Leadership is hard—great leaders know they don’t have to do it alone

When you’re managing growth, navigating change, or struggling with low employee engagement, leadership can feel overwhelming.

Meetings stall progress
Tough conversations get avoided
Accountability falters
Decision-making slows down

These challenges can leave you feeling stuck, isolated, and buried under mounting tasks.

With 15+ years of leadership consulting, I guide leaders through their most complex challenges and facilitate meaningful meetings that turn great ideas into action.

I’m on a mission to help you make every individual in your workplace feel valued, supported, and inspired to contribute at their highest level.

Three ways I can support your leadership journey

1:1 Ripple Effect Leadership Coaching

The bottom line will always matter, but how you achieve it is changing. The difference between thriving and merely surviving lies in culture—and you’re in the driver’s seat.

But leading through growth, team challenges, and tough conversations can feel overwhelming and often lonely. Whether you’re navigating a major transition, struggling with team dynamics, or turning around a toxic work environment, you don’t have to do it alone.

My coaching provides:

Personal growth and confidence: Become the best leader you can be by maximizing your strengths, addressing your weaker areas, and leading with clarity and purpose.
A trusted confidant: Gain honest, unbiased feedback and actionable strategies to navigate leadership transitions and challenges.
A safe space for support: Leadership doesn’t have to be isolating—I’m here to help you talk through challenges, gain clarity, and explore solutions without judgment.

“ Laura helped me increase my confidence as a leader"

"Laura has a keen ability to understand the big picture view of everything that’s going on and help me drill down to what’s most important. She has helped me increase my confidence when doing things outside of my comfort zone, which has led to improved communication in the organization, more accountability on my senior team, and a consistent focus on our strategic priorities. I truly value her positive attitude and the consistency of our work together."

Mike Gosse, PhD, President and CEO, Blind Industries and Services of Maryland

Meeting Facilitation, Retreats, and Team Building Sessions

Great meetings, retreats, and team sessions don’t just bring people together—they drive alignment, engagement, and action.

But without the right structure, they can feel like a waste of time rather than a powerful tool. A great meeting doesn’t just solve problems—it prevents them, eliminating the need for follow-ups, extra meetings, or those dreaded “meetings that could have been an email.”

Whether you need to facilitate high-impact meetings, plan a retreat that fosters connection, or run a team-building session that strengthens collaboration, my facilitation ensures:

Structured, impactful agendas: Meetings flow seamlessly, with clear objectives that drive engagement and eliminate bottlenecks.
Balanced participation: Every voice is valued, fostering trust and collaboration across your team.
Clear objectives and outcomes: Every session ends with actionable next steps, turning discussions into meaningful progress.

“Laura is excellent at designing meetings to be productive and effective.”

"When she facilitates, I get to experience meetings and trainings just like my team members. I value that opportunity because as someone who has facilitated many retreats and meetings, I know that it’s impossible to fully participate when I also have to facilitate. One thing I love is that when the meeting is over, the relationship doesn’t end. She works with us to ensure we have what we need to move forward - a summary of the meeting, action items, and a follow-up plan. She’s there to help us succeed."

Kirra JarrAtt, CEO, DC Bar Foundation

Leadership Trainings

Whether you’re scaling, restructuring, or looking to elevate your workplace culture, you need leaders who have the skills and heart to drive real progress. That’s where I come in.

My trainings aren’t your typical “sit and listen” sessions—they’re interactive, conversation-driven, and tailored to tackle the unique challenges your team faces. Think dynamic discussions, practical tools, and strategies your leaders can use the very next day.

My most popular trainings include:

Navigating workplace changes: Equip your leaders to guide their teams through tricky transitions with clarity and confidence.
Fostering accountability: Create a culture where ownership and responsibility are baked into how your team operates.
Mastering coaching skills: Teach your leaders to have the tough conversations, resolve conflicts with empathy, and truly listen to bring out the best in their teams.
Building resilience and well-being: Help your team stay grounded and productive with mindfulness practices and stress management tools.
