About
I help early/mid-level project managers move into cross-functional roles and senior leadership. I support designers, developers, coordinators, and content folks to move to into expanded responsbility and better-fit roles. And I help folks get buy-in for their passion projects and gain influence and support in their workplace. Build your leadership skills, identify opportunities and challenges, and build a plan to get there - easier said than done?
I'm currently a Director-level leader at a boutique digital agency who is turning successful direct client projects into ongoing partnerships, establishing scalable studio-wide processes, and leading brand and growth strategy. In my last role at large publicly traded media company, I tripled our client revenue; built a custom in-house software solution for requesting, tracking, and billing thousands of projects a year; secured increasing CAPEX YOY; tripled my headcount; and turned around a legacy of poor staff engagement scores into a high peformance crew who had fun and won awards.
Everyone has heard of the growth mindset. But it's not like there's a bootcamp or certifcation for the soft skills needed to grow your career or earn influence in the workplace. But if you have the instincts to organize and do successful work daily, you can cultivate these skills. With a regular cadence of assisted reflection, precise articulation of goals, stretch projects, practice and follow-up, your growth can fast-track instead of waiting around for your job to serve up those opportunities.
I can help you switch industries, change roles, take on greater responsibilty, move into leadership and discover what you really want to acheive.
I particulary love to chat about: stakeholder management, change management, process building, hiring and performance management, culture building, iterative innovation techniques, cross functional process, scheduling and workbacks, estimating & cost tracking, pricing models, design process, UX, content strategy & development, navigating ambiguity and the creative process.

I reached out for Laura's mentorship when I was beginning a new project manager position. I loved her agency and digital background. Laura provided me with the guidance I needed to confidently jump start my first 90 days. She was thoughtful and attentive when I had questions and provided great advice to help me work through areas that were unfamiliar to me in my new role. She truly loves helping others succeed; I would not hesitate to reach out for her mentorship. Thank you Laura!
