“Serving the American people in one of our Nation’s most demanding environments requires a deep and abiding patriotism. I am grateful for your commitment through long hours and personal sacrifice, and I appreciate your devotion to building a better, brighter future for all Americans.”
President Barack Obama, 44th President of the United States
“I cannot speak highly enough of my coaching experience with Laurie. The work we did (and know that it is actually work in the best way possible!) prepared me for a new management role amid feeling self-doubt about my ability to succeed. Through our sessions and the work she assigned between them, I was able to reframe my approach, recall my own instincts and capabilities, and walk in ready to show up on day one. I am certain that her coaching drastically increased my chances of success. Worth noting, she has a particular talent for understanding the unique challenges of leadership in new roles or with new teams, and with establishing executive presence. Can’t recommend her and the discipline of her well done coaching, enough.”
Daniel Mahanty, , Director, Africa & the Middle East, U.S. Dept. of Energy
“Laurie is a highly motivated and qualified professional with experience in all aspects of industry, government, and academia. I believe she is an outstanding professional who brings to bear a special set of skills which is very difficult to find in one individual, or even within one organization. She has insights and gifts that surpass her years, a competitive nature and determination that cannot be beat.”
The Honorable Thomas R. Lamont, Assistant Secretary of the Army, Manpower & Reserve Affairs (Ret.)
“Having Laurie as a career coach was life changing. After reviewing the strengths assessment we dove right into real world examples and ways for me to improve. Laurie would point out aspects and then I would realize the lesson as if a light bulb turned on and challenged me. I really appreciated her guided discussions to really make me work on developing my growth. Many things I had tried to work on previously made more sense and I felt I could finally put different pieces together to see the entire picture. The tools I had are now sharper and more adept, and I am grateful for the guidance and coaching from Laurie.”
Julia Prochnik, President, JASenergies, Founder & Principle, San Francisco, CA
“Ms. Laurie A. Watkins was a dynamic, guest lecturer in my FSU College of Business course, Workforce Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities. Laurie delivered a high-impact and thoughtful message to the students based on her experience as a state and national political strategist. From her book “Go from Stressed to Strong”, she used her expertise and personal story to teach my students the importance of work-life balance, relationships, and teamwork. She reminded my HR/management students the importance of taking care of oneself, co-workers, and being unafraid to speak up. In today’s world, Laurie understands the need for authentic and meaningful relationships in the workplace.”
JR Harding Ed.D, Florida State University, College of Business, Department of Management
