Hi, I'm Laura!

I am an experienced innovation and leadership expert with over a decade of experience driving organizational change and growth. My expertise lies at the intersection of innovation, storytelling, and human-centred design, which I have applied across diverse sectors including government, education, and the private sector.

I work with organizations across sectors, helping them adopt and scale innovation, goal setting and engage teams. I have successfully coached executive teams, developed change management strategies, and led training sessions that have resulted in measurable improvements in performance and alignment. I spend part of my time as a Professor at Durham College, where through teaching Communications, I am guiding students in mastering essential skills for the workplace. 

In addition to my coaching and teaching roles, I have held leadership positions in communications and marketing, where I led strategy development, supervised creative teams, and managed high-impact projects. My work has earned me several accolades, including three Hermes Creative Awards and the North American Employee Engagement Award.

My approach is deeply rooted in human-centered design, ensuring that all my workshops and coaching sessions are tailored to the unique needs of each client. I am certified in Design Thinking from the Harvard Extension School. Whether facilitating innovation labs or guiding leaders through strategic challenges, I focus on creating environments that foster creativity, psychological safety, and sustainable growth.

At the end of the day it's the people who drive results. My approach is always people-first, making sure spaces and equitable, safe and every voice can step forward. 

I'd love to hear about you, you or your teams goals and start you on the journey to getting there together!
