At Corinthian, our greatest satisfaction comes from our happy clients. Below are selected client testimonials about our recent work and speaking engagements.
our work
“We needed someone to coach our branch managers through the process of developing retail-oriented marketing and operating plans. In the process, we also wanted to coach these managers into a new way of looking at their role, at marketing, and at leadership. Corinthian Consulting worked directly with our branch managers and with our senior leadership to develop retail plans, to fit these plans into our credit union's larger strategic goals, and to build collaboration and teamwork among our management team. Corinthian's work was instrumental in moving our credit union towards becoming a more retail-focused, member-centered organization.”
- Mandy Jones, CEO, Oregon Community Credit Union

- Mark Herbert, Principal, New Paradigms LLC
“Laura is a strategic thinker and an invaluable guide. Laura helped my company to conceptualize our future growth and develop a plan for how to get there. She then partnered with us to implement these tactics in effective and creative ways. As a CEO, I turned to Laura repeatedly as my marketing and strategic consigliere. She has great judgment, sees the big picture, and acts in the best interest of the client. I trust her, both personally and for my business.”

“We engaged Corinthian Consulting to help us better understand the needs of our largest corporate donors.

In addition to providing great research, Corinthian analyzed the findings into actionable recommendations, and then collaborated with us to develop specific strategies for implementation.”

Her session on 'Cultrual Intellenge' demonstrated a geat deal of wisdom and sensitivity.

“Laura, when you speak I always think “wow!” Today was no exception. Your presentation on Building Authentic Leaders; Building Authentic Companies was exactly what we needed to hear. Thank you for your courage in presenting it and the openness and sincerity with which it was delivered.”
“When Laura did our “ask” event today for Committed Partners for Youth, she needed to touch the audience members’ hearts and at the same time show them what their money can do for our organization. She certainly delivered. It was our most successful fundraising breakfast ever!”
