**********************************************************************

Laura has spent over two decades coaching entrepreneurs, executives, and professional service leaders who feel like they’re working harder and harder for diminishing returns. Her work focuses on uncovering blind spots, shifting unhelpful patterns, and helping leaders build businesses that support the life they actually want, not the other way around.

Through Venture Coaching International, Laura supports clients across North America with business, executive, and communication coaching.

She helps them move from chronic overwhelm, poor cash flow, and firefighting into focused execution, stronger leadership, and more predictable growth.

Her clients range from trades and franchise owners to professional experts and consultants who are transitioning from “doer” to “leader.”For consulting firm owners, Laura’s lens is especially relevant: she understands the emotional load of being the rainmaker, delivery engine, and leader all at once.

We’ll dig into how to create space to work on the firm, not just in it, what emotional mastery looks like in practice, and how to turn insight into concrete habits that grow revenue, improve team performance, and give you your time back.

Proposed Interview Structure:

1. Laura, you’ve been coaching entrepreneurs and executives for over 25 years. What originally pulled you from counselling into business and leadership coaching, and how did Venture Coaching International come to life?

2.When a business owner or consulting firm leader first comes to you, what are they usually struggling with beneath the surface, beyond the generic ‘I’m overwhelmed’ story?

3. Today, who are your ideal clients, especially on the consulting side, and who are the actual decision makers that bring you in: founders, managing partners, or HR/people leaders?

4. You’ve built a long-standing coaching practice in a crowded market. How do most of your best-fit clients find you, and what have you learned about attracting serious, committed leaders versus people just shopping for ‘motivation’?

5. You offer ‘breakthrough sessions’ as an entry point. For consultants listening, how do you structure those conversations so they’re genuinely valuable for the prospect and still lead to clear next steps and paid engagements?

6. Once you’re working with a client, what does your process look like to keep them focused, accountable, and actually implementing, so they see tangible results in revenue, time, and leadership, not just good intentions?

7. You help leaders uncover blind spots. When you look at your own practice and business today, where do you feel most challenged or ‘at your edge’ as a coach and business owner?

8.Looking ahead a few years, what shifts do you see coming in how small business owners and consulting firm leaders will need to show up, especially around emotional mastery, ‘whole person’ leadership, and building businesses that don’t burn them out?”
