I hold the space.
You carry the culture.
What would change if people in your organization felt like they could be open and honest in the room instead of in the hallway afterward?
I help nonprofit and mission-driven leaders design the spaces where people gather, the skills that carry culture forward, and the structures that make it grow.
Culture rarely breaks in one moment. It gives way in a thousand small ones.
These aren't individual problems. They're signs your culture needs care.
When culture is left untended, you feel it before you can name it. And you carry it quietly, because you're the one who's supposed to fix it.
That's where I come in.
A Ripple Effect Leader is someone whose impact shows up not just in what they do, but in how their organization works.
In the rooms where decisions get made. In the conversations people are willing to have. In the way teams move forward when no one is watching.
When leadership ripples outward, you start to see:
Your leadership has the power to spark transformation—not just for you, but for everyone around you.
I help you create a workplace where everyone (including you) is excited to show up every day
With 15+ years of leadership consulting, I guide leaders through their most complex challenges and facilitate meaningful meetings that turn great ideas into action.
As a former Army officer, I know the power of camaraderie and trust, and my experience as a registered dietitian gives me deep insight into behavior change—both essential for building a culture where people feel valued, motivated, and ready to do their best work.
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.
The best part? This won’t just fuel your personal fulfillment, but also organizational success.
LET’S WORK TOGETHER
Three ways I can support your leadership journey
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:
"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."
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:
“Laura’s work calls leaders to step beyond the everyday status quo and embrace a higher, broader perspective—one that aligns with their personal values, authentic communication style, and sense of self. She helps leaders see not only their teams and workplace cultures but the larger world they influence. In doing so, Laura elevates leadership as a whole by empowering individual leaders to grow, shift, and evolve.”
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:
"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."
