Hello! I'm Laura

I’ve worked in fundraising and leadership in the charity sector for over 15 years. From inspiring people to donate to charities, to leading strategic global initiatives, I’ve experienced the highs and the lows of a career in the charity world. Now, I work with employers and individuals, to support women in leadership to have confidence in their unique skills and abilities, find healthy ways of working and feel more fulfilled in their lives.

Working for charities is incredibly rewarding. We work with like-minded people and are committed to creating positive change in the world. However, it can mean working in multiple roles simultaneously, clocking long hours and finding ourselves navigating complicated challenges we do not feel qualified for. The risk of burnout is real, but being successful and happy do not need to be mutually exclusive.

My Mission

To enable you and your teams to feel confident in your resourcefulness, skills, and creativity to work sustainably. I want to support you on your development journey so that you can make long lasting changes to find balance AND achieve success.

I really didn't know what to expect when I started working with Laura. I'd just embarked on a big project at work with little experience on the topic. I felt overwhelmed and directionless. 6 sessions later, I have a solid plan in place, a better understanding of the topic, and a team that is bought-in and motivated to help achieve our project goals. Now we've come to the end, I can look back and reflect on the enormous amount of progress I've made. I'm so grateful to Laura for giving me the space to muddle through the chaos and streamline my thinking. I highly recommend her to anyone that is considering coaching.

Laura has the ability to understand you as a person, and challenges you to evaluate your needs/wants going forward to ensure you would be heading in the right direction. At the end of our sessions I felt confident for the future of my career and that I finally had a clear plan. She is insightful, passionate about what she does and extremely professional. I am grateful I came across Laura, and would recommend her without second thought.

Coaching

Too busy trying to keep your head above water to reflect on the bigger picture?

Using conversational approaches, I’ll curate your own calm confidential space away from the daily grind to get you to where you want to be. You will be supported to unlock the answers that you already have within.

Facilitation

Ever felt frustrated and unheard in a meeting, struggled engaging your teams, or left feeling that you haven’t achieved what you intended?

It’s not easy knowing the best way to work together in groups, with stakeholders or even peers.

If you have an important virtual or in-person event coming up, I can help you make it a success.

Training

Want to feel more confident in your skills to manage, lead and influence your teams and peers?

Soft skills are often overlooked in our work but can have a huge impact on our abilities to build trust, be effective and achieve big.

I can tailor solutions to meet you and your organisation’s needs.
