Testimonials
“So much more than a workshop! I’ve used lots of facilitators before, but Laura’s knowledge on how to design a team experience that leads to deep personal and collective learning is way up there. This, combined with new, practical and fun tools drawn from her vast and varied experience in different fields results in something truly unique and always memorable.” Sarah Dickinson, THNK School of Creative Leadership, Founder/Managing Director; NOBL Collective, Managing Director
“Laura brought an entirely new, creative approach to facilitating our group of leaders that helped us break through some barriers, understand each other better, and made us realize how aligned we really are. She was engaging as a facilitator and paid close attention to the individual needs of the participants which helped the overall impact of the exercises.” Ken Beatty, COO, Arctos & Bird Hospitality Group
“Our session with Laura was a great exercise to establish what values we have in common and what we are hoping to build, moving forward.” Genevieve Desjardins, Chair of Grandview Terrace Child Care Board of Directors
“After participating in workshops with Laura, I realized that leadership skills can and must be developed by all those who wish continued success. I left her workshops feeling that I was in control of my destiny, and that the people who worked with me would be proud of the leader I’ve become. Laura is able to explain complex ideas in a simple and holistic way. She walks her talk and I look forward to attending any leadership workshop she facilitates. She is absolutely awesome!!” Ricardo Lino, Graduate of Vancouver Community College Hospitality Management program
