Our founder, Laura Knights, equips audiences to deal with both the “head work” and “heart work” required to succeed at work and in life. She has spoken to audiences ranging from 10 to 300 people, and has always had a passion for inspiring individuals to discover their talents, unleash their full potential, and walk in their destiny.
Her encounters with others through her speaking have been described as transformational, enlightening, life changing, and “an answer to prayer.” Her engaging, fun, and down-to-earth communication style allows her to connect with her audience to find common ground, and lead them on a path of learning and self-discovery.
"Laura did a phenomenal job of sharing her perspective on 'Embracing Change & Forging Success.' She provided practical strategies for dealing with change and didn't hold back on sharing relevant examples. The presentation was full of life. We will definitely have to invite her back!" - Natalie Morrow, Manager, PwC
"I really enjoyed the training and Laura is a very good trainer. The models help in my role as leader and positively influence the functioning of my team and me as leader. Next to the skills and models we learned, the open discussions we had with all the participants of the training were really interesting. Those discussions showed what other managers are encountering in their teams and allowed us to learn from each other. We all work in different independent teams, often in totally different domains; however we noticed that many issues and problems are actually very similar."
- Anonymous participant, OMP Towards Leadership Program
"Laura designed and facilitated a jumpstart retreat and six-session Personal Leadership series for our AmeriCorps members. We also brought her back to provide coaching sessions for our program managers. Laura's engagement with our program has been instrumental in our retention rate. Her dynamic trainings on leadership and communication topics have contributed to the professional growth of our diverse group of members." -Marta Salas, Coordinator, AmeriCorps Project MORE
"I loved the vision mapping for career and life session at our staff retreat. Laura gave a very powerful presentation that helped me to learn more about myself, and she was very effective in communicating these new concepts to me. She provided the tools I need to improve some areas that really need to be enhanced in my life. It was also very helpful to have a one-on-one conversation with Laura during the lunch hour. She helped me to further personalize the material to my situation." - Dr. Fabian Vazquez, Ponce Health Sciences University
