“Laura was extremely helpful in working with me to evaluate my current business processes. This included helping with time management by reviewing the time I was spending on categories of activities, recommending strategies for calendaring and delegating work, and evaluating services I should cut. She also was a great motivator at tackling items I had let sit on my to-do list for months, opening my eyes to the time I should be spending “on my business” instead of just “in my business”. She’s pragmatic and to-the-point, and her influence showed near immediate results.”

“Laura has helped me for about a year in my business and I could not be more grateful to her witnessing of my struggles and triumphs. She asks the right questions, offers strategic solutions, and holds me accountable. Not only that but she's hand-picked some other wonderful business owners for which I am so grateful to meet with monthly meetings to discuss our work. Being a solo business person is lonely, and it's really wonderful to do it alongside others! Highly recommend her services!”

“Some of the skills that Laura uses as a consultant to create inclusive, diverse, and creative workplaces include: attuned appreciation of all individuals in the system; creating process opportunities to leverage and showcase individual and team potential-equitably; maintaining a system focused’ lens that avoids entanglement with individual and dyadic issues; and identifying unhealthy organizational patterns that require being challenged and addressed."

“I met Laura at a pivotal moment smack in the middle of the Pandemic, where I was pivoting my business and my life. Over the last year, Laura has helped me navigate through complex questions like how to stay purposeful & authentic in my goals. She helped me develop a new value proposition for my business. She was never afraid to tell me what I needed to hear–direct but never pushy. She shares candid observations without judgement. She is my trusted advisor. I highly recommend Laura to anyone that wants to take their organization to the next level.”.

"I love the accountability of having a roadmap and setting goals every month to keep me on that, I love having one-to-ones to share what's going on specifically and get support and I love the group calls to get perspective from women in other industries!”

“Laura is an exceptional coach, consultant, and ally whose unwavering belief and commitment to our company’s success has infused confidence, clarity, and courage into our system."
Naheed Sheikh
Co-founder and CEO, The Workplace Wellness Project
“Laura has been an invaluable resource for me over the past few years. I never considered a need for a coach when I started my company a few years ago, but under the advice from a colleague, she suggested I reach out to Laura. She has been a sounding board, a shoulder to cry on, an organizer to keep me on track and focused, a budget guru, and a cheering team. I don’t think I would have gotten where we are today without her. Every start up executive needs someone like Laura.”
Ann Albrecht

“I would HIGHLY recommend Laura to any friend or family. She is experienced, knowledgeable, friendly, and kind. She will approach your situation with wisdom, skill and just the right amount of humor. I worked with Laura as I built my business, and she helped me grow the confidence and develop tools needed to succeed. I only wish I could have worked with her sooner! You will immediately know working with her that she truly cares and is passionate about her work, and she will be your biggest advocate and fan as you work towards achieving your business goals.”

“Laura has performed some Herculean feats that include overhauling and redesigning our operational processes to better match company goals; identifying and rectifying system inefficiencies that were impeding growth; and supporting an organizational mindset towards healthier boundaries through effective prioritization. Collectively, these operational and process changes have helped to improve and sustain the health and wellbeing of our business and our team. It is also not an exaggeration to say that Laura’s vision and foresight helped our system to navigate post Pandemic fiscal challenges and emerge with renewed creativity, stability, and market edge.”

“The opportunity to meet other entrepreneurs and hear how they approach a challenge has been valuable, as well as the motivation of breaking a huge task into steps that can be accomplished”.

“It was beneficial to talk out everything that was on my mind with my company. Having the group there to help prioritize the chaos and start creating order helps me move forward.”

“Laura Doehle is a transformational business coach for small business owners. She worked with me to create a road map and put in place best practices for my leadership team in terms of clear goals, metrics, dashboards, and efficient processes. As a result, we have dramatically increased our growth, and the efficiency of our operations. Best of all, I am no longer "scrambling" and instead I have truly evolved from a scrappy, hardworking founder, into the organization's leader. Laura is very strategic together with a talent for creating the right disciplines on a team and in an organization that leads to smooth execution and drives results. She has been an amazing thought partner to me, and her help has been invaluable. We would never be where we are today without her support. I would advise any business owner to engage Laura early and often to optimize success, stop scrambling, and have a better time along the way!“

Business owners like to set big goals that align with the vision they have for the company. While the big goals can be motivating, sometimes they feel so far off they can be demoralizing. Do not let big goals diminish your drive. Use simple math to figure out a bite size data point that you can monitor, track, and feel good about your progress towards your larger goal.
Many owners put off vacations or stay connected to work while away thinking the business cannot run without their involvement every day. Unfortunately, we will all experience unexpected emergencies that force us to step away for a period. Doing the prep work now will help your business continue moving forward when you cannot be present.
Uncertainty is a given in your business. There are forces you cannot control that impact how your business moves forward. As you face uncertainty in your business, your plan, core strengths and values, and flexibility will enhance your ability to achieve your goals.
We all know it takes money to make money. Yet business owners are intense about watching expenses and not adding anything new that is not necessary or does not have a clear impact on the revenue of the business. In doing so, many opportunities for efficiency and revenue are overlooked. It is time to look at expenses as an opportunity to grow and strengthen your business.
