Read on for a little info on (1) Laurie’s style (work &, you know, style style), (2) this whole “coaching” thing and (3) the results to expect!

“Laurie has an uncanny ability to get to the heart of an issue. Just when I think I know what’s bothering me, she manages to shine a new light on an old situation, helping me see my “problems” with new eyes. Laurie has a kind-hearted, insightful approach that will put you at ease!”   -  Carrie T.,  http://moneymeans.carrietallman.com/

“Laurie is effervescent, extremely focused and goal-directed, and it is obvious she cares very much that her clients realize their own potential and translate that into action immediately. Laurie uses her analytical approach to cut out the noise of the situation that is drowning out the true cause of the issue. This cause then becomes the lens through which to see the issue differently, and constructively, and also gain awareness of the other (perhaps hidden?) problems that result from it.”

Philosophy and Style

Each of us views success in a different way. For some, success means advanced academic degrees or continual upward progression on the career and money ladder. For others, it is spending quality time with family or enjoying healthy relationships.

Creating a good life is hard work. There is no way around it! In order to find and sustain a fulfilling life in all aspects, to feel rewarded and energized at home, at work and with yourself, you have to be willing to do lots of work. Some of this will require looking at things about yourself that make you uncomfortable, such as long-held fears. It also involves consistently re-evaluating your situation to ensure that it lines up with your longer term goals. It is all worth it.

The work is done with the intent that one day soon, clients will be able to do the work themselves. You will learn the framework and the tools you need to understand what you truly want and need, how to get there, and how not to get in your own way. As the saying goes, if you teach a man to fish…
