Others’ experiences of working together

Let’s hear from a few people that have worked with Laura…

Laura designed and delivered some lively sessions in our internal development conference designed to promote career and development opportunities across the RELX Group (including LexisNexis Legal & Professional, Elsevier, LexisNexis Risk Solutions and Reed Exhibitions). What a response she got from the audience! A third of employees within the RELX group are aged 46 and over, and it felt like they all turned up! Thousands signed up to the conference. Laura’s sessions were so popular, she agreed to come back and record a separate Q&A session out of pure necessity. Rebecca Rodger, Global Head of Employee Experience

Laura is great to work with – expert, professional and positive. She takes a loose brief, brings focus, and delivers beyond expectation. I have seen Laura at work with academics, thought leaders and with businesses – small and large. She thrives with all. I confidently recommend the talents of Laura to others. Alistair McQueen, Head of Savings and Retirement at Aviva plc.

I have worked with Laura for several years. She is wonderfully insightful, challenging and creative in her work with people and groups. She is extremely adept at understanding organisational issues and works really well at individual, group and team levels. She is a great coach and consultant and I trust her judgement completely. She is fab! Sally Bonneywell, Founder and CEO

Laura is an excellent talent advisor and consultant. She brings extensive experience to bear at a strategic and operational level and works collaboratively with clients so that there is skills and knowledge transfer. She is also extremely credible with senior executives. I highly recommend her. Bernadette Bruton, Chief People Officer at Leeds Building Society

This coaching programme was hugely valuable, helping me rebuild my belief and confidence in myself, and more! Simon, Managing Director

Laura is unlike anyone else I know. Able to develop compelling futures and extract simplicity from complexity she is bright, future thinking and articulate, blending broad organisational knowledge with imaginative research and a deep systemic awareness. Whilst this encapsulates what Laura can do, it is how she does it that makes Laura special. Laura is driven by a love for individuality and for developing people. She revels in giving them freedom and space to grow, to be themselves, to be at their best. This means Laura is able to be both an incredibly organisationally savvy leader whilst simultaneously ‘seeing’ everyone’s potential and caring enough to support them, coach them, mentor them to achieve that. Steve, Experienced Coach and Coach Supervisor

I had the pleasure of working with Laura in her role as Director of Learning and Progression at the John Lewis Partnership. She brings a brilliant clarity to complex issues and has the ability to bring innovative and critical thinking to a broad number of areas. Intellectually dexterous, Laura is a passionate advocate of performance through people and is willing to push teams and colleagues outside of their norms to drive breakthrough thinking. She brings together her board senior operational experience with intellectual and academic rigour to help executive stakeholders think and position challenges from new angles. Patrick Winters, Partner at Baringa

Being coached by Laura gave me the sense that I was in experienced and safe hands. I was in the process of needing to make some decisions and her coaching not only helped – it literally shifted my perspective within the space of an hour. And there was I thinking I knew everything! Amongst other things, I definitely understood myself better – even after one session. If you are at a crux point or feeling stuck I would highly recommend working with Laura.
