​

Laurie founded Greater Good Leadership with the knowledge that leadership is a "ripple effect." Organizational leaders create their own ecosystems and spheres of influence and they have a rippling energy-impact on those around them, whether intentionally or unintentionally, negative or positive, so it is key to create more awareness in leaders and help them create a positive-energy ripple for greater impact and results. People want to work for energizing leaders who create organizations of trust, belonging, meaningful work with personal rewards and also for greater purpose connected to local and global communities, and to help improve our ever-growing fragile environment...leadership for the greater good of all around them.
 
Laurie has a PhD in Organizational Leadership & Change, a post-doctorate in Positive Organizational Psychology, an MBA/Masters of Business Administration, and a BS in Marketing. Her mission is to bring top-level, evidence-based coaching and facilitation to executives, leaders, and students to not only strengthen the individual, but the entire organization through the “positive-energy leadership ripple effect.”
