Hi! I’m the LG in LGC Academy

and I’m pleased to introduce myself to you as Lauren Graden.

I'm a highly experienced document control professional with over fifteen years of diverse experience in various industries. Starting from humble beginnings as a junior document controller with no education or experience in the field, I relentlessly strived for excellence and swiftly climbed the ranks to lead dynamic teams on both the EPC and Owner/Producer sides of operations.

My career has been a journey of continual learning and adaptability. Starting as a certified drafting technician, I quickly identified new opportunities to develop my skillset even further, leading me through roles such as Project Coordinator, Quality Control Coordinator, then Document Controller. To expand the range of experiences in my field, I ventured off into remote locations in Northern Alberta, where I worked and lived in camp for three years.

Through each invaluable role and experience, I have cultivated a unique set of skills that contribute to my successful document control methodology. This personal and professional growth has helped me become the expert I am today, and that methodology is exactly what I want to share with you.

Being in a position to lead teams was incredibly rewarding for me, inspiring an ongoing pursuit of knowledge and expertise. I followed this path to become certified in Management Development.

Education is truly my passion and my hobby - both as a student and a teacher!

I am excited to share my extensive wisdom, valuable insights, and hard-earned lessons so that you, too, can understand the complex world of document control and how it relates to records management.

So, without further ado, let's embark on this exciting journey together as we explore the diverse facets of this often-overlooked yet exciting field!

Let's equip you with the tools to unlock your true potential and show off what an asset you can be for your organization by mastering document control.

My Journey

Client Testimonials

When I’m not busy working, you can find me exploring our gorgeous backyard, the Canadian Rockies. As my coffee mug accurately states - the mountains are my happy place.

And I mean it. Not only do I enjoy the adrenaline and accomplishment that comes from summiting massive mountain tops and pushing myself to exhaustion over week-long backcountry trips around the world, but it’s also where I do a lot of creative thinking. Thinking that led me to pursue my dreams and start The Academy.

After all, inspiring places lead to inspiring thoughts.
