About me

Executive Coach - Amersham, London & South East

Hello!

I’m an executive coach, agile coach, facilitator, and trainer who helps organisations develop the mindset, learning capacity, and skills to outperform their competitors. My clients find our work together transformative, and come from diverse professional and cultural backgrounds.

Many of my clients are organisations who want to transform their culture, leaders, and teams to get products and services to market more quickly, with more focus on the right products for their market. I also work with individuals in career transition and have coached professionals in transition through Careers Springboard in Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire.

Prior to becoming a coach, I delivered enterprise software projects for over twenty years as a project and programme manager, before that a principal technology consultant, and before that a software developer. I have tremendous empathy for people doing the challenging and high-stress work in development organisations, having done many of those roles myself.

I design workshops and full learning programmes as part of organisational change programmes. The most successful learning programmes are implemented with an engaged sponsor and a clear understanding of why they need to change. I have proven effective at facilitating discussions with a cross-section of stakeholders to understand your expected business outcomes clearly. I will recommend tools for measuring the impact of our work together.

As a leadership coach, I have successfully coached leaders to:

- Develop strategic thinking
- Improve communication with colleagues and business partners
- Energise their leadership team
- Develop an agile mindset to manage projects more effectively
- Navigate a path through a career transition

I'm proud of the results my clients have achieved. Please read more testimonials here.

Professional qualifications

My continuing professional development takes in the latest thinking in leadership, effective teams, product innovation, and business agility. I believe all of these domains are important to be effective in my coaching practice. Please see the list of my professional memberships and qualifications here on my Profile.

Pro bono work

I actively support by doing voluntary work at the BBOWT Wildlife Trust in Tring, Buckinghamshire; and for Apps for Good, an innovative schools programme that teaches kids business, career, and technical skills.

Fun!

I love getting outdoors for hillwalking, kayaking, skiing, running – anything that involves mountains or mud!

I look forward to hearing from you. laura@futurefocuscoaching.org

Laura taught me some very useful tools and made me discover ways to improve my soft skills by leading me to come to realisations on my own instead of saying things out loud, which proved very effective.

I found working with Laura to be a really positive experience, providing time to consider aspects of leadership and to think about how I could be more effective. The coaching sessions gave me an opportunity to reflect on my role as a leader and gave me the insight and tools I needed to empower others, build confidence in myself and get the best out of my team.

I attended a workshop facilitated by Laura which was eye-opening. I liked that the exercises were held very minimalistic, which put the focus on the learning and the experience of the participants. Laura used very few, pointed open questions to facilitate the knowledge exchange after each session. I could tell that she is a very good listener and will put her ego aside to aid the group's learning. I can wholeheartedly recommend Laura as a coach.

I worked with Laura when I was stuck in a rut with my career and didn't know what steps to take in order to make effective changes. Laura came across as very approachable and sincere in wanting to assist me. She encouraged me to try a different approach. She gave me reading material and suggested stepping stones to reach my end goal. After only a few sessions with Laura I had applied for another job. The first time in 6 years! I can honestly say I wouldn't have considered that job if I hadn't had the sessions with Laura. I got the job which was much more suited to my personality and I have been very happy doing it. M.W
