The word that exemplifies my work with Laura is “intentional”. So many things in my life are on auto pilot, or I am multi-tasking so much I start “flying by the seat of my pants”. While I can and do get things done in both of these modes, it isn’t the best or most efficient way for me to operate. After meeting with Laura for a few sessions, the proverbial light bulb came on over my head. The word that motivated my change was INTENTIONAL. In most workplaces superstar employees really standout, but when I hired on with a new firm, I noticed quickly that most of those around me were at the top of their game, and therefore the people who stood out were usually on their way out. I was excited, but also somewhat intimidated. I had waited for this opportunity and now I had to make the most of it. I knew it was time to take my game to the next level so I hired Laura. Money well spent. Laura assisted me in defining better goals and establishing new habits. Most importantly, she helped me follow through so that I was able to change unproductive or inefficient thoughts and actions and move into a very intentional way of handling not only my career but also my personal life as a very busy single mother of two teenage daughters. By helping me to reframe my thoughts in an intentional and deliberate manner I was able to change my actions and only then did I see a more productive, efficient, and successful outcome. It was that AHA moment I needed. Sometimes even really bright, motivated people benefit from an outside voice and an encouraging kick in the pants. Laura will give you both, in a constructive, but very intentional way! No matter what stage of life or your career you are in, if you are looking to achieve at a higher level I can recommend working with Laura.

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… Read more “David Rosier, General Manager Toyota North America Toyota Motor Manufacturing, West Virginia”
