Laura believes in asking powerful questions, interpreting nuance between what is said and left unsaid, and listening with empathy. With over 20 years of experience in Human Resources, Project Management, and now as a Coach, her vision involves building a kinder, gentler world in which people feel connected internally (by knowing themselves) and externally (through their relationships with others).
When she’s not coaching, Laura facilitates training that empowers people to be their best selves. She has trained leaders at Fortune 500 companies, professional women’s groups, and has led executive masterminds. Popular topics include networking, such as how to craft brilliant elevator pitches, as well as how to build – and sustain – a positive mindset. Laura also conducts workshops on purpose (Ignite your Why!) and vision (Empowered Leadership).
She applies her business background to her current coaching practice, having worked in small, mid-size, and large companies, ranging from national to international in scope, in the following industries: pharmaceutical, hospitality, employee engagement, supply chain, and food manufacturing.
