What a FEW Clients are Saying

 Laurie’s coaching, commitment and executive training continues to source my success in building my dynamic division. We have exploded productivity, sales and are exceeding all goals as a result”

 --- Fortune 10 Consulting Executive  

  Laurie was an invaluable after our war in Bosnia. She started a non-profit to assist the healing and rebuilding of hope and action.  She invested time, money and her full heart and talent both in Bosnia and in her sponsorship of Bosnians to the U.S. for training and education to go back and help rebuild their country. Laurie brought love, rigor and results to  everything she worked on with us and built a solid foundation for our efforts going forward. She even managed to create a coalition of Bosnian and American musicians to be the only non-profit that was part of the Summer 2000 Dave Matthews Band 63 city tour. 

Mnogo vam hvala! 

“I hired a coach to help with issues in my personal life and having a better relationship with my children. I can’t thank Laurie enough for her commitment, humor and generosity in her coaching and support. I can’t recommend her enough! I have more insight to my own strengths and trigger; have tools to work through conflict and challenges every parent faces and better communication skills. What started as wanting to work on one area of my life has led to benefits in other areas of my life! Thank you!!!” --- Happy Mother of 3

“As a business owner, I had a successful business doing well and achieving moderate profits and success. I hired Laurie to assess the current business model in place, work with us on what would be next and coordinate other vendors and resources to expand our business. As a former business leader and executive, Laurie was seasoned in the challenges of business and profits and delivered results beyond my expectation. I recommend her services and contribution to any business looking to take their business to new levels of success, profits and market presence".  --- Manufacturing Executive

   I have directly benefited from Laurie's coaching and have referred her to so so many others through the years.  She is a 'secret' weapon for all areas of my life and all the changes in both my business and personal life.  Having a champion in your corner - one who is committed to your freedom, your effectiveness, your success - is a gift that not only provides my own personal benefits, it models conduct I pay forward.  Perfection isn't  promised nor a goal; progress with the freedom and peace of mind to deliver on my intentions is invaluable. Can't imagine my life without her talent, support and experience.

“Laurie has been my business coach since 2000. She is a key member of my team and I rely on her expertise and consulting for all areas of my continued business growth. Her coaching is an invaluable component to my own personal success; my business and my expansion. There is no intent or agenda to coaching other than to assist me in developing my own abilities and learning. She is a true ‘secret weapon’ to my ongoing success. I am more focused and enjoy being a business owner again!

 --- Insurance Agency Owner

“I was referred to Laurie to work on my changing careers from the public sector to starting my own business. I was not sure what to do or where to go and a friend said to give Laurie a call and discuss what I thought was my issues. What an eye opener! I felt totally at ease from the first conversation and knew she was only committed to my feeling free to explore options and start producing results! I am thankful to my friend for referring me and to Laurie for the excellent coaching and support of me finding my way and starting my new life. So glad I did not do it alone!!” --- Catering business owner

“Under the powerful and stealth coaching Laurie provided, I have taken my business to unprecedented levels. My confidence and leadership skills are unrecognizable and my life is rich and fun again!” 

--- Senior Tech Executive

 “Surgical private practices have several moving parts and business success depends on more than being an excellent surgeon. Coordinating all the moving parts; developing key service and marketing directives were handled by Laurie and her team of contacts and experts. Took the stress out of my day and had the practice working, growing and avoiding common pitfalls of my colleagues starting their medical practice. Laurie implemented what was needed and developed a team of professionals to support my business. We are successful and continue to grow and profit as a result”.  --- Surgeon in private practice 

“It’s been invaluable and smart business decision to hire Laurie as our Business Management Consultant. We shifted our general business focus to a very specialized area – and needed help assessing risks, finances, implementing marketing; legal compliance; IT vendors etc – all areas of business were worked on, staff reassessed, other vendors/consultants coordinated to ensure the shift happen. We are now a noted historical preservation/restoration general contractor and established in the field and professional societies for years! I believe we would not have made the shift in our business strategy without her tireless efforts, support and expertise!” .

--- President   General Contracting Firm

If you would have told me that I could re-gut my current business strategy and enjoy doing it  - I would have told you you were nuts! Laurie worked with me and my executive team and restructured our company, our marketing and our employee support program.  It took time, commitment and passion to make it happen - and would not have happened without her.  Laurie takes joy in knowing she makes a difference in the lives of others - to see others thrive, learn and grow - no matter the task.  A rare gem to understand the honor that every employee deserves and that being profitable is easier when all are inspired and contributing.

 I don't believe in chance.  I watched Laurie talking to someone and was riveted by her listening skills and her ability to resolve an issue with someone. I wanted to know how to do that! Before I had a chance, she introduced herself and asked how I was doing... and she meant it! Long story short, I hired her as my personal coach. Through the years she has worked with me in my personal life, my parenting and when I switched careers and finally went after my own dream of owning my own business. I am successful, happy and armed with invaluable tools and resources for the rest of my life.
