Working with Laura, it didn’t take long to understand her value for me and for Rise Technology. Laura’s ability to create an atmosphere where I felt safe was key. She helped me see into situations and coached me around my reactions and responses. She helped me with my language, supported areas of my work and communication style that helped me create rapport, build relationships, and collaborate more closely with clients. Laura also helped me overcome fears around public speaking and elevated my presentation style with her calm and insightful manner. Because of her help, I was able to stand in front of a European audience and address hundreds of peers at a technology conference in Belgium.

Laura is an outstanding coach!!! When burdened by feelings of doubt around my decisions, I would exert so much energy trying to force solutions or worry that I had made wrong choices. This often led to feelings of helplessness and obsessive thinking. Laura has listened with a compassionate ear and posed questions that empowered me to identify the root of the conflict I was experiencing and why that worry was there in the first place. She has helped me become deeply aware of my strengths, self-worth and all I am and could be capable of. I recognized damaging life-long patterns and cycles that I wanted to break. Through working with Laura, I still approach life with an open heart but with a mindfulness, clarity and self-assurance that were often not there before.

Laura has a wonderful ability to help you sort through difficult situations and gain much needed clarity. I always felt comfortable and encouraged to share my honest thoughts without the fear of being judged. She also challenged me to be honest with myself. Through Laura's coaching, I built greater self-awareness and self-acceptance. I'd recommend her to anyone looking for a coach who gracefully brings a direct, yet gentle approach, and truly wants to make some changes

My overall experience with Laura as a coach is uplifting and positive. I find her to be an attentive listener as well as perceptive. She knows the right questions to ask in order to help me realize why I make certain decisions. I also feel she truly listens because later in our conversations she quotes things I said earlier. I have had very positive experiences so far and I look forward to working with her going forward.
