Laura has coached hundreds of officials from different United Nations Agencies since 2009 across the globe and is currently training Regional Senior Leaders of the World Health Organization (WHO) in Coaching Competencies for the Health Transformation in Africa.
She is also an author of two books: “𝑪𝒐𝒂𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑳𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒔: 𝑳𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒈𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒊𝒏𝒏𝒆𝒓 𝒗𝒐𝒊𝒄𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒂 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒓” and “𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑾𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒊𝒐𝒓 𝑺𝒕𝒚𝒍𝒆𝒔”.
