Who will present?

Laura is a Thinking Environment Coach, Facilitator, Consultant, and sits on the Global Faculty for Time to Think teaching the leadership and coaching framework developed by Nancy Kline.

She is passionate about ensuring that individuals both within and outside of organisations
have the opportunity to think well and so realise their potential, discover and live their values and play to their strengths, which brings motivation, energy and fulfilment, and a better business bottom line. Laura runs her own business and works with both large companies such as Heathrow, ASDA and Johnson & Johnson plus medium and smaller businesses, and entrepreneurs.
