• She believes wise leaders learn not only from their own experiences but also from the lessons of others — and offers her story so clients can lead from wisdom, not exhaustion.

A Human Perspective

Outside of work, Dr. Laws has seen the sun rise over the Great Pyramids of Giza, climbed the Great Wall of China, skied the Nagano Olympic slopes, run marathons, and watched the sun set over Mount Fuji. These experiences are reminders that curiosity, resilience, and joy fuel lasting impact. She carries that spirit, grounded in kindness and purpose, into every partnership—lifting leaders, teams, and organizations to their full potential.
