Laura has been invited for interviews on a number of podcasts including Simply Focus and Living Fearlessly with Lisa McDonald.

She has also been interviewed for publications like Canadian Centre for Brief Coaching and the Thrive Global Network.

Leadership, Conflict and Compassion with Laura Cole

The Compassion Mindset podcast

On Compassion with Dr. Nate

Dr. Nathan Regier welcomes Laura Cole to this episode. She is the founder of Your Latitude, a Canadian Solution-Focused coaching and mediation practice, specializing in organizational culture development and change management.

Laura’s wisdom and perspective is very practical (even a little bit radical), and during this episode she will reveal some of her secret weapons.

Simply Focus Interview

Simply Focus is a weekly podcast that shares insightful ways to bring solution-focused dialogue to your everyday life. In this episode Laura talks about:

  • the differences Solution Focus has made for her, her clients, her friends and family
  • and how she applied Solution Focus in a meeting with 35 people

“The subject of the day was actually not the meeting, it was their preferred future and the meeting was just a vehicle to support that. And that completely changed the environment, the dialogue, the conversations.”

Living Fearlessly with Lisa McDonald

Living Fearlessly

Living Fearlessly with Lisa McDonald explores the obstacles and challenges that hold people back from leading happy, successful, and abundant lives.

Each week, Lisa interviews newsmakers, entrepreneurs, motivational coaches, entertainers, athletes, philanthropists, activists and authors who embody what it is to “live fearlessly” and thrive. Guests and host share personal experiences and tips in frank, open discussion.

“I don’t believe people necessarily want to talk about the problem first, I think many people believe that is the only way to do it.”

Thrive Global Network: Intentional Human Speaking

Laura was featured in the Intentional Human Speaking article published on the Thrive Global Network

“Laura’s infectious energy, and genuinely lit-up personality, reverberated throughout the sizable room we were all congregated in. Everyone appeared to know her, and if they didn’t, they certainly made a concerted effort to seek her out so as to establish contact and  introduce themselves.”

Canadian Centre for Brief Coaching Interview

A fun interview with Canadian Centre for Brief Coaching about using solution-focused dialogue to increase capacity in herself and her clients.

“…at this moment in time I know what I know. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t more to learn. And that mindset I like to share with my clients.”

#BEYOUROWN meets Laura Cole

Be Your Own publishes daily interviews with worldwide leading ladies who tell their stories, offer advice and share their knowledge.

“Something that I say to my clients all the time is this: “If it’s always everyone else’s fault – your coworkers, office politics, a bad boss – then too many people are in control of your future. You actually want this to be about you so you have some control over the outcome!” I encourage them to write themselves back into the story, not for blame, but for hope. If they are authors of the story then they can rewrite the ending.”

  • I hired Laura as my business and public speaking coach to help me with a project I was working on. I always had a fear of public speaking and Laura was fantastic in helping me build my confidence while also helping me create a powerful and impactful presentation. I will definitely be working with Laura again on future projects.

  • I would like to thank Laura Cole for being an excellent executive coach and leadership mentor.  Over the past four years she has helped me meet my goals of becoming an authentic public speaker.  She has accomplished this with infused skill and ability, fused with purpose and passion

  • In two short hours, she had the room abuzz, and we came away with the framework for a charter document that would connect us across our six hospital sites.  In leading this work, Laura was encouraging, engaging, challenging and collaborative.

  • At the Office of Alumni Advancement we are continuously seeking new ways to engage, inspire and connect with our alumni and community.   Each spring I organize an annual Professional Development Series and while in the very preliminary stages of organizing the series Laura Cole of Latitude Business Group was recommended as a speaker...

  • I started consulting with Laura 2 years ago for my company and decided to hire her as a personal coach. Hiring her is without a doubt the best decision. Laura has made a substantial and positive difference in my professional and personal life...

    Fred Rainville Business Leader
  • Going through the process of hiring and training new employees because you are growing and require more staff is one thing – but the cost of interviewing, hiring and training new employees to replace someone because of turnover – now that’s a whole different story. If you can avoid the cost of turnover by hiring a mediator to support your staff in working through conflict or improving relationships, that’s money well spent.

    Rob Macaulay Urban Machinery, V.P. of Operations
  • Laura, you have helped me completely shift how I function in the workplace. And while much credit goes to the strategies you use, as much or more goes to your style and approach. Your ability to connect, meet me where I was at, help me feel just fine as myself, and develop clarity around who I want to be and where I want to go, your ability to recognize openings and nudge me along—those are the skills that can’t be taught. Thanks for being so great.
