Executive Coaching, Training, and HR Partnership

Executive Coaching, Training, and HR PartnershipExecutive Coaching, Training, and HR PartnershipExecutive Coaching, Training, and HR Partnership

Your managers are struggling — and they are probably not telling you.

Sound familiar? Your organization is moving fast. Priorities shift. Teams are stretched. 


And your managers — the people your employees interact with every single day — are figuring out how to lead in real time, without a roadmap.


Most were promoted because they were great at their jobs. Nobody taught them how to lead people through change.


The result shows up quietly: good people leaving, hard conversations avoided, engagement slipping. And it is expensive.


That is where I come in.

I help organizations develop stronger managers and more resilient leaders — through Executive Coaching, Training, and HR thought partnership. Built by someone who has actually run HR.

Three ways I work with organizations:

EXECUTIVE COACHING

For leaders navigating complex organizations, big transitions, or the gap between where they are and where they want to be. I use CliftonStrengths, DISC, and 360 assessments, along with coaching, to help leaders build self-awareness, make better decisions, and lead with greater clarity and less friction. Individual and Group Coaching available.→ Tell me about your situation.

TRAININGS & GROUP COACHING

Online and in-person training sessions and/or Group Coaching created for your company. Your managers are your biggest lever for retention and performance — and most of them are underdeveloped and undersupported. One program I offer is a 90-day cohort program (6–8 managers at a time) that builds real leadership skills in under 2 hours per manager per month. Everything connects to a current challenge.

HR THOUGHT PARTNERSHIP

HR THOUGHT PARTNERSHIP

For HR leaders and senior teams who need a strategic thought partner — not a consultant who drops a report and disappears. I bring 20+ years of hands-on leadership to conversations about people strategy, organizational design, employee engagement, and navigating the hard stuff. Especially experienced with mission-driven nonprofits and values-driven organizations.→ Let's talk.

"Laurel is an exceptional coach! Not only is she warm, approachable, humorous, and highly emotionally intelligent, but she is also an expert at her craft. She draws upon best practices and research and has understanding and empathy from her own firsthand experience as an organizational leader and director. She asks insightful questions and listens deeply and has helped me work through numerous complex situations." 


"It was truly insightful and beneficial for everyone involved. I also want to express appreciation for Laurel,  who did an excellent job guiding us through the session. Their expertise and ability to clarify concepts made the learning experience enjoyable and enriching."

Let's talk about your team.
