Coaching

Laura helped me redesign my ambitions and goals, rekindling work ideas, energy, excitement I thought were long extinguished after extreme burnout and mental health challenges. Laura helped me reframe and change my life. Big words but absolutely 100% facts.

Odin Church, Founding Designer and Director

'The advice, support and guidance from Laura will live with me forever. I cannot recommend Laura enough.'

Alan Bennett, The Scout Association

'[It has been] an immense privilege to be coached by Laura. She has gently challenged, supported, and guided me to uncover my strengths, face my demons and set a path for the development of my business. I've looked forward to every session.

Anita Malster, Director, Blossom Mental Health Training

‘Laura has been my biggest cheerleader.’

Nic Duffy, Art Director, John Lewis.

'Laura is whip-smart, utterly compassionate, and refreshingly human.'

Melissa Legarda, Director, Good Form

Leadership support

'Laura created an atmosphere of such compassion, acceptance and hope that some of the audience were in tears. She is a wonderful speaker, human and real. She has the rare ability to both hold an honest mirror up to a difficult reality, and create belief that it is possible to change things. Her practical tips for improvements left the group empowered and energised. One participant said ‘I was deliberating if I could afford the time to attend this morning. I’m so glad I did. With hindsight, I couldn’t have afforded not to.’

Abbi Buszard PCC, Leaders Together

'Laura is particularly skilled at workshop planning and facilitation. I would highly recommend her as a consultant.'

Ross Maloney, CEO, The Ramblers

'Laura has vast expertise, the right balance of no-nonsense straight talking, a great sense of humour, and a lot of compassion. I’ve absolutely loved working with Laura. She always goes above and beyond and is absolutely the person you want by your side.'

Laura Dempsey, Director, GenEarth

'Laura is a brilliant 'critical friend', due to her breadth of experience and ability to think pragmatically and strategically. I would highly recommend Laura to anyone attempting to bring to life a start-up idea, or those who are in a rut. You will get honest, thoughtful advice that will take your business to the next stage of development.'

Lucy Stephens, Director, The New School

'Laura’s "Vulnerability in the Workplace" session was extremely well thought out and delivered beautifully. Straight away she was able to create a safe environment and made us all feel we could trust her and the content. LinkedIn would love to have her back.'

Sevda Gurpinar, LinkedIn

(Digital) Parenting talks

‘In her session on balancing career progression & family life for our Working Parents Network, Laura created an engaging space where participants could share their experience and ask questions. She shared really valuable advice and tools that our Partners can use to find their own better balance and was really easy to work with.’

Rebecca Candy, John Lewis Partnership

‘That was so brilliant - it should be on the NHS!’

Parent, secondary school workshop

‘Thank you so much again for for the parenting in the digital age session. The comments from parents were so positive and it was the highest attendance for any parent engagement event we have organised since I have been here! As a parent, I too found it incredibly useful and interesting.’

Emma Heath, staff, Forest Hill School

‘Laura got the pitch and tone absolutely spot on and covered the key ground the team needed to cover really quickly and very smartly given it is such a huge area. We then got a really useful discussion for what this means for us and our values and commitments to children and young people’.

Fergus Crow, CEO, Winston’s Wish
