Laura Roccaforte

“In my own career, I was intensely attracted to working in organizations that lived their values, wanted to build strong teams, and wanted to engage employees at all levels. I thrived in those environments, and I grew both personally and professionally. Because of the leaders who developed me and the organizations I was a part of, I was given the skill and capability to be a leader who collaborated, cared for and engaged my teams, and served as a model for other teams. As a leadership coach and facilitator, I bring compassionate understanding and a belief in each person’s resourcefulness and inner wisdom. Together with clients, we create a disciplined focus to achieve more of what each person needs most.”
