Here you’ll find frameworks, ideas, and honest perspectives drawn from real coaching work. The kind of thinking that helps you lead more clearly, manage more effectively, and show up as the leader your team deserves.
Are you in the middle of a job search? Or maybe client creation for your business? They say you need to tap into your network in these situations. And I agree. But I’ve learned that it doesn’t always work the way you think it should. See, most of us look to our inner circle – […]
Lately I’ve been at the gym at unusual times and I’ve now seen the same trainer at different times of day training different clients. Men and women. Ranging from 20s to 70s. And I’ve seen her do essentially the same program with all of them. I’ve hired a number of coaches – a leadership coach, […]
Have you ever left the service center at a car dealership happy? Not neutral, satisfied, or relieved. But actually in a good mood? I just did. When we repatriated to the US four years ago there were no cars to buy and any dealership that had a car to sell wanted to jack up the […]
I worked with Laura during one of the most difficult periods of my career. I was burnt out, had lost my passion, and felt like I was just going through the motions. I was at a crossroads considering law school or a nonprofit role, and I had no clarity on what I actually wanted. Through thoughtful questioning and helping me visualize different scenarios, she guided me to discover my own answers. I left our work together with genuine confidence in my decision and a renewed sense of purpose. If you’re facing a difficult time in your career, I’d highly recommend working with Laura.
Laura brings a rare combination of insight, challenge, and authenticity to her coaching. Laura has a natural ability to create trust, ask the right questions, and get to the root of difficult conversations in a way that leads to real clarity and growth.Through Laura’s coaching, I became more reflective as a leader, more self-aware, and more intentional about how I show up professionally. Laura consistently challenged me to think deeper, lead better, and not settle for surface-level answers. The impact of Laura’s coaching has been lasting, and I would strongly recommend Laura to any leader looking to grow in a genuine and meaningful way.
I took one of her management workshops and learned so much from the material she presented, but even more from the guided discussions and dialogue between Laura, myself, and my peers. I’d had management experience and leadership training before taking Laura’s course, but learned so much more about how I can fine tune my skills, better serve my employees, and more effectively apply my past experiences to my current and future roles. No matter how experienced you are, you WILL learn something from Laura and her skills as a facilitator turn the curriculum into a true learning experience.
Through our coaching conversations, I learned how to navigate complex team dynamics more productively, lead difficult conversations with confidence, and create stronger working relationships despite those differences. What I appreciated most about Laura's coaching was that it was not tied to a performance evaluation, a prescribed professional development plan, or organizational expectations. It was a space dedicated entirely to growth. Our sessions allowed me to process both immediate leadership situations and larger life decisions in a way that was thoughtful, honest, and actionable.
I lead an R&D team who supports our company’s technical understanding of the key markets that our customers participate in. Our team is very new to our roles and to industry itself. Laura greatly strengthened our team by facilitating multiple sessions that focused on better self-understanding and how our individual personalities come together as a cohesive group. In leading these discussions, I was impressed with how Laura could create the conversation and step back to allow the team to naturally move forward.
Through her coaching, I was able to understand my strengths and where best to apply them, identify my weaknesses and how to address them, but most importantly she mentored me through various techniques to become a well-rounded leader.
Working with Laura has had a major impact on both my professional and personal development, and my overall team's development. She has helped me with the big and small picture - from career path and overall goals to day to day managing and leadership tactics that have helped me become a more well-rounded and confident leader. I look forward to partnering and working with Laura far into the future, and would strongly recommend her to anyone considering working with her for individual or team development.
