Where coaches turn ideas into action.

Read. Gather. Lead. is a connective peer advisory experience for coaches who want to turn ideas into real action.

Read with Purpose

Stop wasting time and money on books you don’t use. Each year, we focus on three books that directly support our work as coaches.

Gather with Intention

This isn’t a typical book club. Each month, we meet online to discuss what matters and apply it to real client and business challenges.

We know leaders are readers, but reading more isn’t helping you grow.

You’re putting in the effort, but something isn’t clicking.

  • You finish books, but don’t apply what you learn

  • You move from one idea to the next without follow-through

  • You rely only on your own perspective to solve problems

  • You feel like you should be further along by now

  • You’re doing meaningful work, but doing it alone

You don’t need more content. You need a better way to turn knowledge into action.

What if you could learn with and lean on a committed team of coaches?

You don’t have to grow your business alone.

Hi, I’m Laura. I know what it’s like to read book after book and still feel stuck. Coaching can feel isolating when you’re carrying the weight of every decision on your own.

As a certified business coach, since 2017, I’ve helped business owners build strong, profitable businesses by investing deeply in them over time.

One thing has become clear: Growth happens faster when you’re not doing it alone.

That’s why I created Read. Gather. Lead.

Read. Gather. Lead. isn’t your typical book club.

It’s a peer advisory experience.

Here’s how it works:

  • Each year, we read and discuss three books.

  • Groups meet online once per month for four months.

  • Members can join for one book cycle at a time or purchase an annual membership.

  • All members get access to the Slack community during their membership period.

  • We sharpen each other and help each other grow
