Since I met Laurel, my career changed completely. She is a source of inspiration and a role model for me. I was lucky enough to meet her in person in Turkey and Morocco, and then worked remotely with her as a mentor and coach, right before starting my international career. Her energy, enthusiasm, and guidance helped me to believe in myself and fulfill my dream of starting a career abroad. Her solid experience in human resources and knowledge of the process allowed me to set my plan and take the right steps. I’m also very grateful for her support after I lost my job during this challenging 2020. She advised me on every step while approaching companies and connecting with the right people. I’m deeply thankful for Laurel’s mentorship and coaching, and I would definitely recommend her coaching to anyone who needs professional and personal guidance.

I have been fortunate to consider Laurel a coach and a mentor for several years, both informally and by completing a full 6-month coaching program. Since the first time we met, I was blown away by her energy and enthusiasm, her ability to inspire people and to guide them in finding a path forward by asking the right question. Laurel has helped me tackle several goals regarding my career as well as my financial and emotional wellbeing. Working with Laurel I have not only achieved my goals or defined a clear path forward that will help me get there, but I also learned tools and techniques I can flex and use in a variety of situations. I am always impressed by the genuine interest, undivided attention, and objective guidance she offers every time I find myself in need of coaching and advice.
Through my work with Laurel I have learned so much about myself, having identified both my strengths and my blind spots, and I feel I’m much better equipped and more confident when tackling new challenges. I am amazingly grateful for the incredible progress I already made with Laurel’s help, and I feel fortunate to know whenever I need some support and guidance, she is only a phone call away! I strongly recommend Laurel to anyone looking to make a bold move, improve their life, or just get some clarity on the path forward, whether it be on the professional or personal front. It’s a journey you won’t regret!

As a small business entrepreneur, I have personally experienced positive impacts from coaching conversations with Laurel. Laurel truly cares about me and my success; she listens intently, understands the experience I wish to create with my business partners, employees and clients, and stimulated my thinking as I have evolved and grown my business over the years, and has been a trusted partner through challenging times managing through COVID. I love how she has brought me to new insights around how I personally lead and motivate others around me, and supported me as I played with and learned from actioning creative new approaches. She is unique in her approach, so passionate and energizing, sharing perspectives and concepts from her experience with neuroscience and positive psychology, which have been fun for me to put into action and see the direct positive impact it has on those around me, furthering my success as a purpose and values-driven business. I look forward to our continued collaboration.

I have relied upon Laurel as a coach, she brings a unique set of experiences and awareness of navigating intercultural complexity and diversity inclusion to personal and professional environments. Trust is front and center for me. Laurel’s ability to relate and connect deeply and establish a trusted and safe space has allowed me to explore new ideas, acquire new skills and make difficult but empowering decisions. She coaches and guides, not by telling me what I should do, but by facilitating my own insight and thinking in ways I had not imagined. Her supportive and empowering approach was what I needed to help shift my perspectives, thought processes and approaches. The practical tools she has shared with me, have allowed me to embrace challenges, change, take risks, and successfully move in new directions.
Laurel has also a unique ability to effectively coach remotely, which is invaluable for me. Although all our sessions were virtual, I felt like she was there and then with me, and available to support me right when I needed it. Laurel is someone who is deeply passionate about helping others to succeed; if you are looking for a trusted champion to develop yourself, look no further!

I was gobsmacked at the end results. After Session 1 of definition, I self-propelled into discovery which was easy as it's an organic process that bypasses the usual linear "to do" checklist. It's an insight driven process, prompting new and different thinking. Yes, I got stuck in areas, but Laurel's natural gift of coaching guided me in unexpected ways. Surpassing what I wanted to discover, I found deep life changing clarity. If you want to improve an area of your life, you will. If you want to transform your life, this will do it!

I had the opportunity to work with Laurel in a large multi-country management of change effort in the Asia Pacific Market for Hewlett Packard. Laurel is a natural, in dealing with large organizational challenges that require reactivating top-to-bottom alignment, commitment and motivation to improve the performance of organizations and deliver long term business impact. Her ability to connect the business case for change, with
the motivations and incentives of leaders and employees makes Laurel a very effective strategist and executor of your most important management of change programs”

I was recently laid off and looking for my next career path. After putting effort into the regular actions, such as updating my resume, posting my availability on LinkedIn and various other sites, and reviewing countless job postings, I decided I needed some help and guidance. That is when I contacted Laurel Marshall at Be Inspired! Coaching & Consulting. Laurel’s background as a successful Human Resources Executive for multiple large corporations lends her ‘inside knowledge’ credence, but it was her ability to connect personally that really helped me the most during my career search. Laurel provided the framework for the ‘whole’ process of searching for my next job through her adept ability to listen intently and provide feedback through questions, examples, and technical points.
Like any good coach, she kept me focused on the task at hand, but did not do any of the work for me. At the same time, she emphasized that taking a break is important, and that having fun is part of the career search process. The result is that I found my next career path. It is important to note that I did not just accept the next job that came along; through Laurel’s coaching and guidance I was able to discover what mattered to me in a career and search out and accept the career that best aligned with my goals. If you find yourself in need of some professional direction, with just the right amount of personal discovery, I would highly recommend Laurel’s services at Be Inspired! Coaching & Consulting.

Working with Laurel has been one of the best decisions I have made professionally and personally. Laurel helped me identify my Achilles heel, tackle obstacles, and make lasting decisions changing the course of my life. Her ability to facilitate discovery and direction allowed me to self-reflect and change my thought process. I learned to become organized, how to set realistic goals and methodically work towards them. She has a profound business sense, savvy and intuition which sets her apart. Finally, for the first time in my life, I am less stressed, busier, more organized, and happier. She has showed me you can be successful in all areas of your life and have balance. I am forever grateful, to have her as a coach!

Facing the dismal employment market for university graduates brought on by COVID-19, and limited support from campus career services, Laurel helped me navigate the obscurity and complexity of landing a job in a highly competitive tech market. She broadened my perspective on industries and roles I could take on, helped me translate my internships and volunteer experience into corporate-ready capabilities, prepared me with the skills and confidence to showcase my strengths through my resume, social media, and interviews, and taught me how to navigate, network, and open doors to land interviews in companies that had no available jobs posted. The exposure to a network of senior leaders in my target companies helped build my momentum, created lasting systems beyond the job search, and resulted in the first role with a company I’m proud to be part of a new management development program, with an exciting future to learn and grow.
