Testimonial

"I highly recommend Laura and her tailor-made NGO Management coaching program “Career Transition to the Nonprofit Sector”. Throughout the sessions,  Laura sensed my key needs and tailored the program accordingly. She filled the gaps in my Nonprofit Sector knowledge, not just sharing the formal sector overview, but bringing it to life using examples from her own decades-long experience in the sector. Importantly, I am grateful to Laura for her coaching on the non-profit job interviews. As a result, I was able to land and successfully progress in a selection process for a senior role in one of the UN agencies."
