David Rosier, General Manager Toyota North America Toyota Motor Manufacturing, West Virginia

“We engaged Laura because we recognized most of the team we considered our core leaders were not leading at all. In fact, they were so caught up in the details of day-to-day management activities, they weren’t growing themselves or developing their direct reports. We need leaders at every level of the organization if we are going to be an innovative company that challenges the status quo.

Laura shared tools and took us through processes that deepened our self-awareness, taught us the fundamentals of leadership, helped us see the impact we have on everyone around us, and gave us the tools and insights to carry the growth process to our direct reports.

I look at the business differently and lead differently now. We are accomplishing more through development and teamwork. Laura

brings a passion to her work that is matched by the breadth and depth of her expertise in her field, and I know she was personally invested in our success. We are better as an organization for the work we’ve done with her.”

“When you meet Laura, it becomes very clear very quickly that she’s on a mission to wake people up to become their best selves, to become intentional leaders, and to live their lives on purpose! And she’s well-equipped to do it, continually investing in her own growth to ensure she’s ahead of the curve with what her clients need.

As my personal coach, she’s helped me to see and understand my strengths, purpose, and vision for growing my team and my region with greater clarity. She sparks the deeper thinking I wouldn’t naturally do on my own, which leads me to understanding, truth, and a clear path forward when faced with a professional or personal challenge.

I so believe in the value and power of what she brings that I’ve trusted her with my team and even “gifted” her to another organization because I knew they would greatly benefit from working with her. As a result, we are more intentional, focused on clearer communication and building trust in our relationships.”

Every successful company strives for the next big idea that gives them the advantage over their competition. Focusing on human development has clearly become an area thru which companies separate themselves from the competition, and at TMMWV, we are no different. Two years ago, we began looking for a more comprehensive approach to human development with an emphasis on developing our leadership team.

Our search took us to Laura who leveraged her experience in using two self-awareness assessments followed by a series of leadership development activities customized to the needs of our leadership team; these efforts have yielded positive results. Our leaders are now more aware of who they are, including their strengths and weaknesses. This has allowed our organization to use the data to make necessary org changes leveraging individual leader’s strengths and weaknesses. Laura’s comprehensive approach has allowed us to become more successful in preparing our company for future challenges. If you’re looking for the next competitive advantage for your company, I encourage you to reach out to Laura and see what she can do for you!
