Lauren Yarnell | Harvard University Extension School (original) (raw)

Founder and CEO of Universe Pondering LLC

I am highly adept at learning new applications and technologies fast and efficiently; extremely organized, team-oriented, and dedicated; and have outstanding interpersonal, communication, and customer service skills, using best practices to help colleagues and clients.

I help entrepreneurs who are seeking mentorship and mindset training manifest the courage and motivation to achieve their most ambitious goals by utilizing proven techniques based on my research. Specifically, I work with my clients to reverse-engineer personal development strategies by examining how their subconscious minds are currently operating so that they can let go of self-limiting beliefs with a visual roadmap so that we both know exactly what they need to do to hit those goals that will improve their personal and professional lives.

I study the connection between mindfulness and cognitive science at Harvard. I've discovered a calling in assisting others in delving deeply into the implications of these topics as a turning point for someone trying to reduce the severity of PTSD if they are a war veteran, for example. I believe that understanding how to help those who feel the most dejected by society develop the capacity for self-compassion is my calling.

I am the host of the podcast "The Universe Pondering Itself" (subscribe on Spotify!)

I work well under pressure.

I enjoy working alone and outside. I also have knowledge of wildlife management and am trained in project management and execution. I have strong analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making capabilities and am able to analyze logistical structures, quickly identify existing or potential problems, and recommend solutions.
