"I hired Laurie as a leadership strategy consultant. We needed a framework to build more cohesion and shared focus. Our leadership team is made up of senior people from regions all over the globe. The team dynamics are rich and complex. Laurie has a level of professionalism that is both confident and relaxed, firm and compassionate, and challenging and supportive. We were in a senior team transition period that was quite sensitive due to the background hum of succession questions. Laurie was able to allow executives to have the conversations that needed to be held, and facilitate the communication so that we could address issues as a team, see where we were going, and move forward with clear actions and accountability."
