"I had the privilege to work with Laura Mcleod during her time with the Washington Permanente Medical Group communications team. As board chair, I relied on Laura to both advise, create, and edit communication plans and content for our 1000+ member multispecialty medical group. Laura brings a wonderful mix of talents including her ability to help others tell their story with an authentic voice. If there is any additional information I can share in support of Laura please feel free to reach out to me directly."

My "Why"
I believe everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and valued—at work and in life. That belief is at the heart of what I do. When work is better for people, those ripples extend far beyond the office.
I'm also passionate about learning, exploring human potential, and the energy that comes from creative partnerships and collaboration. I thrive on creating something new. Behind everything I do is a commitment to leaving the world better than I found it and yes, ensuring that others feel seen, heard, and valued.
Laura McLeod
Connect . Communicate . Change
By nature and by nurture, I'm a communicator. Through years of experience, I've cultivated an extensive toolkit. As a consultant, writer, change maker, and thought partner, what fuels me is connecting, listening, learning, and making a difference.

WHAT I DO
"The secret to change is to focus all your energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new." - Socrates
I’m passionate about the power of strategic communication to connect, inspire, and drive change. With strategic insight, empathy, and adaptability, I excel in creating strategies that foster community and enhance engagement within organizations.
What sets me apart is my ability to balance big-picture idealism with practical solutions. I have a deep understanding of the complexities of communication in dynamic environments and a proven track record of delivering impactful results.
Whether you're seeking to inform, engage, or inspire, I can help you develop strategies that resonate, align with organizational goals, and make people feel seen, valued, and connected.
My broad background in communications, marketing, and coaching is foundational to creating meaningful outcomes. As a pragmatic idealist, I believe in possibility, driven by purpose and values, while grounded in practical solutions with real-world impact.
I honed my skills at ad agencies, PR firms, and through work with local government, non-profits, and corporations of all sizes.
No road map? No problem. As your thought partner, we'll create a path together to get you where you want to go.
