Ep. 22: Relational Business w/ Laura E. Knights, LCSW

Welcome to Purpose Potential™ Podcast where we discuss the realities of walking out your God-given purpose. Growing up, I never imagined that I'd be where I am today. The best path for me turned out to be what God wanted for me (a.k.a. purpose). Through this podcast, I'll be sharing more about my personal journey with navigating purpose as well as introducing you to successful guests that are purpose-driven trailblazers in their own right. My goal is to inspire you to stay the course along your personal purpose journey and live life in authenticity and alignment.

Joining me for Ep. 22 is my friend, colleague, and former business coach, Laura E. Knights, LCSW. She is an author, speaker, coach and facilitator with 16+ years of experience creating professional and personal development programs. Her expertise and background in business, organizational development, adult learning, and as a licensed clinical social worker has uniquely equipped her to teach others how to deal with both the "head work" and "heart work" required to succeed at work and in life.  

Over the years, Laura's multi-passionate adventures have taken her in many directions as a serial entrepreneur. Laura has worked as a wedding planner, life coach, social worker and family therapist, non-profit program developer and administrator, and small business advisor, just to name a few. Today, she spends her time providing leadership development consulting to organizations as the founder of Knights Consulting, LLC, a consultancy that helps organizations cultivate more confident, conscious leaders and high performing teams. Through this work, Laura has had the honor to develop and facilitate programs that have touched leaders all over the world.
