Testimonials

“I consider Laurel a powerful conduit who enabled me to find and remember my own greatness. I was in the middle of a career transition when I began working with Laurel. She was a silver lining in a very challenging year.”

"Laurel is adept at connecting the dots in new and different ways. During both her plenary presentation and her training she connected with our diverse audience. Her unique framework and approach was highly motivating.

Hearing Laurel talk about what advocacy was eye opening. She discusses the topic is a clear and matter-of-fact manner. Gaining momentum in the historic preservation community is really about working together to advocate for our shared goals. As a result of her what we learned, the Historic Trust has decided to begin some advocacy working groups next Fall with a goal toward enhancing the state’s historic preservation image.”

“Laurel is a highly motivating speaker who brings great value to any group interested in engaging at a deeper and more sustained level around policy and advocacy.”

“I highly recommend Laurel for your next team-building retreat. Laurel’s depth and understanding of advocacy combined with her ability to facilitate powerful and pointed group exercises and discussion resulted in a highly engaging experience.”

“As a coach, Laurel has great insight and the ability to create a safe space for her clients to reflect and grow in their self-awareness. She was clearly there as a guide and mentor, not a judge. I also appreciated the amount of time she spent preparing before we met. In my experience that is the difference between an excellent coach and an average one.”

“Laurel inspired me to become a better advocate for the people we serve. She really helped me reframe and ground advocacy for me as being central to our mission and our values. In fact, I was so inspired I was able to take immediate action, including convincing our board to sign onto a federal lawsuit challenging a policy that was adversely impacting our clients. As a result, I became more vocal in the media, even doing an interview on NPR. Thank you Laurel for helping this Executive Director find her voice!”

"Laurel really helped me to see the forest for the trees when I was so often lost in the trees! In addition, she was really good at helping me identify all the negative energy that was draining me, especially about myself, and helped me shift my focus toward the business I was trying to build. As a result we now have forward progress and momentum."
