Her presentation was incredibly impactful to women and allies alike. She not only gave an engaging and insightful presentation around finding your purpose, but she left everyone with actionable steps to find their own after the session concluded. Laura is professional and most importantly, is authentic and it shines in every way she communicates and holds herself. The world needs more of her light!”

“The environment that was created was a space of trust and opennessÂ
...Where we all immediately felt safe sharing our history in our careers and were able to give advice and guidance to one another without judgement and with pure good intentions. The hilarious, energetic and thought-provoking facilitator Laura Best and the gracious and thoughtful panel spoke from their personal experiences and gave so many nuggets of knowledge that I left the session feeling hopeful and ready to tackle making space for the quiet voices and lifting women up.

"What started as an idea of mine became an impactful event thanks to the guidance and professionalism of Passion Collective.
Laura understood and empathized with my drive to create space for community while tackling a heavy topic - the lack of women in leadership.
Thus, “Voices in Technology: Claiming Your Place at the Decision Table” was born. ”
— Sarah Hoops, Sales Leader, MentorMate
"I am so thankful that Auer Steel helped arrange this Women in HVAC session.
I got so much out of it and can’t wait to come again.
It helped me to realize how burned out I have become and that asking for help is not a weakness.
I would not have realized this so soon without this conversation.”
— Auer Steel client, event guest
