“I knew I had the talents, yet I couldn’t figure out how to move forward. For years I thought I should be able to work through this, yet I always ended up back in the same place. I felt stuck, frustrated and lacked confidence.
When I met Laurie, I knew she would be the person who could help me. She has compassion and warmth yet “so nicely” holds your feet to the fire so you can truly see/find yourself. Through Laurie’s process, I learned to let go of what was holding me back and I have a much better understanding of myself. I now see my entire life with clarity.
Living the life of your true self and using your unique brilliance is not an indulgence or an “ego trip.” Finding my brilliance is helping me be a better support and resource for the people in my life. I can be authentic – which is a more honest way of living life. It’s like walking from a black-and-white world into a vivid color world. I am grateful for my new-found “freedom.”

“Laurie is incredibly talented!! I was amazed by the level of the call- how quickly she took me though the challenges I was experiencing and also guided me though them. Her voice is very soothing and encouraging. Laurie really has a unique talent unlike any other coach. I recommend Laurie if you are looking for more of a intuitive and energetic approach to unlocking your emotional side.”

“When at one of my lowest points, Laurie came into my life. She not only helped pull me up at that moment but helped guide me for a lifetime. A wonderful, compassionate woman with the ability to rejuvenate life from the seeds that lie dormant. I am so much more today than I’d ever imagined possible. I am grateful to Laurie, my coach, my friend.”

Something Much More
“I knew there was more for me to do with my life. My dream was an idea I couldn’t let go of, but I never felt like I would ever attain it. I was afraid and didn’t know how to move forward and access it, so I was staying stuck. I had been very frustrated, and eventually felt depressed. I felt like I was a loser who couldn’t get her act together.
Laurie has the ability to make you feel that you are the most important person when she is talking to you. She has a charisma that draws you to her. She ultimately conveys her complete ability, knowledge and competence to work with you and steer you in the proper direction. You make the decisions, but she is your guiding force. She always makes you feel that she wants the best for you. She was quite instrumental in asking the right questions to bring out the very thing that was keeping me from moving forward. Her approach was very easy and methodical yet persistent in getting to the root of my frustrations.
After only our first coaching session, I now have a feeling of confidence, that what I needed was inside, just buried for so long. I now look at things from my past in a completely different light and know I can learn from them. I have an entire new perspective…..what would previously have frustrated me, or kept me from speaking up, or making me feel guilty, will no longer serve me. I finally feel free, energized, very empowered!!
If you are experiencing frustration, can’t move forward in a relationship or career, and don’t know how to get to the bottom of it, you need to at least talk to Laurie. You’ve read all the books, talked with counselors, and still don’t feel good about yourself in any way, give Laurie a call. Her program and Laurie’s counsel is the best thing that ever happened to me!! I will be forever grateful!! “

“I felt like I was in crisis with my business and my life. I was working harder but not growing the business. I had little time for my friends, family and hobbies as the business was taking so much effort. On top of it I wasn’t happy running the business any longer and was thinking of a career change but had no idea if that’s what I needed or what career would better suit me. I was angry, depressed and frustrated. Generally I was very unhappy.
I saw a presentation Laurie did. In it there was a testimonial with some of her clients that really struck a chord with me; I realized I was just like these women. They talked about how their work with Laurie had really changed their lives and I felt this might be the right fit for me.
Working with Laurie has been a great experience. Through our work together I have not only rediscovered my enthusiasm for my business but really connected with who I am. Laurie’s work is so much more than coaching, it truly is life changing. As a result of working with Laurie I have decided to keep my business while pursuing my other passions. Everything suddenly seems possible again!
Laurie helps you get to the core of who you are and discover what you need to be happy and successful. It is truly an enlightening journey that she takes you on. She is such a positive, spiritual force that the arrival is exhilarating!
I now have a greater self-awareness that allows me to make better decisions about my business and my personal life. I now have the clarity I need to identify my goals and determine how to achieve them. This clarity has given me the confidence to do the great work I am passionate about and which I now know will bring me the success I desire.
I feel fantastic! It has been an extremely positive experience. As a woman I feel there is so much more to our journey here on earth. We measure our success differently and often feel we cannot succeed in all of our many roles. Laurie provides the guidance to help you see how you can have the success you truly desire and the tools to achieve it.”

“Laurie is one smart woman. She knows how to use her intellect and her intuition to bring out the things you know about yourself deep down, but haven’t expressed. Her approach is professional, spiritual and caring. It’s like having a personal GPS: helping you tell the main roads from the detours. Thanks, Laurie!”

“I started working with Laurie when I had reached a crossroads in my life. I was extremely unhappy with where I was in my life, but unsure of how to get myself unstuck and out of the firmly entrenched rut I was in and move myself forward.
Ever patient, cheerful, resourceful, supportive and caring, Laurie helped me to identify limiting beliefs and patterns and provided me with the assistance and tools I needed to break free and start living the life I was meant to live. Ultimately, this led me to start my own business, move to a more supportive environment and begin to create a lifestyle more conducive to who I am and who I want to be.
Laurie never gave up on me, even when I did and without her belief in me, her encouragement and her knack of knowing just what to say, I wouldn’t be where I am today.
If you’re at all considering working with her, stop considering, don’t hesitate, and go for it. You won’t regret it. Start living your purpose too!”

“Laurie is the savviest of business coaches! I was wrestling with whether or not to get a side job to support my growing business, and as I talked to her about doing so, she asked me a slam-bang, million- dollar question that helped me understand that I was making decisions from a place of fear, and that, instead of moving backward, my life was giving me an opportunity to step powerfully forward.
Once she handed me that powerful “Aha” moment, there was no going back for me.
Thank you, Laurie!”

“I didn’t quite know what to expect when I decided to work with Laurie, I just knew I would experience results that would move forward from my “stuck place.”
The “stuck place” encompassed so many aspects of my life; work, personal relationships, self-respect. Now I have a window into who I was born to be and how to be that person. Now, I walk differently. I see myself differently in the mirror. My smile has a different meaning behind it. I have a different confidence in myself.
There are no words to adequately express my gratitude to Laurie for the gift she has given me and for sharing her gift with me. There is no coincidence in the fact we met, and only wish for others to have such “chance” meetings with her.”
~Cindy Wirth
Laurie has opened my eyes to a new vision of myself that rings true for me at a very deep level.
I’d never given myself permission to be true to my true nature! She’s helped me develop a framework for a new life to be lived with integrity, authenticity and wholeness. I’m so excited about my journey, and having Laurie’s coaching has been a tremendous asset and solid guidance. She is generous, caring, insightful and has an intuition that you have to experience to believe.
I highly recommend working with Laurie!
~ Julie van de Zande
“Laurie gave me keys to who I am – what my personal brand says about me – and it feels like I’ve been given a secret map to uncover treasure everywhere. Her authenticity and passion are magnetic. Even in the briefest of conversations, she offers insights and invites me to challenge the way I think and see things – cleverly reminding me of my unique brilliance.
Her system of discovery is, in itself, uniquely brilliant! She gets right down to who you really are under all the noise, and what your purpose is here. I have personally stopped chasing who I thought I was, and opened my arms (and eyes) to the man I truly am – instantly justifying my passions and refocusing me on my values.
I’m so grateful for meeting Laurie and getting introduced to her passion, purpose, and process. She is caring, passionate, purposeful, driven, deliberate, and generous – all in the most relaxed and confident way. If you’re tired of spinning your wheels without any gains, I highly recommend giving Laurie a call. She it truly a pleasure to work with.”

“With what seemed like little effort, the clouds parted, the sadness lifted and there was clarity. For the first time in years there was clarity.
I had a plan. I had the makings of a vision. But hadn’t I been happy? Yes, I had been happy but I lost my joy. Now I clearly understood happiness is something that comes externally and joy is internal. And then another break though – more like a jolt. I remembered her; this person that I had known many years ago. Thirty years ago. I knew her intimately. I liked her. She was fun, a spit fire, silly, she was brave and I remembered her. She had been gone a really long time, but now there she was looking at me and I’m looking back at her.
All I could say was, “Hey girl, where have you been?” She looked back at me and said, buried, covered, stifled, and stuffed down … waiting for you. Waiting for you to uncover me and recapture and recommit to your authentic self – to love your authentic self. To understand that there is a rightness in who you were intended to be.
There’s peace in being her. I’m so glad that you took the covers off. I’m thrilled I took the covers off. And, now what will I do to hold on to me?!”
~Alexis Griffith
“I think every person on the planet should have this experience!
I only wish I had had this experience sooner. It would have saved me from a lifetime of pain from living an unauthentic life. This experience has been good for my soul!
I’ve worked with many other assessment tools in the past, but this is the first tool that has provided multi-dimentional results that have been both accurate and complete. Laurie Polinski was able to effectively guided me, not only beyond basic self-awareness but toward real empowerment. These insights have helped me to move past limiting conditioning and claim my true authentic self.
I am happier and feel more effective overall. The CORE MAP is a powerful tool and the experience of this process has changed my life!!!”
~ Deborah Henderson
“Laurie is more than just a coach-she’s a business consultant who uses her knowledge, experience, and creativity to provide answers and ideas. She also has a great variety of resources to help implement the plan we’ve developed. Laurie was my go to person for advice on how to grow my business. I wanted someone to help me formulate a plan to grow my business and hold me accountable for working the plan. We’ve created a plan that stretches through next year of tactics and products that will help me grow my business and revenues. She’s helped me move into action things that have been on my to-do list for years. She’s knowledgeable, creative, personable and fun. She’s also dedicated to helping me grow my business at a pace that is comfortable for me. She’s very customer-focused. I now have a dozen ideas for products and services to add to my existing business, as well as a definitive plan of action and resources to help me move that plan to reality. Laurie is great at what she does – she has a great understanding of marketing and people and has great ideas to help entrepreneurs grow their businesses. It’s been fabulous working with her.”

“WOW, Laurie! I wanted you to know how important and helpful it has been for me to work with you!
So many deeper and more meaningful ideas came out in that last call that are really helping me connect to what I want to do – and how I want to help people. It’s really powerful!”

“Laurie, Thank you so much for an AWESOME session! It feels like all the pieces of this puzzle that I have had in my head FINALLY fit together!
It’s amazing to see how I can see where I was coming from a place of fear, and where I was coming from my authentic self. It is amazing how much clarity is around my life and what I am doing!!!
Thank you for helping me open up and really be honest with myself…WOW!!!! Everything makes sense now! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!”
~Jamie Betts, Ancient World Trades
“I first came to Laurie completely overwhelmed with the day to day struggles of running a business. As my business grew, so did my vision, but I felt stuck. Laurie encouraged me to think on a whole new level. Through her guidance, I have taken my business to greater heights. I’ve always had a mission, but she’s given me the tools to make that mission a reality. One of the biggest tools is the understanding of MY mission – that has enabled me to permit myself to think bigger than I ever have before. Now, after working with Laurie for two months, everything is running smoothly.
I have some amazing things planned for the future and am dreaming BIG. Thanks Laurie!!!”

“Laurie, I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate the help you gave me. In the short time that we spent together, you helped me overcome some of the obstacles that I personally have put in my way.
You also helped me to identify and better understand who I am and what I should be doing. I love the fact that I can fire my driver when ever I feel that I am going in the wrong direction and retake control of my destiny.
You truly are a transformation artist. I am so looking forward to the future that I am supposed to have.
~Cindy O’Toole, District Manager, CompuPay
“Laurie, Thanks for your help today! As always, you hit it on the head and things really seemed to come together and make more sense to me.
Woman, you are *amazing.* I don’t know how you do it, but you truly are a transformational expert. You gave me so much clarity. I wanted you to know and to see how much you have helped me.
I AM ready to get out there and do what I love to do! “

“I did not know what to expect as a result of completing the CORE Assessment. I administer assessments for various reasons to clients of mine. I was pleasantly surprised at the results I received about me. Not only was the feedback provided by Laurie insightful but it also provided me data from a different perspective. With Laurie’s professional approach and her excellent skills to interpret the findings, I was able to see where my strengths lie and in some cases there were indications that I have not leveraged what my true talents are to the degree that I should. I have opportunities to be even more effective and successful with my clients, colleagues, family and friends.This was extremely eye-opening. With this information I am able to refocus my energies and achieve better results as I continue to grow my business. I think it’s important to understand myself so I can partner with my clients to make an even greater impact.”

Thank you, Laurie. I am taking steps to bring to life my calling. Thank you so much for seeing what I was resisting and avoiding all because I was scared. The universe had been telling me what I needed to be doing and you allowed me to hear it.
Thanks again for helping me find my place in this world. You are truly a gift and a blessing in this world.

“Laurie is highly skilled and understands the need and the importance of time and action.
When I met her, I could trust her expressions and understanding of human nature. When she spoke about her process and the unique CORE MAP assessment, I knew that it is something that every person needs to in order to explore ones full potential.
It is our responsibility on this earth to bloom with full potential. Laurie’s process was a reassurance to lead my life in the direction that it is going right now. So it is the need of time.
Any reassurance and guidance towards your goals pushes you further by providing an extra motivation. Laurie has provided that extra confirmation too, as a sign of nature, to go ahead and live my life to the fullest, doing what I am supposed to do and being what I am.”

Yet, CORE actually revealed results that were nearly completely opposite from what I was believing about myself. Working with Laurie through CORE allowed me to see where I was holding myself back and how to move forward and take purposeful action toward my goals.
Taking the CORE assessment completely transformed the way I think about myself, my purpose, and what’s really important to me and how I can help more people through my work.”

When I first met Laurie, I instantly knew her guidance and support was going to help me achieve amazing results through my work. What came as a surprise was that Laurie would also help me to reconnect with a deeper part of myself that I forgot existed and powerfully transform my beliefs about what’s possible.
When Laurie recommended that we go through her CORE program together, I initially thought that the assessment would simply show me the same results as I’ve received from other personality assessments.
Yet, CORE actually revealed results that were nearly completely opposite from what I was believing about myself. Working with Laurie through CORE allowed me to see where I was holding myself back and how to move forward and take purposeful action toward my goals.
Taking the CORE assessment completely transformed the way I think about myself, my purpose, and what’s really important to me and how I can help more people through my work.
