“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 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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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!“

Implementing processes is one way to increase the capacity of yourself and your team. Documenting processes and coordinating with your team on who takes on different steps can provide more space to move work forward. There are three ways process can improve your capacity.
As a business owner, you know that understanding your team’s capacity, planning service delivery around that, and being open with your team about capacity expectations, will help you to be prepared for changes in client and team member availability and needs. Determining the capacity for each team member is not always straightforward. Assess each team member now to be better equipped going forward.
As a business owner, do you know your capacity? Knowing how much you have available in a typical week to service your clients, while still running your business, will ensure you can build your business without burning yourself out.
