Laura Gaines

I’m Laura. I’m a writer, a coach, and a trainer. Having lived in three countries in my first 5 years of life I am fascinated by how different people live. I love all things water – swimming, kayaking, skiing (frozen water), and the beach. Resilience has interested me since high school. Everyone is resilient. Yet no one is as resilient as they can be – we can all learn and grow. I help people assess their areas of strength and weakness, become aware of unconscious competence, and prioritize their own needs. When you work with me, you will increase your personal resilience, find ways to model that in your areas of influence, and identify ways to teach it to those around you.
