Meet Laura Sciore

​​When I was a child, I dreamed of being a dancer. My father, a 1950s disc jockey with a love for jazz, filled our home with music. I’d spend hours choreographing imaginary performances, building makeshift stages, and pouring my heart into creative expression.  Dancing was my way of telling a stories, expressing myself, and connecting with the world.  But as I grew older, I was told I didn’t fit the mold.  I wasn’t “built” like a dancer - I was too “fat”, they said. ​The seeds of self-doubt were planted.  I was bullied, physically and emotionally and I struggled with self-doubt, and shame. I learned to navigate my life from a place of fear and self-protection.  I became fiercely independent.  I rejected my creative side and turned to academics, and I made choices based on what I thought others wanted.  As a result, I’ve suffered from depression and anxiety for most of my life. For years, these patterns showed up in my professional life. I saw myself as a survivor. Outwardly, I built a successful career and appeared confident on the surface, but inside, I was chronically stressed, burnt out and exhausted.  The constant feeling was that something was wrong with me – I was struggling to hold it all together. It wasn’t until I discovered coaching that everything changed. A series of seemingly random, but meaningful events led me to a space where I could explore my values, rediscover my voice, and reconnect with the creative, confident person I thought I lost so long ago. Slowly, I began to change and move forward – motivated by purpose rather than fear.  Coaching reignited that sense of freedom and joy I felt as a child dancing to my father’s jazz records. Today, I help others find that same freedom. I believe that when we know and appreciate ourselves from the inside out, we can be the kind of leader the world needs - one who inspires, uplifts, and transforms.
