Testimonials and Coaching Highlights
Past clients include Bloomberg, Monzo Bank, LinkedIn, Alpine Racing (formerly Renault Formula 1), Nissan, eMed (formerly Babylon Health). Here’s what some of her past clients say about working with Laira:
“My time with Laira has been career-changing for me. Laira took the time to get to the root cause of what was holding me back in certain areas, and in most cases it was myself. Releasing myself from the preconceptions I had in my head of what it meant to be a ‘good leader’ enabled me to stop spending so much time overthinking everything and start spending that time on more worthwhile activities.
As a result, I was able to double the size of my team, lead my team to consistently hit our quarterly targets, as well as helping the company to exceed our yearly targets. I also received a salary increase due to hard work, and am on track for a promotion. It has been noted by our CEO and my direct reports how much I have grown as a leader over the past year, and a huge part of that is down to the coaching Laira has given me.” S.A, Fintech
“The coaching with Laira helped to make us a trusting, cohesive team and to successfully complete a high-profile, complex project while staying in relationship with each other. Our ability to complete the project successfully raised the profile of my organisation within the broader field”, L.G, US Healthcare
