“Laura has an incredible ability to translate my ideas and thoughts into a simple, actionable plan. She guided me through the abstract mental swirling that was keeping me stuck, and let me process these ideas into clear, prioritized direction. Now I can focus on execution and learning from the results, rather than quessing where to start."
Jen O’Ryan
Owner, DoubleTall Consulting
“Laura Doehle is a strong strategic thinker who brings a practical approach to business operations. With every question or challenge we faced, she was able to help us root out the real issue and build a plan to move forward. She leverages data, regardless of how robust, to deliver key insights driving real value to our team and clients.”
Sarah Potts
COO
“I so appreciate how Laura distills down to the core challenges and needs for a business owner after a short conversation. She listens to everything going on and builds a practical, achievable operations plan that aligns with how you and your business are structured. It’s very freeing to have someone in my corner helping me run my business more effectively.”
Eve Enslow
CEO, Enslow Group
“Working with Laura improved how we run our business significantly! When Laura started working with us, I was spending too much time on operational challenges and spread way too thin. She created the space to reflect on where we wanted the business to go and build a plan to move us closer to our vision. Laura leveraged the data we already had to make more informed decisions and helped us implement systems that allowed us to deliver more value to our clients. She balanced guiding us towards operational best practices while respecting the culture, relationships and values we had built our business upon. I strongly recommend Laura to any small business owner who wants to get out of the weeds and back into the why!”
Stefania
Co-Founder and CEO
“I have had the privilege of working with Laura Doehle of Elevation Business Consulting. I am working to grow my business and add to my team and needed help determining how and when to bring on additional team members. Laura has been coaching me through the process and helping me to put the proper systems in place to successfully grow my business. And it's worked! I am now three months in with two new team members and enough business to help support us all. In addition, I will be taking an extended vacation and I can't believe how calm and ready I feel to take some time away. “

“Laura Doehle is very strategic together with a talent for creating the right disciplines on a team and in an organization that leads to smooth execution and drives results. She has been an amazing thought partner to me, and her help has been invaluable. We would never be where we are today without her support. I would advise any business owner to engage Laura early and often to optimize success, stop scrambling, and have a better time along the way!“

“Laura was extremely helpful in working with me to evaluate my current business processes. This included helping with time management by reviewing the time I was spending on categories of activities, recommending strategies for calendaring and delegating work, and evaluating services I should cut. She also was a great motivator at tackling items I had let sit on my to-do list for months, opening my eyes to the time I should be spending “on my business” instead of just “in my business”. She’s pragmatic and to-the-point, and her influence showed near immediate results.”

“Laura has helped me for about a year in my business and I could not be more grateful to her witnessing of my struggles and triumphs. She asks the right questions, offers strategic solutions, and holds me accountable. Not only that but she's hand-picked some other wonderful business owners for which I am so grateful to meet with monthly meetings to discuss our work. Being a solo business person is lonely, and it's really wonderful to do it alongside others! Highly recommend her services!”

“Some of the skills that Laura uses as a consultant to create inclusive, diverse, and creative workplaces include: attuned appreciation of all individuals in the system; creating process opportunities to leverage and showcase individual and team potential-equitably; maintaining a system focused’ lens that avoids entanglement with individual and dyadic issues; and identifying unhealthy organizational patterns that require being challenged and addressed."
Naheed Sheikh
Co-founder and CEO, The Workplace Wellness Project
“I met Laura at a pivotal moment smack in the middle of the Pandemic, where I was pivoting my business and my life. Over the last year, Laura has helped me navigate through complex questions like how to stay purposeful & authentic in my goals. She helped me develop a new value proposition for my business. She was never afraid to tell me what I needed to hear–direct but never pushy. She shares candid observations without judgement. She is my trusted advisor. I highly recommend Laura to anyone that wants to take their organization to the next level.”.
Melanie Vargas

"I love the accountability of having a roadmap and setting goals every month to keep me on that, I love having one-to-ones to share what's going on specifically and get support and I love the group calls to get perspective from women in other industries!”
Tracey Warren
Owner, Ignite Your Champions
“Laura is an exceptional coach, consultant, and ally whose unwavering belief and commitment to our company’s success has infused confidence, clarity, and courage into our system."
Naheed Sheikh
Co-founder and CEO, The Workplace Wellness Project
“Laura has been an invaluable resource for me over the past few years. I never considered a need for a coach when I started my company a few years ago, but under the advice from a colleague, she suggested I reach out to Laura. She has been a sounding board, a shoulder to cry on, an organizer to keep me on track and focused, a budget guru, and a cheering team. I don’t think I would have gotten where we are today without her. Every start up executive needs someone like Laura.”

After talking with forty owners and leaders of human-related service firms, the theme that stands out is that AI is a tool, not a replacement. When you dig into it, AI is yet another innovation in a long list of innovations that have upended the world. How you move forward with the tool is up to you.
Saying yes to requests for your time and energy out of habit, guilt or people-pleasing can leave you exhausted, burned out, and resentful and without your own goals and ambitions realized. Learning to say “no” to requests that do not support your goals and values does not need to be hard or guilt-inducing.
We set big goals for our business and then get frustrated when it feels like we are not making any progress. Most big goals require time, effort, consistency, and patience to achieve. Identifying the small steps to take to hit the goals can help you stay focused on hitting the target.
