“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 know what to expect when I decided to work with Laurie, except that I trusted her to “care for me” during the process. I just knew I would experience some result that would be helpful to me to move forward from my “stuck place” but didn’t have any idea what that would truly look like.

I can’t pinpoint the exact “Ah Ha” moment but it did seem to be a time that a few other things related to my being “stuck” reared their ugly heads and I found this sense of, “Oh that is what Laurie meant” when she said she helps people find the person they really are versus the person they “think” they are.

The “stuck place” encompassed so many aspects of my life; work, personal relationships, self-respect, and now I have a window into who I was born to be and how to strive 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 and others. There is no coincidence in the fact we met, and only wish for others to have such “chance” meetings with her.”

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 (8/10)



“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!!!”

“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!”
~Juile van de Zande (5/10)


“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 (8/10)


“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 (7/10)



“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! ”

Cheryl_Headshot “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.”
~ Cheryl B. Richardson, PhD, CBR Consulting, LLC



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.
~Kae Scott, President, Black Case Creatives, Inc.



Dr Indu Arora “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.”

I highly recommend working with Laurie.” Leah Young-Owner of Leah Unlimited and Act2Reinvent



Lisa Hromada “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.”
