About Laurie
MCC-credentialed coach with 25+ years of financial services leadership. I've sat in the seat my clients sit in — promoted for results, then handed a team and expected to lead differently. I work with VPs in professional services to close that gap: decisively, sustainably, and without burning out the people around them.
You were promoted for your results. Now the old playbook isn't working.
Your team waits on you for every decision. You're reviewing work you should be delegating. Leadership feedback says "be more strategic" — but you're too deep in the weeds to see how. You're rehashing work at home instead of being present. You know something has to shift. You're just not sure what.
What changes when you stop being the person your team can't function without.
Clients come away with a clear leadership identity, a team that executes without waiting on them, and the headspace to think strategically. They leave work at work. They make decisions and stand behind them. The pattern that emerges: more impact, fewer hours, and a team that's finally performing.

I enjoyed your style of coaching that provided gentle nudges to help me on my development journey.
To help leaders who are ready to do things differently learn to lead in a way that scales.
I chose to transition from the executive table to work with leaders who were ready to do things differently — to elevate themselves and the people around them. I coach VPs in professional services because I know what it takes to make that shift. Not theory. Lived experience, rigorous frameworks, and a direct approach that moves quickly from insight to action.
From overwhelmed to strategically focused — in 6 months.
