Executive Coaching
With the unemployment rate at an all-time low, investors expecting fast returns and companies getting acquired or going public at record rates, the pressure is on now more than ever for executives and c-suites. Add to this that social media and companies like Glassdoor allow anything and everything that goes on in the workplace to become public knowledge and you’ve got a perfect cocktail for analysis paralysis.
Gone are the days when managers can get by just being great ex-individual contributors. Studies show that managers account for at least 70% of the variance in employee engagement.

Laurie’s mix of positivity, straight talk and savvy business advice makes her a triple threat. I appreciate that Laurie is not afraid to share her own stories to increase the vulnerability level so that I become more comfortable sharing. There’s no judgement with Laurie. She has built trust with me and my team quickly and implicitly. With Laurie, I now believe that all ships can and should rise together.
