Lead with Confidence. Grow with Purpose.

Helping purpose-driven leaders—especially mid-career women—grow into more confident, authentic leadership and navigate pivotal moments with clarity and impact.

You’re a purpose-driven, mid-career leader with a strong track record—and a growing sense that something needs to evolve. You might be feeling stretched, stuck, or ready for the next level of leadership—one that feels more impactful and aligned with who you are.

I help mid-career leaders navigate pivotal moments—with coaching that supports both leadership growth and career clarity. I work especially well with women who want to lead with greater ease, authenticity, and confidence—whether they’re stepping into a bigger role, facing complex challenges, or reimagining the next chapter of their leadership.

Laura Bunch, MBA, CPCC

I bring 20+ years of leadership experience in tech and higher education, including 15 years at Stanford GSB, where I coached and facilitated programs for thousands of professionals worldwide.

My clients value my calm, strategic presence and my ability to integrate mindset and behavior change for lasting leadership growth.

Client Testimonials

  • Coaching with Laura was a gamechanger for me. I don't say that lightly. Her calm demeanor and subtle but forceful inquiries help you really dig deep as to where you are today and where you want to go tomorrow. As a result, I have rediscovered my confidence and joy in what I do. My favorite part was how she just "got me" and knew-from the sound of my voice-that I was smiling inside and was ready for the next step. Because of Laura, I found the strength to leave a toxic work situation and take on a new opportunity with people that truly value me.

    — Terri, Healthcare Communications Executive

  • “Laura is an amazing coach. I worked with her over a two-year journey to help me clarify a vision, confront my fears, and ultimately achieve my goal of moving my family and career from Silicon Valley to Vancouver.

    Laura has a rare combination of humility, curiosity, and calmness that creates deep trust and made me look forward to every opportunity I had to speak with her.”

    — Eric Wong, Principal, Organizational Effectiveness, Adobe

  • “I always recommend Laura to anyone seeking a coach because I've never met anyone with her superpower - the ability to cut through the clutter of thoughts when facing big leadership decisions and quickly get to the root cause, the values it represents, and how that can inform my next steps. She's an excellent listener for whatever is unsaid, and her calm presence allows me to uplevel my leadership with confidence.”

    - Katie Hobson, Strategic Advisor to startup CEOs, Fractional CxO

Importantly, she integrated my professional aspirations and personal life into our discussions.”
