I’m Laura: a high-achieving, feisty, unapologetic champion for women and their ability to rule the world.

MOST DAYS MY LIFE IS A BLUR OF ZOOM CALLS,TEXT MESSAGE PEP TALKS, AND ICED COFFEE.

Oh, and helping women all over the world step into their power and build their dream career and life – no big deal.

But my career hasn’t always been this fun.

I’ve always been ambitious – and knew from a young age that I wanted to lead, not follow. But I spent too many years in the workplace feeling frustrated, tired and confused. Why?

  • My ideas weren’t heard or appreciated because I wasn’t one of the ‘important decision makers’ yet

  •  I was overlooked for opportunities to lead (nevermind that I never put my own hat into the ring!)

  • and the only career and personal development advice I received boiled down to “act more like a man.” Not exactly what this feminist wanted to hear.

I worked overtime, got amazing results, and was a team player who was 100% bought in to the mission. I was sure that if I kept my head down and worked hard, someone would notice me and give me a chance to lead in the way I knew I was capable of.

Spoiler alert – there was no champion in shining armor coming to rescue me from my self-imposed career purgatory.

 

And keeping my head down and letting my results speak for themselves? Turns out, that doesn’t work either.

I had a lot of questions, like:
N

Why didn’t those around me understand the value I brought to the table?

N

Why weren’t my ideas being taken seriously?

N

What did those other newly-promoted people have that I didn’t?

N

Do I really have to put in my time for 25+ years before I get a chance to do more?

I started to wonder if I just wasn’t meant to be exceptional.

If maybe that success and power I wanted was meant for someone else.

-Record Scratch-

Wait, what? Nope. If no champion was going to ride in on a white horse and promote me to a sexy new job where I could help to develop and influence others – I realized I’d have to figure it out on my own (white horse optional, thankfully).

After years of feeling overlooked and under-appreciated, I took my career growth and personal development into my own hands. I decided that I’d become my own champion, and I refused to accept the idea that my growth was something that would only happen with the permission of someone else.

I realized I did not need to wait for a promotion to show up in the workplace and in life as a confident leader who knew what she stood for and how valuable she was. I tackled my impostor syndrome by identifying what made me uniquely valuable and embraced my personal power.

I made myself into the leader I wanted to be & started to lead and support others BEFORE being invited to the leadership table.

 I’ll be honest – I didn’t set out to become an entrepreneur. In fact, I might still be at one of those companies I loved if I felt like I was being supported, poured into and given the personal and professional development I craved.

Unfortunately, I wasn’t given the resources and development I needed to show up as my best self at work, so I left – and made it my mission to make sure all women have access to the support I didn’t.

I help high achieving women intentionally align their thoughts, values and actions so they can show up powerfully for their teams and company, while building sustainable success for themselves.

Because I believe that creating a career and a life you love doesn’t have to feel like so much work.
