Laura.
Hi, I’m
At age 8, I did my first aerial. I’ve been turning things upside down ever since.
From competing on the Stanford Women’s Gymnastics Team to teaching in Ghana to working with 500+ organizations, I’ve helped 50,000+ leaders build teams & organizations that thrive.
All of this derives from a simple system I developed called The Multiplier Method, a framework that transforms wellbeing into a leadership advantage.
“Laura has a knack for taking a topic we think we know and reframing it so that we see it through fresh eyes.”

Vice President, Business Group on Health

Tangible Takeaways:
Recognize that mental wellbeing is not a “me” issue; it’s a “we” issue.
Uncover root causes of rising rates of employee mental distress.
Explore an upstream-midstream-downstream framework to fuel sustainability, build psychological safety, and awaken compassion.
