YOUR 2027, BY END OF DECEMBER:

  • A one-page strategy and execution summary

  • 3 to 5 clear annual priorities

  • Q1 Rocks, each with an owner

  • A scoreboard of the numbers that matter

  • A meeting rhythm that keeps it alive

Sound familiar?

“I can't keep carrying the whole plan in my head.”

“We can’t operate like this anymore.”

“We need a real strategic plan, not another offsite that goes nowhere.”

“Our year has no structure. We just react.”

“I need someone else to run the room so I can actually be in it.”

If one of those made you nod, this is what Confident Start is for.

01
Get clear

An assessment across Strategy, Execution, Cash, and People, plus a working session with you, the founder or CEO. We figure out where you really are before we plan where you're going.

Sound familiar?

02
Build the plan

A facilitated 2-day, in-person planning session with your leadership team. We work through your vision, your annual priorities, and your first-quarter Rocks.

03
Launch with confidence

We wrap it up together. Your one-page strategy and execution summary is finalized, your Q1 Rocks have owners, and your meeting rhythm is set. You walk into January with priorities that are decided, owned, and written down.

  • "Her process is simple and clear and empowering."

  • "She’s someone who makes you better. She helps you think critically and work through problems rather than just giving you the answer. You’ll find yourself looking at things in ways you never thought of before."

  • "Laura helped implement Scaling Up at our company, leading to expansive growth. She expertly navigated our stakeholders while advising us on strategy, execution, cash, and people, all while understanding the importance of our mission, values."

  • "Laura is a gifted facilitator who can cut through inertia and make everyone feel heard and valued. I would highly recommend Laura to advise on any scaling company."

  • "Laura helped our firm in a critical transition period and is helping us grow as a team. In a time period where I really needed confidence, she made me play with more depth, strengthened my belief in a bigger mission and encouraged me to think with a long view."

  • "Laura is a Shepherd of Progress. Have a goal? She'll help you come up with an actionable plan to reach it. Don't have goals? She'll help you make them. Not sure what could be possible? She will challenge you and ask the tough questions to figure it out!"

  • "You give people the space to figure things out, but you’re always there when you need support or a sounding board."
