The Journey of Laurese
From Classroom to Corporate to Coaching
Some people have a straight career path—I took the scenic route. With over fifteen years of experience spanning education and corporate environments, I’ve worn a lot of hats: talent acquisition specialist, training and development leader, partnership cultivator, and all-around problem solver. If there was a way to empower people and create impact, I was there, probably with a color-coded strategy.
My love for learning isn’t just a fun fact—it’s a lifestyle. I’ve spent years diving into education, not just as a student (although I seem to have a permanent seat in a classroom somewhere) but also as a mentor, trainer, and leader. I believe knowledge is only powerful when shared, and I’ve made it my mission to turn insights into action, whether that’s developing talent, driving change, or helping organizations thrive.
But here’s the thing: while I loved my work, I kept coming back to one core truth—people don’t just need development; they need alignment. They need to understand why they’re doing what they do and how to maximize their potential, not just in their careers but in their lives. That realization led me to holistic coaching, where I now help individuals bridge the gap between existing and thriving.
Today, I combine my expertise in leadership, strategy, and personal development to help others realize their purpose, embrace their potential, and craft a life that feels as good as it looks on paper. Whether I’m coaching, teaching, or creating transformative experiences, my goal is the same: to help people live with intention, impact, and a little bit of joy.
Oh, and when I’m not deep in a coaching session or geeking out over the latest learning trend? You’ll find me traveling, dancing, swimming, roller skating, or cooking up something unexpectedly delicious with whatever’s in my fridge. Because just like in life, sometimes the best things come from a little creativity and a lot of heart.
So, whether you’re here to learn, be inspired, or find your joy—welcome! Let’s make life an adventure.
