She has lived the life of an entrepreneur at companies at various stages. She understands the complexities and nuances - emotional and otherwise - involved.

I strongly recommend Laura as a coach, especially for people who are going through critical "make or break" moments in their business or career.

Some people I’ve worked with…

Small firm lawyer building the next chapter of his business while becoming an empty-nester. We defined what an ideal next chapter would look like in work and life, hired and trained a new team, and upgraded internal processes so he could focus more on the work that sparked joy both in his firm and with other businesses and passion projects.

A Series C CEO with 3 young kids as he was feeling burnt out and looking to move on. He changed how he managed a difficult investor, finished his round of funding, hired key people, and rebooted how he worked day-to-day while charting a path to an exit.

Two female co-founders, from Seed Stage to Series B - including fast growth, RIFs, and 3 parental leaves. We worked through fast-changing team dynamics, overlapping parental leaves, interpersonal conflicts grounded in a deeply respectful relationship, and the smooth departure of one co-founder after 5 years.

Co-founder of a Series B start-up who was unclear the role was for him. As his company grew 5x, we developed his leadership style, upgraded key skills, and ultimately navigated a smooth exit from the company.

Interim female CEO through a career change and two maternity leaves. We worked together as she transitioned into, and out of being an interim startup CEO, got clarity on her next chapter, got an entrepreneurial job within a large organization, and navigated two parental leaves while being promoted multiple times.

Let’s talk about your story and see if it’s a fit for my style of coaching. If not, I’ll likely have other resources / coaches to send your way.
