About Lori

A speech-language pathologist with seventeen years experience as a clinician, educator, writer and rehabilitation manager, Lori O’Hara founded C2 in response to the world’s growing need for excellent communication.

The communicative challenges faced by businesses who use international employees, who strive for efficiency and efficacy in a tight economy and who are looking for the roadmap to better customer service were immediately comprehensible to someone who has helped grow businesses from the ground up, who understands leadership demands in large organizations, and who has years of experience in communicative improvement and enhancement.  Seeing the potential in ever-evolving technology to reach companies all over the world, Lori founded C2 as a way to bring her unique blend of expertise to whomever needed it, wherever their physical address.

Also having seen the questions and concern of parents in forums and blogs, Lori launched a site dedicated to the unique needs of parents in search of tools to raise their children as great communicators. Your Child Talking is an educational resource for parents to answer questions, connect with other parents, or schedule one-on-one consultations.

Lori has lived and worked in Europe as a clinician and trainer and she celebrates a world brought closer by better communication.  Lori believes that communication is where everything starts, and how anything gets done. So it better be exceptional.

“Lori is dedicated and passionate about her work. The energy and enthusiasm Lori brings is contagious and working with her is not only beneficial clinically but also a lot of fun.”

-Ciara Cox, Assistant Professor, Samuel Merritt Univeristy
