If you could be better at anything, what would it be?
Do you have a great plan?
I’d like to help.
For over 30 years, I have advised people on where and how they could do better. Leadership, career planning, and personal effectiveness are my sweet spots.
As Quoted by:
What can I tell you...
What can I tell you from over 3 decades of work as a social scientist, clinical psychologist, and coach to thousands of people around the world?
Wanting to be better is an important first step, but the tricky parts are these:
- Getting crystal clear and specific (but not ‘small’) on the better you want and why.
- Selecting the smartest highway, from where you are now, to your ‘better,’ all informed by the most relevant science.
- Adding the right accountability and rest stops so you will stick it out beyond the inevitably hard moments.
- Early detection of changes that require adjustments.
Think New Year’s resolutions. Universally appealing. Rarely successful.
I bring better to getting better.
Here’s a snapshot of how I think:
- Perfect is not possible. The word should only be used for compliments (“Dr. Laurie, your advice is perfectly timed!” “Mom, you deliver your suggestions so perfectly!”).
- Better is a worthy goal and standard. Do not see it as ‘the way’ to perfect. See above.
- The key elements of achieving better are: 1. taking the time to develop a smart plan that anticipates where other noble folks have derailed and what you will do differently; and 2. following it, as the world keeps spinning.
My purpose: offer specific and practical guidance and support that leads to ‘better’ where it matters most to you.
Warmly,
Dr. Laurie
You’re in experienced hands.
Dr. Laurie understands people, psychology, and complex situations in a way that most of us get elementary arithmetic. My advice? Listen to Laurie. Really listen.
Today, I am a better father, husband and business leader because of Dr. Laurie.
Dr. Laurie is transformative. I highly recommend reading anything she has written, listening to her advice, and taking advantage of any opportunity to engage her expertise.
Dr. Anderson is at the very top at confronting root-cause issues, no matter how deep, and building a plan that leads to sustained success.
I will read anything she writes and show up whenever she’s got something to share.
