I’m Laura Re Turner, a coach who helps leaders and teams develop the mindset, behaviours, and skills to thrive through change.
As the Founder of Future Focus Coaching, I work with organisations to develop leaders and teams to be resilient, creative, and competitive in today’s increasingly complex business landscape. I support leaders at all levels of organisations through one-to-one coaching and believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to be heard and think for themselves. I embrace the messy nature of working with teams to improve collaboration and performance in complex, multi-stakeholder organisations. I’m recognised widely as a dynamic and engaging facilitator and trainer who puts people at ease and creates psychological safety through my interactions with groups. All of this is backed up by decades of industry experience.
From the coaching domain, I draw on a wide range of approaches including applied positive psychology, Gestalt, systemic team coaching, NLP, relational coaching, and Nancy Kline’s ‘Time to Think’.
My book Becoming Agile: Coaching Behavioural Change for Business Results was published by Open University Press in 2021. Becoming Agile brings together my work in both the professional coaching and Agile development domains, and I am invited regularly to speak at conferences and on podcasts on the confluence of the two professions.
Becoming Agile is available to buy now.
My coaching style
I have developed an advanced coaching approach that combines the traditional coaching domains of leadership, performance, effective teams, and systemic coaching, with deep knowledge and experience of Agile frameworks and techniques from Scrum, Kanban, Agile Project Management, Agile product development, Lean, DevOps, and Extreme Programming. I am equally comfortable working with executives as working with delivery-focused Agile leaders and teams. My coaching presence conveys a deep sense of being all of these things, while forging strong connections with my coachees at any point in their development.

Professional experience
My continuing professional development takes in the latest thinking in leadership, effective teams, systemic coaching, product innovation, and business agility. I believe all of these domains are important to be effective in my coaching practice. For recent coaching and consulting work, see my LinkedIn profile.
I work with top-tier agencies as an associate and am proud to be a CPrime agile coach, a MindGym Performa leadership coach, a Torch leadership coach, and an associate trainer and facilitator for Learning Solutions Matter.
Get to know me
I love getting outdoors for hillwalking, kayaking, skiing, and running! Fine art and photography are two life-long loves and I sometimes participate in group shows of my work. You can see more of my work on Adobe Behance and Instagram.
