Laura Shackelford

I am an experienced Career Coach with over a decade of experience helping people level up in their career paths. I have a background in Human Resources and Higher Education leadership, where I have assisted thousands of students and alumni in exploring careers, navigating the job market, and achieving their career goals. Today, I support cohorts of returners as they navigate back to the full-time workforce after an extended career break. I love coaching, empowering, and building a positive and productive experience for returners in their individual career journeys.

I am a Certified Professional Coach with over a decade of experience in Human Resources and I have a passion for helping people live a life driven by purpose and passion, both at work and at home. I took a career break when my kids were young, so I know first hand what it is like to return to the workforce.
