What would you do with an hour to focus?

When creating my new website, I added an 80 minute Business Strategy Session that you can book anytime you need it.

I’m hearing from more leaders and business owners that they just need to think and talk something through.

They need the SPACE to make a decision and create a plan.

It’s hard to carve out that kind of time on their own, but it feels easier when they book on my calendar.

When they commit to someone else to show up and really figure it out.

The luxury of an hour or more, can you imagine??

The relief of having taken it. Of knowing instead of wondering.

If you feel like that’s what you need, book it at the link in my bio.

Or, if you want to see if this is the right fit, we can do a free consultation first. Schedule that in my bio too!

New website! Take a look!

I help clients put themselves out there more clearly and confidently so this is me walking the walk.

As part of my 20th year as a marketing and business strategist and coach, I’m celebrating with new headshots, branding and a new streamlined, up-leveled site.

Using my name! LaureeOstrofsky.com

Simply Leap is phasing out, though leaping is still very much what we do together. Take bold action. Be scared and do it anyway.

You never ever have to do it alone.

Neither did I.

Tremendous thanks to .beaudin for website development and business coaching. She’s been the wind beneath my wings for a while.

Thanks also to my careful editors, especially , and .katy and .adhd Your insights and wordsmithing were invaluable.

was the mastermind behind two photo shoots and my willing and kind friends laughed with me through the second: (your space is gorgeous!), and

Thanks finally to shoot hosts and bakery.

We are the sum of the support we gather around us, and these names are just a few who I lean on.

Make sure you’re leaning on others in the midst of your new iterations.

I hope I’m one of them.

Expanding the scale of your work directly relates to the space you allow yourself to take up.

Let that sink in.

Because if you try to build bigger at work but stay small in relationships and family, it’s a jarring disconnect.

You’ll feel constricted and your work can suffer too.

You’re being inauthentic in at least one of those environments.

So when I witnessed the massive pieces by artist at Friday’s at I had to ask her:

How does working in bigger scales and taking up more physical gallery space affect how you take up space personally?

She shared how she’s needed to become more comfortable with it overtime.

From how she carried herself in front of the gathered audience, the larger scale is more authentic than ever for her.

Something for the rest of us to aim for as well.

Notice the space you’re comfortable taking up, even in conversations, and what’s possible in your work if you expand your personal space. And the reverse.

Great to see you and to meet you

Looking forward to the next.

The introvert was networking! And she remembered to take photos!

Meeting business owner-friends made it easier. We jumped right into conversation and introducing new people.

Lifting each other up.

Loved seeing you with Kate Waage

Big thanks to for hosting and sponsoring.

It could not have been a prettier night to gather.

If you’re thinking about diversifying your income, taking on a side gig, exploring what would keep you more financially stable in this unstable economy, I have some thoughts!

Take a spin through these slides and let me know what you think.

The main point: be strategic and creative in a way that keeps you open.

I’m here to commiserate, brainstorm and more.

Stop into my next virtual group Strategy Session on Friday June 5 or schedule a free session on my calendar. Links to both in my bio.

June spa retreat with me? Let’s make it happen!

The brand new is able to host eight of us for a weekday retreat for women in business.

Need a reset?

Message me and let’s choose the best date together!

What helps you get a fresh perspective?

Lately I find myself asking clients and friends if the exact opposite (of whatever they say) can be true.

Is it possible that we don’t have to make money in the strict ways we’re told we need to, or that relationships can look and feel differently?

That whatever we think we have to do a certain way can work better for us instead.

I returned to this photo I took at the fun because it feels that way.

That we shouldn’t always believe our eyes.

Things can be different and we need instead to open our minds to other possibilities.

Something to consider going into this weekend.

The best kind of business meeting: sweet treats in a light-filled space and easy, expansive conversation.

Enjoyed our time as always,

Your work empowering women investing and women owners of businesses in the $2-20M range is transformational.

Were your ears ringing, Jasmine Graham, Beth Bengtson and Laura Washington, Cristin McPeake?

We discussed investing locally to make a difference in our neighborhoods, and your organizations came up. | |

These espresso frappés were delicious. Thank you for bringing Italian delicacies to Kingston,

Apologies to all I speak with for the rest of the day as I am over caffeinated and enthusiastic. 🤩

The first step in being able to talk about money? Safety.

While not a financial expert, more of my conversations with business owners involve money because of the space we’ve created for honesty and openness.

Neither one of us need the answers in that conversation, as much as we need the willingness to say hard things.

Admit the challenge to stay afloat or to understand what it takes to succeed.

Once you can feel comfortable opening up, it feels more possible to do something about it.

Then you can build a budget or apply for a loan.

So if you’re having trouble even looking at your quickbooks, reading a P&L, or opening up your latest credit card statement, consider first finding someone you trust.

To sit with these things together.

To say hard or uncomfortable things.

And feel supported and heard.

No doubt you’ll be more able to take a step after that.

Joy post! Tell me your joys, personal and professional. We need the feed cleanse.

✨ I’ve had so many great meetings lately. Every one has given me a chance to live vicariously through other businesses. Grateful.

✨ My new website is nearly ready, just submitted final edits today!

✨ Heading back to DC tomorrow for a weekend celebrating with . I miss the place and the people so much.

✨ A couple celebrity sightings at this week, including and j9burrito who rocked. Someday maybe we can have hot dogs at together.

✨ We covered a lot during the strategy session with my Advisory Alliance members this week. Putting yourself out there. Handling tough feedback. Managing others. Can’t wait for the next one on May 1.

✨ Speaking of meetings, I reconnected with a teacher from my coaching certification 20 years ago. It’s our anniversary year! To be seen so fully again, so immediately, during our conversation is a gift.

✨ A stranger called out to me while sitting in the park, “I know dogs, and yours is adorable!” 🐾

I hope these are inspiring your own list of joys.

Please reply here, make your own list offline, or hold your hand to your heart and recite them.

Take in some good. Xoxo
