Laura speaks with change agents, entrepreneurs, investors, leaders, and donors to get them past the doubt and indecision that consign their great ideas to limbo. She delivers strategic thinking, well-honed wisdom, and catalytic perspective informed by decades of navigating change across the start-up, nonprofit, political, and philanthropic landscapes.

In this episode, Karen and Laura discuss:

• Success Story of Laura
• Commit to Get Leads

o    Reach out with meaning, not with checklists. Define success as to what it might mean to the other person, not some generic definition.

• Consult to Sell

o    What are you trying to accomplish? Without knowing that, it doesn’t matter what you are trying to sell.

• Connect to Build and Grow

o    It’s all about the journey – who you are in college is not who you are going to be forever.

• Success Thinking, Activities and Vision

o    Put out public commitments – if you can name it, you can claim it.

• Sweet Spot of Success
