For Teams and Educators
I support both workplace teams and educational communities to make the most of how people work and learn together.
Whether you're teaching a class, leading a team, managing a school, or shaping a learning culture, my services are designed for you.
Why It Matters
Strong group dynamics don't just happen—they're built through intentional practices.
When people feel psychologically safe and experience a sense of belonging, they begin to thrive. Learning deepens, collaboration improves, and motivation grows. And results follow.
I'm here to help you build that kind of culture.
Testimonials
Laura is a positive, energetic, and inspiring facilitator. She listens actively, and creates space for meaningful conversations. In our case, where a new team joined an existing organization, her workshop format worked especially well to build connection and shared understanding.
Antti Kokko
Senior IT Manager
I participated in Laura's training, which was designed for principals. The training focused on team building and all the positive impacts it brings to classroom communities. Laura was inspiring, radiant, and effectively demonstrated, through clear and relatable examples, the incredible results that active team building can achieve in the school environment. I wholeheartedly recommend Laura's training.
Sini Koskinen
Head of School
Laura led powerful workshops for our team of teachers on leadership, communication, and values. She made everyone feel heard while keeping the sessions focused and purposeful. Her insights—especially on emotional dynamics at work—resonated deeply. The team's feedback was outstanding. I highly recommend her.
Lasse Luostarinmäki
Middle School Principal
We organized two online professional development programs for teachers in collaboration with Laura at the University of Lapland. Each included interactive workshops with practical tools for team building and promoting student well-being. Laura proved to be a highly skilled and knowledgeable facilitator. The feedback was excellent: 100% of participants felt the format supported active participation, and all would recommend Laura's workshops to others.

Kimmo Pekkanen
Teacher & Counselor
The team-building training was both enjoyable and rewarding, we really liked it! I've already used several of the activities with my new student groups, and they've been both fun and effective. These light, well-designed exercises help people get to know each other more quickly and truly form a team, just as intended.
