Lori Woodley-Langendorff, MS, PPS, is an award-winning SEL author, experiential speaker, film producer, and thought partner for leaders driving culture change in schools, workplaces, and communities. With 30+ years as a school counselor, educator, consultant, and nonprofit CEO, she focuses on what truly shifts behavior: adults practicing social emotional literacy, not just teaching it.
As founder and CEO of All It Takes, Lori designs straight‑talk, practice-based trainings that address burnout, conflict, and resistance while offering tools teams can use immediately to build trust and psychological safety. She co-created the award-winning A Trusted Space® film and curriculum series and the national PSA “This Is A Trusted Space,” which have reached billions and given organizations a common language for stress, grief, and reconnection.
Her book, SEL Muscle Mastery (Corwin, July 2025), introduces six SEL Muscles™ that help adults manage stress, lead hard conversations, and create conditions where people can learn and work at their best. Lori is also the author of Leadership Development Through Physical Education and a contributing author in Shine Your Light with Marci Shimoff and Janet Bray Attwood, among other publications, extending her practical approach to leadership, resilience, and connection across diverse settings.
