A bit about Laura
- CEO and Executive Coaching
- Interpersonal Communication
- Leadership Development
Meet Laura Vaughan
She brings to her work a CPA designation, a degree in Music Performance from the University of Western Ontario and a Master’s in Management and Professional Accounting from the University of Toronto and earned her leadership stripes during her 7 years running a $40M business with her Dad and her husband (you can ask her what that was like over a coffee), through the 2008 economic crisis.
Today, she’s on a mission to help the world’s leaders show up more competent and more confident, so the world’s workers can do the same. Laura’s life experiences include scaling literal mountains (figurative ones too), dragging herself over the finish line of a half-ironman and saving the life of one 88-year-old man.
