About

▶ MY VALUE PROPOSITION

I am a purpose-driven Executive Coach that helps leaders unlock their highest potential. I come to the table with over 20 years of business and executive leadership experience in animal and human health, including positions in three Fortune 500 companies, Zoetis, Pfizer, and Novartis. I am known for being a passionate and authentic leader committed to delivering exceptional business results in an empathetic and inclusive way. I am also known for my ability to coach leaders to overcome the myriad of challenges they face in the ever-changing world.

My innate and fundamental commitment to helping others surface their full potential inspired me to start my own company, Laura Olsen Coaching and Consulting. In this capacity, I am privileged to serve as a trusted partner to executives to help them navigate the challenges they face, including driving performance, productivity, and profitability in an empathetic and inclusive way; operating with agility in times of uncertainty; and making swift and effective decisions.


▶ WHAT I AM PASSIONATE ABOUT

Partnering with emerging and high-performing executives in their journey to:
➲ understand their personal values, motivators, and drivers so they can connect more meaningfully with their work and achieve higher levels of fulfillment.
➲ elevate executive presence, build resilience, develop personal brands, increase self-confidence to combat imposter syndrome, improve EQ and self-awareness, and navigate executive isolation.
➲ transition into new leadership roles and gain the confidence and trust of their team, peers and senior leadership.


▶ CORE LEADERSHIP PRINCIPLES I FOCUS ON IN MY COACHING PRACTICE:

⭐ Having a growth-mindset.
⭐ Energizing people to accomplish goals through development and continuous learning.
⭐ Showing how to leverage strengths and experiences of the team as a whole to accomplish goals.
⭐ Leaning into change and focusing on the opportunity ahead.
⭐ Embracing authenticity and inclusivity while leading by example.
⭐ Creating safe places where all colleagues feel comfortable bringing their true selves to work.
⭐ Fostering empathy in the workplace.
⭐ Prioritizing self-care.
⭐ Practicing gratitude.
