Hello! I'm Laura, a thought partner and coach for entrepreneurs.

I partner with entrepreneurs to build what they want in business and life. We’ll get clear on what’s on your mind, where you want to go next, and what’s standing in the way. We’ll make a plan, work through issues, and see real progress.

I bring 20+ years of operations experience at tech start-ups and small/mid-sized businesses, engineering and MBA degrees, and coaching work since 2017.

My approach combines deep empathy, an action-oriented mindset, tactical support, and a 360 view of your business and personal goals. I started coaching out of a drive to work for myself, build fun things, and live the life I wanted day to day. I can help you do the same.

 

 

You might be a…

Growth Stage CEO
SMB Owner
Series A/B Start-up Founder
Entrepreneur within a large organization
Senior Executive in an entrepreneurial company

Some of the challenges we could tackle together:

  • You feel bogged down and want to clear your head

  • You’re struggling to move from founder to CEO - you want to go from doing it all to building an organization

  • You need to level up your leadership skills for better prioritization, communication, and time management

  • You want to stop hesitating when managing people who are more senior or experienced in their expertise than you

  • You're navigating complicated team or board relations and need help managing executive relationships

  • You’re leading through a complex transition period and want an unbiased thought partner to help make decisions

  • You struggle to lead and manage your mind, health, and family and want practical tips to make it easier

  • You’re planning for parental leave or a sabbatical and want to make sure things stay on track

  • You’re unclear on your career plans and want to know where you’re going and how to get there

  • You want to move on to a new idea but need help carving a path to get there

In all cases, you want to make progress while intentionally factoring in what matters most to you in work and life.
