Laurie Cozart MBA, MCC, MCNLP
Speaker, Executive Coach and Strategic Interventionist
About me
I have a vivid memory of the first time I “coached ” someone, I was five years old. My older brother Ray, who was 8 at the time, was being bullied at school. I remember not having any idea what to say so I just listened to him and let him share his feelings and told him what a great big brother he was.
This theme of being able to hold space for others and listen as they work through their problems and issues became a passion in my life. Complete strangers would tell me their life stories in supermarkets and at the mall. People sought me out to use as a sounding board where they could be heard on a deeper level and discuss their challenges, successes, and values.
As an executive and leadership coach, I have been incredibly blessed to be in a position to help others step into their fullest potential and witness the transformational magic that happens when someone is living within their values, is passionate, and takes action towards fulfilling their dreams and life goals. The clients I have had the honor to coach and train have inspired me to do more and be more.
