Ron Zasadzinski
Shortly after starting to work with Laura, one of my goals was to work with me and our 12 employees to define our company purpose. We’ve worked on this in different ways in the past, but this time I wanted it to truly be a team effort, for us to collaboratively arrive at a purpose statement that everyone contributed to and everyone stood behind. With her expert guidance our team worked on some exercises over a few sessions on our own, then participated in a half-day workshop facilitated by Laura. The result was a big success and we now have a purpose statement created by the team collectively. The most rewarding feedback came from our newest employee who has been with us for nine months. After the workshop he shared that he now feels like part of the team, is very excited about the direction of the company and that

I received executive business coaching from Laura for about six months. Laura's insights and direction allowed me to quickly dig deep, reflect, and grow. Laura is positive and empathic, but also challenging when needed. Laura showed me how to turn perceived weaknesses into powerful life changing statements and thinking. She gave me tools to use and imparted important concepts in support of growing as a Leader. I highly recommend Laura if you want to take your career and personal growth to the next level.

Laura helped me with recognizing my potential through an adverse point in my career. She has the ability to bring positivity from even the dire of circumstances. With her support, I was able to weather the storm, get focused, embrace the red and use it to my advantage to reach the next stage of my career. She has been a critical part of my growth and development, and I HIGHLY recommend her services as well as those from TAB Focused Directions!

Dec 2019 - Present
Similar to how large publicly held companies hire a Board of Directors to help guide their business to success; I facilitate non-competing, exceptional business owners in confidential, highly productive meetings for them to help each other with issues, ideas and opportunities. To further enrich success, I coach each member of the Board individually in between Board Meetings. The Alternative Board (as in an alternative to a Board of Directors) is a 30 year company with Boards in 21 countries. Show less

Jun 2011 - Oct 2014
I coached and supported a talented sales team to execute a highly consultative and integrity driven sales process. As a producing manager, I was able to build a dynamic sales process that would maintain the company's extremely high standards while still being flexible enough to work for different verticals, company sizes and marketing objectives. The ownership of this company was generous in facilitating my desire and acumen towards program and process development, self-management and ultra-consultative-sales. Continue to train new Recruiters for the company on a freelance basis. Show less

I helped my small and medium sized clientele from a wide variety of industries with their marketing strategies by creating and successfully executing their integrated marketing campaigns.

My clients would say that I excelled in servicing their accounts, bringing fresh ideas to the table and integrity in ROI measurement. Show less
