Utilizing my background as a professional speaker, author, school principal & teacher, mother, and combat veteran I will help your organization focus on the Power of WE instead of ME. This is done through workshops, team building activities, and developing tools and processes catered to your business.
The Trusted Adviser program is for executives who are looking to lead as their best selves, boost performance and accountability, spend more time on growth and less time supervising routine tasks, and make better decisions amidst turbulence and uncertainty.
You meet with me privately by zoom or phone for regularly scheduled sessions to set goals, remove roadblocks, overcome obstacles, and develop action steps that get results. Additional support is available via unlimited calls, emails, or other means in between your regularly scheduled sessions.
We will operate on a renewable monthly cycle after the first quarter. Once you sign up for the program we work together to build a game plan that includes your quarterly goals, action steps to meet them, and the right meeting frequency.
WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING
I’ve really enjoyed our meetings and appreciate Laura's facilitating. I walk away challenged to be a better person every time we meet – mostly because I’m realizing my own faults through the lessons of others, which has allowed me to evaluate my actions and responses to do things in a better way. Grateful for Laura's leadership!

Adam Braatz
“Laura keeps her audience glued, you could hear a pin drop, her half hour presentation seemed like only 10 minutes! How do you take life head on? How can you make a difference? Life is fleeting, how do you accomplish your goals and have time to do the things you love? How do you handle the cultural differences on the international scene? Laura answers these questions and more!”

“Laura was magical! She presented and shared her military experiences in Iraq with the Wisconsin Veterans Museum for our quarterly Mess Night program. She really made her story come to life and had the audience captivated. One of the best speakers we have had to date.”
Jen Carlson
“Laura is an incredible listener. Laura made me a better me. She made me think about different perspectives rather than settling for what is easier. She challenged me which is something that I’ve never really had in my current position. Through that, I have been able to grow as a professional and as a person. Laura has truly changed the culture and environment of our building. You are very lucky to be doing business with her! You’re in for a treat! Laura will give you 100% of herself at all times. She will make you her priority while she is working with you and you will never feel as though you’re just a client. She has a knack for listening before talking, for making you feel comfortable, and is truly a wealth of knowledge. Laura is approachable and always has others’ feelings and interests in mind.”

There’s a steep learning curve for every American soldier who deploys to the Middle East war zone. Much of that involves culture shock, and the excitement and confusion also applies to female soldiers. And when that female soldier is also a Military Police Officer, the curve gets bent way out of shape.
Laura Colbert was heartland-bred and tough enough when the Army sent her to an MP unit in Baghdad, but she quickly discovered soldiering in Iraq involved a lot more than she expected.
