Bio

It is rare that you come across a communication coach who positively impacts your life and career within a short period of time like Laura. I had the pleasure of participating in a two-day public speaking and presenting workshop she facilitated and must admit that it was such a transformative experience. Laura does not merely focus on opportunities to improve. She reinforces observed qualities and strengths; ensuring that you leverage the things you are good at to develop skills in other areas. I walked away with a renewed sense of purpose, self-awareness and a stronger skill set. As a communication coach and consultant, Laura earns my highest recommendation.

Laura is a phenomenal trainer and facilitator. She is equally capable of designing and executing for audiences ranging from individual contributors to senior executives and in industries from tech to manufacturing. Laura brings more positive energy and heart to her work than anyone I know in this space, and I cannot recommend her more highly!
