“I truly believe I would not be the leader I am today if I had not gone through coaching.”
In this episode, Laura Furner, Chief Operating Officer at Alphastar Capital Management, LLC, shares how coaching transformed her leadership, boosted her confidence, and built trust across her team. She explains why she chose coaching over traditional training, how she found her voice in tough conversations, and the personal breakthroughs that followed. Laura reflects on the systems she still uses, the value of having a “vault” for honest feedback, and the lasting impact beyond work—including better communication at home, clearer priorities, and why she urges leaders not to wait until they feel “ready” to start.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- How coaching builds lasting confidence and clarity in leadership
- Why having a safe space for honest feedback changes everything
