FOR ORGANISATIONS
Your business is functional. Your leadership structure isn't. You see it.
Decisions land in the wrong place. Accountability drifts. Your best people are holding it together - and it's starting to cost you.
That's not a people problem. That's a structure problem.
FOR SENIOR WOMEN
YOU KNOW THIS ISN'T IT. SOMETHING'S OFF - AND IT'S BIGGER THAN JUST WORK.
You've been carrying it — the extra, the invisible, the not-quite-yours — for long enough that it just feels like the job now. It isn't. And you already know that.
That stops here.
You already know something isn’t right.
IT HAS A NAME. AUTHORITY DRIFT.
You've been doing the work. Carrying the room. Holding it together. You've proven it — more times than you should have had to.
And somewhere along the way, the carrying became invisible. The results stopped coming back to you. The recognition landed somewhere else.
That's not a motivation problem. Not a confidence problem. Not a you problem.
It's what happens when responsibility grows and the structure around it doesn't. Inside businesses. Inside the lives of the people running them.
It has a name. Authority Drift.
And it doesn't close by working harder.

Take: The Authority Drift Quiz
This isn’t theory.
I know what it feels like to be the one everyone calls. The one who sorts it. The one who carries it without anyone asking whether they should.
I wore that as a badge of honour for years. High standards. High output. No complaints. The cape firmly on.
Until my body made the decision I kept refusing to make. Seven days in hospital. The diagnosis: burnout. Not a stress problem. A structural one — I'd been carrying responsibility without authority for so long I'd stopped noticing the weight.
That's where the real understanding came from. Not a textbook. Not a framework. From the inside.
Twenty years of senior leadership — HRD at ASDA, leading global HR teams at H&M across eight markets, People Director at TenPin. I know how organisations actually work. Not how they're supposed to. How they do.
And I know what it costs the people holding them together.
Clients include TenPin, Knoops, Brighton Pier Group, Riverstone Living, Tortilla Mexican Grill and Empiric Student Property.
NOT ADVISING FROM THE OUTSIDE. FIXING WHAT SHE’S SEEN BREAK FROM THE INSIDE.
How it works.
Most solutions put the problem back on the person. Work on your visibility. Build your confidence. Communicate better. Lead differently.
That's not the answer. It's an expensive distraction from the actual issue.
Because when the structure is broken — when authority doesn't match responsibility, when decision rights are blurred, when your best people are carrying what the setup should be holding — no amount of individual development fixes that.
The structure has to change.
Laura works directly. Small number of clients. Everything built from scratch around the specific business, the specific person, the specific gap. No junior team. No off-the-shelf answer. No surface-level fix dressed up as transformation.
Whether that's a full organisational diagnostic, a one-day intensive, or six months of close-proximity private advisory — it's built to actually move something.
NOT FOR EVERYONE. FOR THE RIGHT ONES.

what clients say
"Without fail, company performance improves by double digits and team engagement, retention and development skyrockets."
DUNCAN GARROOD
CEO, Riverstone Living
"I was exhausted, frustrated and felt like I had no one who understood what I was dealing with - or why it felt too much."
KAYE
Head of Operations
"She brought the kind of structure and process that only someone with significant real world experience can bring."
BRANDON STEPHENS
Founder & Group CEO, Tortilla Mexican Grill plc
"Four months later I've been given a development plan and am deputising for the Chief People Officer. I couldn't have done it alone."
LOU
People Director
I’M NOT INTERESTED IN POLISHING BROKEN SET UPS.
I'm interested in fixing them.
I spent years being the capable one. The reliable one. The one who never let the standard drop. I built a career on it — and quietly built a life around carrying more than was ever formally mine.
I know what that looks like from the inside. The way you push your own needs down to keep everything else moving. The way the cape becomes armour. The way success can look right from the outside while something doesn't quite fit underneath.
That experience — on both sides, in organisations and in my own life — is what makes this work different.
I've sat on exec committees. Led global teams. Been trusted with the real picture in businesses that looked fine and weren't. I know how organisations actually work. And I know what it costs the people running them.
I work with a small number of clients at any one time. CEOs and leadership teams who need someone they can trust with the truth. And senior women who need someone who understands the structural reality of what they're dealing with — not just the surface version.
Direct. Bespoke. No junior team. No off-the-shelf answers.
Just someone who's been in it - and knows how to fix it.
THE NEXT MOVE.
THE GAP DOESN’T CLOSE ON ITS OWN.
You already know. You've known for a while.
In your business. In your leadership team. In the life you've built around a role that stopped fitting some time ago.
The question was never whether it needs fixing.
It's whether you're ready to stop waiting for it to change on its own.
