Become the Leader You Were Meant to Be
Sawubona! My name is Laura Dowling, but everyone calls me “LD”.
I work as a leadership development consultant and executive coach who helps leaders stop performing and start leading from clarity, authenticity, and connection.
My philosophy is simple: leaders are most effective when they connect before they command, lead from their strengths, and slow down enough to get clear on what matters.
Simply put, I help people become the leaders they were meant to be.
Change is inevitable. Leadership is how we navigate it – with intention, clarity, and connection.
“The Everyday Leader is a transformative exploration of leadership from the inside out, emphasizing the power of personal agency and self-leadership. Through practical tools, insightful stories, and a profound understanding of human development, Laura guides readers on a journey to cultivate clarity, intention, and authentic leadership. This book is an invaluable resource for anyone looking to navigate change, overcome challenges, and make intentional choices that lead to a fulfilling and impactful life. A must-read for leaders at every level who seek to empower themselves and others in today’s complex world.”
– Dr. Marshall Goldsmith is the Thinkers50 #1 Executive Coach and New York Times bestselling author of The Earned Life, Triggers, and What Got You Here Won’t Get You There.

Leadership & Career Coaching
Individuals, Athletes, Leaders
Individual coaching is for the leader who knows there’s more – more clarity, more alignment, more impact, but can’t quite access it alone.
Maybe you’re in transition: a new role, a career shift, an identity that’s evolving faster than you can name. Maybe you’re performing well on the outside but feeling disconnected on the inside. Maybe you’re simply ready to stop leading on autopilot and start leading with intention.
Leadership Development
Curriculum Design & Facilitation
Consultative leadership development and facilitation enhances your people’s engagement and business strategy.
For organizations ready to invest in transformational leadership capacity.
Team Culture Coaching
Sport & Work
Every team has talent. Not every team knows how to align it.
Team effectiveness coaching is where individual capability becomes collective performance, where trust isn’t just nice to have, it’s the foundation of everything you do.
Retreats, Workshops & Team-Building
“Step away to move forward.”
Customized leadership retreats, workshops, and team-building experiences take your people out of the relentless pace of daily operations and into an environment designed for depth, clarity, and genuine connection.
Assessments for Your Toolkit: Inside-Out Development
Isn’t it odd? We only see our outsides, yet everything happens on the inside.
Personal and team assessments make the invisible visible. They reveal the strengths, patterns, beliefs, and dynamics that shape how you lead, decide, and show up, so you can develop with clarity instead of guesswork.
As a Leadership Coach, I know that leaders who are in touch with their true selves are unstoppable. They can change the world.
“I wouldn’t be where I am today in terms of self-awareness and self-confidence without Laura. She showed me how to lean into my values and aspirations, and this has led me to build opportunities for myself that I had never envisioned.”
