleled positivity and work ethic. She is truly a Subject Matter Expert.

If you have the opportunity to take Lauren's courses and instruction, I strongly encourage you to do so. You will be learning from the very best.

Jack J.
President / COO,
CIPHERWARE INC.

Having worked with Lauren for multiple years, I witnessed her enthusiasm, energy and passion in all aspects of her job. These traits made Lauren an invaluable team member and motivated the organization to continuously improve.

Lauren brings many skills to the table, including her extensive history in document control and management capabilities, but her real strength is in her ability to identify business processes that are missing or deficient and identify and implement solutions quickly and effectively. She can bring teams together and generate the kind of collaboration required within any organization.

She has incredible interpersonal skills and generates strong trust with other personnel. These relationships, combined with her ability to utilize and deploy technology, manage and interpret data and understand business drivers, ensure that the results of her work are always fit-for-purpose and fit-for-culture solutions.

Stephen P.
Senior Project Manager
ATCO

Lauren worked within our team as the Document Control Lead and developed and implemented Secure’s processes for managing all project, engineering, and operations documentation.

During her time at Secure, Lauren proved to be a highly effective and invaluable team member. With little in place before her, she implemented a document control system that was industry-leading in our view.

Recognition of her work within our group also led to her involvement in corporate-wide initiatives that required the same level of expertise to set up and manage documents such as Management of Change, Health and Safety Management System, and Preventive Maintenance.

Lauren is extremely driven, efficient, and detailed. Her best quality, however, is that she’s an incredible person – caring, patient, sincere, with high moral standards, and a dedicated teammate who puts her all into everything she does.

Gary F.
General Manager, Projects
SECURE Energy

I had the pleasure of working with Lauren at two companies; Pengrowth Energy and SECURE Energy. I first worked with her at Pengrowth, where she supported me directly in my role as the Chief Inspector and various other departments and programs within the organization to meet their document control needs.

Soon after I moved to SECURE, the organization identified a need for a more structured and enhanced document control strategy. It was decided to start with the Technical Services group and gradually evolve into a larger corporate role. Lauren was quickly identified as the outstanding candidate.

Upon starting at SECURE, she immediately and positively impacted the organization by implementing a drawing management tool and quality control records system that received high praise from internal users and regulatory auditors.

I wholeheartedly recommend her for any endeavour she chooses to pursue.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
Course Reviews

With 15 years' experience in admin/records management, I thought document control would be easy. Until I sat in on a few engineering meetings and realized I knew nothing about document control.

This course taught me all the things I need to know, and all the things I didn't even know that I needed to learn. Highly recommend!

Rowan R.
Answered all my questions and more!

Right from the ease of use through the visuals and layout of the website, I was impressed with the course.

The content of the course material and the way it was presented exceeded my expectations. I enjoyed Lauren’s teaching style, and the modules kept me engaged. The presentations exude passion and competence, which make for an overall worthwhile experience.

Reviewing the many LGC templates has been a welcome added benefit. The resources provided are cross-referenced frequently to close gaps in my own knowledge as well as the processes and documents that I use.

Denis H.
Highly Recommend

Lauren's passion for document control is contagious and really comes through in the videos! I found the content incredibly easy to follow, and she explained the theory in a way that made sense for a beginner like me.

Laura J.

Incredible content!

Though I've been doing records management for years, Document Control is supported by, but is not records management. Well explained.

Excellent, easy-to-understand course

Excellent course for anyone in a document control role at all levels (junior to senior).

Colleen M.
The templates were particularly beneficial

This was a very good course that helped me learn the fundamentals of working in document control.

Document Control isn’t something I had ever done before, and now I have building blocks and actual definitions that will be extremely effective in changing how I communicate with our project team.

Lee-Anne
Great fundamentals course

I took this course out of curiosity because I thought it would give me some new skills for my paralegal career.

The way Lauren explained the topics made me realize that this program can be used to improve my whole information management system.

There's no other program that can improve your workflow and productivity in such a short time. I found it very useful and entertaining!

If you're struggling with document control, then you can't afford NOT to invest in this program. How much does an hour of your time cost spent searching for answers? Fixing avoidable mistakes? Or just feeling drained? Add those hours up over a few days, weeks, or months, and it's a lot! Far more than the small investment in yourself and this program. Now think of how much time you could save after you complete the course - easier and faster workflows, only one person working on a task (because you don't need help anymore), no more redundancies, and fewer hours spent on a task. PLUS, if you're currently employed, there's a good chance you can request and expense this course as part of your continuing education! This course is an investment in your future - for you and your organization.
Document Control is a critical component of Information Management that focuses on the creation, modification, review, issuance, distribution, and accessibility of controlled documents. My unique framework organizes these essential building blocks into strategic pillars that are built on top of an unbreakable foundation. This document control training is that foundation, and your cornerstone for success.
If your company has a professional development fund, you should ask your supervisor to expense your course! Even if it doesn’t, it is still worth asking about. An investment in your professional skills is an investment in the company's success!
If you have questions, I have answers! Email me anytime at [email protected] and I'll help you however I can!
That's the beauty of a digital program; you can go at your pace and at times convenient for you! Devour it in one sitting, or log in for 20 minutes a day when you can carve out time for yourself and your future. Investing in this program frees up time in your workday because you'll be spending less time searching for answers or fixing errors, which frees up time to focus on the tasks that matter!
Absolutely. That's how most document controllers learn how to do their job. Except it takes a LONG time to get there. And where are you sourcing your information from? Google? YouTube? Do you trust those sources? You can find anything online for free. But enrolling in a course provides speed, convenience, and trustworthy information. It took me 15 years to master what I know now. I wish I could have enrolled in training earlier, saved myself the headache of unlearning the wrong way of doing things, and advanced my career (and life) sooner! Enrolling in a course helps you learn the right way of doing things in a fraction of the time it would take for you to learn through trial and error.
