Real People. Real Results.

Working with Laurie has been nothing short of transformational. Her unique approach to leadership and coaching helped me embrace the concept of “quiet power,” enabling me to lead with authenticity and confidence while remaining highly effective. Laurie’s guidance was pivotal in helping me overcome impostor syndrome and recognize my true potential.

Through our work together, I grew from a Senior Solutions Engineer to one of Slack’s few Distinguished Engineers—the highest and most strategic individual contributor leadership role. This achievement would not have been possible without her mentorship, which equipped me with the tools and mindset to excel in both technical and strategic leadership.

Laurie’s coaching also prepared me for my current position at OpenAI, where I continue to apply the strategic approach to enterprise deals we developed during our sessions. This approach became a blueprint for success within the team, demonstrating the lasting impact of her leadership coaching.

Laurie has a rare ability to help you uncover your unique strengths and channel them effectively. Her coaching empowers you to lead authentically, without compromising your values, and to achieve results that resonate beyond the immediate moment. I am immensely grateful for her mentorship and highly recommend her to anyone seeking transformative growth.

"Laurie was instrumental in helping me make one of the most significant transitions in my career – moving from financial services at Fidelity to the tech industry at Coremetrics, where I doubled my salary. 

What stood out about Laurie was her ability to help me see how my training and development experience could translate into a tech company's needs. She helped me realize that my skills in designing training programs and managing educational initiatives weren't industry-specific – they were valuable leadership capabilities that tech companies desperately needed.

What I particularly appreciated was her strategic approach to positioning my experience in learning and development from Fidelity in a way that resonated with tech industry hiring managers. The move to Coremetrics became the foundation for my entire tech career trajectory, leading to roles at Bazaarvoice, VMware, and now Cisco.

Laurie's guidance didn't just help me change industries – it helped me envision and achieve a completely new career path. Her ability to see potential and create strategic career transitions is remarkable."

“Laurie’s mentorship was transformative during a crucial career crossroads.

When I faced  the traditional expectation of moving into leadership to grow, she helped me step back and recognize that my true impact came from deep technical expertise and strategic customer engagement.

Her guidance led to the creation of Slack’s Distinguished Solutions Engineer role - a new position that enabled me to scale my influence across the organization while staying true to my strengths.

Laurie’s ability to look beyond conventional career paths and champion authentic leadership continues to shape my approach today.”
