She teaches people how to overcome obstacles and control their thoughts, beliefs, and actions, to rise above what holds them back, reaching their ultimate best.

After downsizing eliminated her position, she entered into an area unfamiliar to her, a direct sales company. Within nine months, she promoted to manager. In three years, Lori developed and led a half-million dollar sales team and was a highly sought-after motivational trainer.

Areas of Expertise:

Lori influences people by inspiring and empowering them toward positive action, and reach further than their imagined potential.

Lori has over 26 years experience motivationally speaking, as well as developing and training in the areas of increasing individual performance and personal growth. Her unique life experiences and areas of study add a wealth of valuable insight people today desperately need.

Lori presents insightful and interactive events filled with practical tools that demonstrate what it takes to move past fears and limitations, to experience “beyond belief” achievements in their lives and the lives of others.

Ms. Bestler customizes all her presentations to client’s desired outcomes. Each program utilizes a new concept called Mind Management and the Process for Positive Change ^TM. Lori invested over 3,000 hours of research into the correlation of cognitive process, self-motivation, positive resolve, and spirituality. This resulted in developing the Process for Positive Change^TM. PFPC lays the base for everything Bestler speaks about and utilizes her new concept “Mind Management”.

For maximum effectiveness, the entire five-part program is recommended and done in a progressive plan to gain momentum, generate motivation, and increase employee productivity.

As individuals affect and are affected by each other in specific environments, the Process for Positive Change™ sets the psychological base for optimizing the way people perceive and interact with each other. PFPC develops the ability to form three key mindsets for increasing human potential. It exposes individuals to the mental, emotional, and physical triggers that cause barriers, which obstruct growth, and teaches how to reach new heights of effectiveness in every area of their lives.

I. Increasing Potential: Develop a foundational thought awareness process that moves you beyond barriers that paralyze growth, to discover hidden possibilities ready to burst from within. This half-day seminar is specifically designed to give attendees the skills they need to advance their Personal Performance Potential.

II. Stress-Management: This seminar was developed as a direct result of working with people of different belief systems, behaviors, and backgrounds. Understand how and why your body reacts to worldly demands, conflicts, and its conscious and unconscious memory, for greater confidence, peace of mind, and clarity in psychological needs.

III. Communication and Listening Skills: Learn three methods of communication for facilitating different group dynamics and achieving desired results. Gain an understanding of how to earn the trust and respect of others and why without it your ideas are never fully received. Learn how to project a self-image that builds rapport and puts you in a positive light to strengthen relationships. Listening techniques will be taught for handling different forms of cognitive abilities, which enables you to respond more effectively when seeking solutions.

IV. Time-Management: One of the most important skills anyone in business or personal life can learn is “Life-Management”. Time does not change, but life does. Therefore, you manage what changes and that is life, not time. This seminar will teach you tools that will help you sort out activities in a way that support your desired outcomes, offering lasting results. As the saying goes, “People don’t plan to fail, they fail to effectively plan”.

V. Goal Setting: Learn core principals necessary for establishing goals you will commit to achieve. Find out what frame of mind is the key to becoming skilled at accomplishing what you set out to do. Dreams are easy to imagine, but proper development of your target, will carry you across the finish line. Identify the specific values and motivators that are critical to realizing your goals.

FRESH START™ Programs are available in 90-Minute Keynotes or all three in a Full Day Format.

Take the time to rediscover who you really are. This presentation is designed for women who want fresh possibilities for self-discovery and unleashing greater potential. This program is great for connecting with others who, like you, are on their journey back to wellness and wholeness. Gain an awareness of your authentic self to embrace the real you. Learn how to channel your energy most effectively for positive outcomes, and recreate a new mindset for finding greater fulfillment in life.

Lori can take what seems to be a simple concept, expand on it, and then bring it back again so that you can own the concept for yourself. The tools that Lori uses help you to move through the stuck areas in your life and are great to use every day. I could not thank her enough. I left changed and full of hope.

She truly is a treasure to our Direct Sales Leader Team!” Sandy Pappenfus - Top 10% of Leaders Recognized Nationally for PartyLite Gifts, Inc.

Lori, I want to thank you for speaking to my Personal Finance class on the subject of success and goal setting. The power of planning is so important for achieving success and I am trying to reinforce the positive thought process you taught as we meet daily as a class. I have even gone so far as to write “Believe in Yourself” on the board as we start class each day. Hopefully the students will carry the message you instilled in them during your presentation throughout the school year. After all, your attitude does make a difference.

You did a wonderful job of managing classes all day long and meeting with different teachers and groups of students. I enjoyed meeting you and good luck with your future presentations. Candy Lee - Business Instructor Wayzata High School
