Her focus is on the development of transformational leadership and team skills using accelerated learning techniques to foster open communication, trust and teamwork, and innovation and creativity. The coaching and empowerment culture Laura assists leaders in creating can dramatically increase the sense of personal responsibility and ownership at every level of the organization. This results in happier, more productive employees as well as bottom-line business results.
