Keep The Content Coming

Each episode is packed with content that counts. Step by step, Laura helps high level executives (and those of us who aren’t) succeed in our mission to become better. It’s easy to binge these episodes, but make sure you stop and put into practice what you’re learning! You can’t help but grow! So great.

Sharing Essential Skills for Success

What I love most about this show is how it recognizes the differences and uniqueness of those who are less extroverted. Extroverts look natural at some skills but mostly it is because they have done them more. But the techniques discussed on this show can level that playing field. Great Stuff!

Making a difference to each person you meet

I never tire of hearing a Podcast with Laura. Her guests are thoughtful and engaging; her skills in making each episode FIVE STAR always make me feel better, thanks to her and the guest speakers. Each episode is a warm and engaging conversation, which has me going from excitement to smiling to recognizing each person that I speak/meet with, is a one-of-a-kind person! Recognizing other people’s gifts, discovering what their potential can be is both exciting, humbling and mind-blowing when the light bulb turns on! It’s humbling to see how each person can make a positive impression by something as simple as “being a helper”. How can you be a helper? Listen and appreciate each person you cross paths with is unique where both can grow and smile from a heart-led conversation.
