Executive & Life Coaching
Sometimes the most powerful question is, what's next?
You may be stepping into a new role, navigating a transition, facing a difficult leadership challenge, or looking for a different way to lead. That's where our work begins — grounded in curiosity, candor, compassion, and accountability.

Curiosity
Asking better questions before reaching for answers.
Candor
Honest conversations, even when they are difficult ones.
Compassion
Remembering the human being in front of you.
Accountability
Expecting great things without losing sight of humanity.

About
Hi, I'm Laurie.
At the heart of my work is a simple belief: what's next can be one of the most powerful questions we ask ourselves.
For more than 30 years, I've worked alongside leaders, teams, and organizations navigating growth, change, uncertainty, and transformation. My career has spanned executive leadership, organizational strategy, culture, talent, and business transformation across technology, SaaS, biotechnology, government contracting, and nonprofit organizations.
What I've learned is that life isn't about having all the answers.
It's about having the courage to ask better questions, the clarity to make difficult choices, and the compassion to remember the human being in front of you.
Today, through What's Next? Coaching and Consulting, I bring that experience to leaders and organizations at pivotal moments — whether they are stepping into a bigger role, navigating significant change, strengthening a leadership team, building a more humane and accountable culture, or deciding what comes next.

Guiding principles
My approach combines strategic business insight with curiosity, candor, compassion, and accountability. I believe we can expect great things from people without losing sight of their humanity — and that some of the strongest leadership happens when people feel both challenged and genuinely seen.
Through executive and individual coaching, team coaching, leadership development, keynote speaking, and the What's Next? podcast, I create conversations that help people find greater clarity, confidence, courage, and possibility.
Because what's next isn't simply about where you go from here. It's about recognizing what's possible, choosing what matters, and having the courage to move toward it.

What's in it for you?
Sometimes you know something needs to change, but you're not quite sure what comes next. You may be stepping into a new role, navigating a career or life transition, facing a difficult leadership challenge, strengthening a team, or simply realizing that what worked before no longer fits. That's where our work begins.

Not Sure Where to Begin?
You don't have to know exactly what you need before we talk.
Sometimes the first step is simply a conversation about where you are, what feels stuck or uncertain, and what you'd like to be different. Let's discover what's next.
