- Enid Walker / Senior Leader, The Significant Woman Project, CRU

"I’ve relied on Laura as a coach to help me work through important issues I’ve not been able to budge on by myself. We’ve worked on career next steps, negotiating a job offer and key decision-making. What’s most striking about Laura’s coaching is her way of quickly getting me to an “Aha” moment. It’s from this place we seem to discover where I need to go, why, and how I get there. It’s quite an impressive process!"
- Monica Rodriguez / Office of the Clerk Staff Member, U.S. House of Representatives

"I spoke in front of an audience of 150 people and afterwards, was approached by people who actually thought I was a seasoned speaker. The truth was I had never spoken in front of an audience before. My secret: coaching by Laura Fay. Laura affirmed and empowered me."
- Carol Crabbe / Non-Profit Staff member

"'Oh my gosh!' Those were my words after seeing the black and white transformation of one of Laura’s executive clients. I saw a palpable change in his ability to speak and impact a crowd of hundreds. He spoke confidently, humbly, and powerfully. What was particularly noteworthy was seeing his wisdom shared so eloquently and in such a God-glorifying way. Laura Fay’s confidence coaching made all the difference."
- Diane B. / Teacher, Immanuel Christian School

"Quick response, astute analysis, great action plan, great results."

I really enjoyed my career coaching session with Laura. Her support and honesty led me to a greater understanding of what employers are looking for. I spent the next day giving my resume and much needed overhaul. I am so grateful! Thank you for everything, Laura!

I was fortunate to have Laura's expert coaching through my recent successful interview and salary negotiation. I found her trustworthy, insightful and able to help me present my key career highlights to land the job I wanted and compensation well above the starting offer. Laura was fantastic to work with and she is masterful at her work.

For years, Laura has done a fabulous job in helping me to prepare and to gain confidence in making presentations (which I used to dread). She has a unique ability to get to the bottom line quickly (this has saved me time and money without compromising in quality). I recommend you give Laura a call. I guarantee you will be glad you did.
- John, Former CEO

I would strongly recommend hiring Laura! As a new author, Laura coached me through all aspects of my presentation: what to wear, how to be introduced, how to stand, how to end, and most of all, how to present myself and my book with confidence. Her coaching went above and beyond my expectations. I'm now my best own PR agent!
- Stacy H., Author and Speaker

My coaching sessions with Laura were fantastic! She asked powerful questions which provided great insight into the areas of my life where I felt stuck. I left our session with a clear way forward. I highly recommend Laura!

Laura coached my 30 yr. old son and he found her to be honest, direct and encouraging. He is already implementing an action plan forward. We are excited about this new chapter in our son's life!
- Diana W.

I hired Laura to coach my grand daughter after she fell apart during a presentation she was giving. It was extremely important to me that I find a coach who would build her up, encourage her with presentation tips and bring out her strengths and confidence. I sat in on their session and decided that I needed Laura's coaching too! My grand daughter and I left our session feeling renewed in confidence! Laura is a Gem!
