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.

A Must!

Whether from her podcasts or her in-person sessions, Laura’s knowledge and insight is a must for professional and personal development. I always learn something that pushes me to grow in important ways I never would have on my own! Thanks, Laura!
