I began working with Lauren McLaughlin three years ago after the completion of my first novel to help clear some blocks I had in taking steps toward publication. We worked not only on practical planning and goal setting but on personal issues of self-sabotage and fears of success. Having regular sessions with Lauren during the process of securing an agent and then publisher enabled me to maintain my focus and equilibrium. Lauren’s ability to positively reinforce my belief in my skills and to help me identify my own strengths and weaknesses, and her expertise in counselling me about the deeper issues and patterns that affect my success have helped me enormously. The thing I most appreciate about working with Lauren is knowing that I have someone in my corner who ‘gets me’ understands my aims and wants them almost as much as me.

If I am going to set my boat a sail into the sea, I had best be prepared for unpredictable outcomes and distorted realities. Big voices with loud outcomes and Hollywood dreams, the taste of bitter sweet symphonies of the believers, dreamers and flip out phonies who will turn you in for a piece of baloney. Life, business, relationships and sometimes the most predictable situations can change before our eyes and leave us scrambling to adjust for change. I’ve been fortunate to have Lauren by my side over the past six years. She has helped me navigate the tough waters of business and provided me with a second set of eyes, lateral thinking, confidence and genuine intuition. Lauren is filled with a wealth of experience and business acumen and is able to change a convoluted situation into a simple and quick resolution. Thanks for being there for me Lauren.

I have known Lauren for many years, personally and professionally. I recently had the privilege to have Lauren provide a session on marketing myself. Whilst I am very good at helping others promote & market their businesses, I have struggled to market myself well, so this was very helpful to have another perspective. Lauren is always very professional, considerably knowledgeable in business strategy and really enjoys helping others to take their businesses to another level. An entrepreneurial visionary herself, she applies practical skills to take your vision forward in a very real way so that it doesn't remain an unrealised vision board dream.

Lauren is the ultimate professional. She is a gifted Coach as she genuinely cares for others and wants the best for them. Very experienced in helping others.

Lauren has partnered with our firm over the last 3 years. Her experience and expertise have generated residual long lasting benefits for our executives and employees. Lauren is the ultimate professional and would elevate any business to the level they need to succeed, in any market. I recommend Lauren highly and she is also a continued valued partner with our organisation.
