Laura helped me redesign my ambitions and goals, rekindling work ideas, energy, excitement I thought were long extinguished after extreme burnout and mental health challenges (I could easily gush loads more but these are the essentials). A massive shout out to Laura for being an incredible human and helping me to reframe and change my life. Big words but absolutely 100% facts.

Odin Church, Founder, Radical Clarity Workshops

I have had the honour and privilege to be coached by Laura for the past six months. Laura has had such a positive impact on my personal and professional growth. The advice, support and guidance from Laura will live with me forever. I cannot recommend Laura enough.

Alan Bennett, Senior Programme Delivery Manager, The Scout Association

Over the past year, I've had the immense privilege to be coached by Laura. She has gently challenged, supported, and guided me to uncover my strengths, face my demons and set a path for the development of my business. I've looked forward to every session, knowing I'll come away empowered, with a clear focus and tangible targets. I have no hesitation in recommending her.

Anita Malster, Founder and Director, Blossom Mental Health Training

I was finding it difficult running a new organisation by myself having to navigate lots of uncertainties, opportunities and challenges all at once. Working with Laura has helped to bring much needed clarity and confidence, and really boosted my morale.

D, a charity CEO, London

I worked with Laura through quite a big period of transition in my life. When I met her I was quite frustrated with where I found myself in terms of my ambitions and dreams. I am thrilled to say that I have just landed the job of my dreams and amazingly I can go back to the diagram we drew outlining everything I wanted in a job and I have, to my joy and surprise, found that I have achieved all of it. That is in no small part testimony to Laura's ability to harness hope, belief, energy and focus in others.

N, personal coaching client, London

I've just reached the end of my third year of coaching with Laura. She has supported me through such a huge range of challenges, has always made me feel cared for, and helped me be the best I can be. For anyone out there looking for a good coach, I can't recommend Laura enough!

Hannah Barker, Director of Programmes, Spring Impact

Laura designed and led our annual business planning process, quickly devising and coordinating an organisation-wide exercise that enabled the Executive Leadership Team to assess activities for strategic fit and affordability, and carry out a systematic prioritisation exercise. Laura is particularly skilled at workshop planning and facilitation. Her work enabled us to achieve a step-change in business planning that we will be building on in the years ahead. I would highly recommend her as a consultant.

Ross Maloney, CEO, The Ramblers

As the founder of a start-up it has been invaluable to have Laura’s guidance, support and encouragement. Laura supported us to design a compelling organisational mission, vision and fundraising plan, which helped secure our most recent contract. She has vast expertise and connections from the education and voluntary sector, the right balance of no nonsense straight talking, a great sense of humour, and a lot of compassion. I’ve absolutely loved working with Laura. She always goes above and beyond and is absolutely the person you want by your side. I would highly recommend her services.

Laura Dempsey, Director & Founder, Volunteers for Future

I worked with Laura in the early stages of setting up an educational charity. Laura provided strategic advice and was a sounding board for problem solving. She is a brilliant 'critical friend', due to her breadth of experience and her ability to think pragmatically and strategically. I would highly recommend Laura to anyone attempting to bring to life a start-up idea, or those who are in a rut and looking to sense check their ongoing strategy. You will get honest, thoughtful advice that will take your business to the next stage of development.

Lucy Stephens, Director & Founder, The New School

We needed support in articulating our policy positions on holiday provision and the development of a high-level influencing strategy. Laura got to the heart of the matter very quickly. Her report helped maximize our credibility and highlighted areas we had not yet considered … Within just a few weeks we had various opportunities to clarify our policy positions across a range of forums. Many thanks to Laura!

FACILITATION AND SPEAKING

We had the pleasure of working with Laura to deliver a session on "Vulnerability in the Workplace". Laura’s content was extremely well thought out and prepared and she delivered it beautifully. Straight away she was able to create a safe environment and made us all feel we could trust her and the content she delivered. I would thoroughly recommend working with Laura – she made the process easy and enjoyable. LinkedIn would love to have her back in the future to deliver other Inclusion and Belonging sessions.

Sevda Gurpinar, Sales Manager, LinkedIn

We held a session at the John Lewis Partnership with Laura on 'The Juggle - Balancing Career Progression & Family Life' for our Working Parents Network. Laura created an engaging space where our participants in the session could share their experience and ask questions. Laura was really easy to work with and took the time to understand our requirements and how to pitch the session for our organisation, sharing really valuable advice and tools that our Partners can use to find their own better balance. Thank you Laura!
