SPEAKING
'Laura delivered the keynote at a recent conference for charity leaders, and 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, Board Member, Leaders Together
