Custom in-person or virtual workshops for your team. 

Laurel has led private communications workshops for a variety of organizations, corporations and academic institutions–including but not limited to Atrius Health, TED, Kaiser, AMGEN, the Mayo Clinic, Harvard University, the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship, Children’s Bereavement Center, the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, and many more. 

Participants receive immediately implementable techniques and insights to improve and deepen their own communication practice (oral and written) about the work they do, the people they advocate for and the issues they care about most. She believes that the ability to communicate clearly, effectively, vulnerably and powerfully doesn’t just reconnect participants with their purpose, but is a powerful tool for advocacy (personal, institutional, cultural).

These virtual or in-person workshops can be tailored to your specific needs and include instruction on creative problem solving, authentic and clear communication, fostering resilience via writing and speaking practice, narrative building, and more. Each session blends thoughtful prompts with practical tools, helping participants process experiences, reconnect with purpose, build meaningful connections with their peers, and go on to publish or share their work more broadly if they so choose.

Sample Objectives:

  • Practice specific techniques for speaking and writing more clearly and authentically (one-on-one or to larger audiences)

  • Identify the elements of compelling storytelling and introduce these elements into their own communication practices (oral and written)

  • Draw on their physical senses to imbue their communication with depth and resonance

  • Practice using personal experience in the workplace and beyond to build more effective communication for advocacy
