Career Coaching & Consulting

Targeted coaching for executive transitions and next-step roles.

How I can help...

My mission is to empower fellow executive professionals by providing targeted coaching sessions and actionable strategies that serve as catalysts to ignite change, facilitate growth, and unlock their full potential.

I firmly believe that personal and professional development go hand in hand; investing in your own growth will enable you to thrive both personally and professionally and also help others do the same.

Career Coaching

My tailored coaching sessions will help you to clearly identify your current position, define your career aspirations, and recognise any challenges or barriers that may be impeding your progress towards your professional goals. This may be moving into a new executive position, transitioning within your current organisation, or venturing into entirely new avenues.

Together, we'll look at practical ways to reach your goals—by identifying your values and beliefs, building confidence, developing a resilient mindset, focusing on your wellbeing, and finding opportunities to grow your leadership and communication skills.

My coaching style is practical, grounded, and informed by many years working alongside leading executives as they navigated similar periods of change.

About me

Throughout my professional life, I have had a strong interest in careers and professional development, with a desire for helping and mentoring others to navigate and advance their careers. After several years working as an investor relations specialist, this desire was fulfilled in my last role at The Investor Relations Society, where I led the professional body dedicated to advancing and elevating the role of investor relations.
I regularly draw on my wonderful 25-year career within investor relations and communications and the professional body community which gives me a greater understanding and toolkit to unpack and power-up my clients.
Aside from regular trips to London, my home is West Sussex with my husband, two children and two Korthals Griffon dogs. I enjoy travel and all things outdoors, and when I’m not pitch side at a rugby or cricket match, you may find me up a mountain pursuing my passion for skiing.

Testimonials

Laura has always struck me as the consummate professional. In the not-for-profit sector, I worked with Laura when she was responsible for professional development, then policy and communications and finally, as my counterpart when she became Chief Executive Officer of the UK IR Society. If you look at her CV, none of this surprises me.
