Episode summary:
Laura shares her story which includes a wide range of career and personal transitions. As her graduation from college neared what seemed like a perfect degree, Philosophy, she realized probably wasn’t the best choice to provide for herself and future family. After some deliberation of what she liked about Philosophy, the Socratic method, critical thinking led her to choose Law.

After Law School she practiced law in the Washington DC area.  There she met her future husband who was a US Diplomat.  After their marriage they left the country for his first post, Tunis, Tunisia. Future moves would take them to seven more countries through the Middle East and Asia.  She now resides in Tokyo, Japan.

Through these various moves to many countries with different languages and cultures Laura leveraged her law background to provide basic legal services to expatriates and others. She also provided help for those seeking employment and career advise. This led her into the coaching field and speaking opportunities.  Her TEDx Hanoi talk ( see link below ) caught my eye while researching influencers that provide career advice and motivation.  I was so pleased that she agreed to be my guest on Titans of Transition!
