She is a registered Organizational Psychologist and a member of the Australian Psychological Society’s College of Organizational Psychologists.

Laura invested time to deeply understand the wider context of our business; what we are working to change and what is required of me as a leader. She helped me to examine who I am as a leader within this context and helped me to recognise how my strengths uniquely position me to challenge some of the historic culture challenges we are seeking to overcome. I have a stronger sense now of what I can achieve here.

What I appreciated most about Laura as a coach was her willingness to act as a sounding board for my thinking. She created space for me to explore options, test ideas and logically think through my options, without feeling forced down a particular path. Her questioning helped me to arrive at my own conclusions, while testing my assumptions along the way.
