''I spent an hour with Laura and it was one of the best hours I've had in a very long time.''
Kissairis M. Muñoz
She helped me hone in on my values, what's important to me in the workplace, and even consider options that I hadn't thought were on the table previously. Her approach is so warm and empathetic, which is so important when you're feeling vulnerable about work & life. Cannot recommend working with her enough! Thank you, Laura :)

She has such a wealth of knowledge and expertise. Laura was able to get to the bottom of exactly what I had been experiencing in my professional life and offered invaluable advice and tips that I can use straight away. I highly recommend reaching out to Laura for any career coaching. She's truly worth it.

''I really appreciated the honest and useful advice and tools to use and refine my current work outlook.''
David Frayne
I had the pleasure of working with Laura over the last four months. Laura is very easy to work with and uncovers areas and behaviors that may have influence in your day to day work life. I really appreciated the honest and useful advice and tools to use and refine my current work outlook. I would certainly recommend her to others seeking some professional coaching or those in a role where you feel you need a career 'sense check'.

''With the amount of time you spend at work, why wouldn't you get guidance from a professional?''
N W
With the amount of time you spend at work, why wouldn't you get guidance from a professional with over a decade in the business?! Laura at Optimise patiently worked with me to provide direction at a critical decision making phase. I would not have made the same decision without her guidance and I couldn't be more grateful for the support. I will be checking regularly on my career journey.

''Laura is very easy to speak with about a whole range of feelings, thoughts, problems - she always makes you feel comfortable to do so.''
Jo M
My coaching sessions with Laura have been very helpful and insightful. Even when I felt that I didn’t know what to talk about in the session, she would ask the right questions, or happen to say the right thing that would spark a direction of conversation I realised was an important thing I did want to discuss. Laura is very easy to speak with about a whole range of feelings, thoughts, problems - she always makes you feel comfortable to do so. She listens wonderfully and provides great input.
Does this sound like you?
You’re driven to succeed in all you do but you feel like life has become nothing but work and you’re starting to resent it
You’re not as present for loved ones as you’d like to be and are missing out on the fun and milestones
You’re working late and worrying at weekends, skipping the gym and losing your mojo fast
Your team aren’t getting the results you need, you’re picking up the pieces and your confidence is taking a hit
You’re comparing yourself to others, secretly self-doubting and wondering if you’re in the right job
I’ve been where you are…
and I know how it feels to question the value you’re bringing, lack the drive you once had and start to doubt whether you’re in the right place.
I rode the roller coaster of the high highs and the low lows many times over my 17 corporate leadership career. From performance to leadership, to mindset and relationship challenges, I’ve navigated the lot.
And having helped hundreds of leaders just like you to get results they’re proud of sacrificing their personal life and love what they do for work (including myself!), I’ve learned that it’s largely avoidable and easily fixed.
Do you want to learn how?
You’ll realise it’s easier than you think to get the success you crave and a life you love when you know where to look…
