Speaking and Motivational Peptalks
From small group to large conference centers I work hard to share your vision through inspirational storytelling and authentic connections. Bringing a mindset of not only dreaming big, but believing big - a dangerously inspiring combination! Laura believe we came here to make a difference and we shouldn’t let anyone tell us otherwise. It’s the outliers that make outlines to the ones that need it most. Catch the down and out and bring them up and in. It only takes one connection to change a trajectory.

“As a secondary principal I have worked with Laura in several different capacities. She has worked directly with students to create authentic learning experiences with great success. She worked directly with teachers to enhance their skills through Agile teacher training. This training began the processes to enhance student learning experiences and opened doors for the teachers to grow and enhance their learning. Laura is a passionate and proven educational leader that is focused on student experiences and teacher growth.”
Dr. Tom Ward, Superintendent
“I am delighted to provide this testimonial for Laura Williams, who has proven herself to be an exceptional educator that knows the importance of preparing all students for the 21st Century and beyond. I have had the pleasure of knowing and working closely with Laura for the past nine years, and her dedication to enhancing learning experiences for students is truly commendable.One of the things that sets Laura apart is her passion for personalized learning. She understands that each student has unique strengths, interests, and learning styles, and she tailors her instruction to meet the diverse needs of her students. By leveraging technology and utilizing various digital platforms, Laura creates a learning environment that fosters individual growth and allows students to take ownership of their learning journey. I wholeheartedly recommend Laura for any role that requires a forward-thinking, innovative, and passionate educator.”
