Laurie Sheppard, a Life Coach and Career Strategist for Women 

Laurie Sheppard is a

Certified Life Coach and Career Strategist who has been a professional coach since 1994. Since that time she has helped thousands of clients with life planning, career development, and making transitions.

Though she continues to assist male clients, her clients are more often women entrepreneursmanagers, and career changers who are women re-careering after being out of the workforce.

Laurie’s coaching philosophy is to help her clients first understand where they currently are and then build a bridge to move forward to where they want to be. One of Laurie’s primary specialties as a coach is assisting her clients sustain their personal renewal by effectively integrating their personal and career goals.

Creating At Will® was founded by Laurie in 1994. Prior to starting her own company, Laurie spent over a decade in both management and administrative positions for major corporations and legal firms. During this period she also worked as a project manager with the Los Angeles Youth At Risk Foundation where she implemented programs to help at-risk youth.

The mission of Creating At Will is to assist women to achieve their desired results and maximize their potential while living balanced lives. To achieve this mission she offers programs that create “well-rounded” solutions for addressing new challenges and changes. They range from one-on-one coaching for individuals and groups to workshops and professional presentations to business groups.  Laurie is an independent training consultant for the innovative, creative problem-solving workshops founded by the thinkx corporation.  A frequent speaker for professional women’s groups, she also continues to author numerous articles online.  She writes a weekly blog and a bi-monthly Women’s Entrepreneur Newsletter and is a two-time author of books on change (creativity and communication) and self-esteem.

She was awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in Administrative Business and Psychology.

To balance her professional life, Laurie enjoys reading, exercising at the gym, long walks and movies with her husband, and spending time with her family and friends. Laurie lives in West Los Angeles.
