The World Looks a Little Different

The world, and each of our individual worlds, have gone through a huge transformation in the last few years. We've gone from big expectations and lots of hope about what 2020 would be, through some really challenging situations that no one could have predicted, and we're still working to discover what life looks like in 2023. Many of us have experienced loss and struggle that we haven't experienced before, and some really hard truths have been revealed. Sometimes transformation and change takes years to progress, while other times, like the last few years, it sweeps through like a fast, violent summer storm.

I'm not perfect, I don't have all the answers, I'm not psychic so I can't predict the future, but I do know that when all of us come together, we'll be able to heal all that happened this past year and make our lives, families and businesses stronger, happier, more fulfilled and more successful going forward. I'm committed to working with with you to navigate through the problems and issues, come up with solutions and plan for a more sustainable future.

We're All Connected

You've probably heard about the theory that you're only 6 introductions, 6 connections, 6 people, away from anyone else, anywhere on the planet. Whether you believe that or not, the average person on Facebook has 338 friends. The advances in technology available to us in 2023 give us the tools to make better connections and better engage those connections, and with every technological advance we're given more people to connect with and ways to connect.

We've got personal connections, professional connections and social connections. We connect in person, on the phone, and through the internet. We connect for brief encounters and long term relationships. We laugh, play, share, and cry with our connections. We learn from our connections and sometimes hurt because of them. Sometimes our connections last, sometimes they're fragile and other times they end quickly. We connect because of our dreams, passions, experiences, failures, mistakes, wants and needs.

It's easy to get more connections, just send a message or make a comment on your favorite social network and you're connected with someone new. With just few clicks you can connect with a new babysitter. With just a few pushes of the remote you can buy a movie for movie night happening in a few minutes. With a few dollars you can be connected with hundreds or thousands of new potential customers. With a short video you're able to share your message and mission with anyone, anywhere.

But it's not enough to just be connected, not doing anything with a connection would be like getting married just so that you've got a piece of paper that says you married someone. Or buying books just so you can make a library room in your house. Or learning Korean and French just to say you know a couple languages even though you're hoping to move to Mexico. Yes, you're connected, but for what purpose?

Hi, I'm Laura Dickey. I'm glad you're here! It's my passion to help you connect in the ways that matter most to you, whether they're personal or professional, whether you're looking to strengthen a connection, start a new connection, rebuild a connection, or even end a connection so you can start a new, better one.

I like details, questions, organization and curiosity, but I also know that sometimes simple and short is best and the right choice for the situation.

I've worked with thousands of individuals, couples, families, businesses and churches over the last 10 years. I'm a dog lover, daughter, sister, book lover, significant other, college graduate, writer, thinker, organizer, person of faith and creative enthusiast.

My official title? Growth Coach and Connection Consultant.

More About Me

It's a New Day

Life is short. Each day we hear about someone dying in the news either from a terminal illness or tragic murder. Each day the hours seem to move faster. When you stop after what feels like seconds, it turns out to have been days and everything has changed around you. Why waste the limited time you've got on creating or keeping connections that don't matter, won't matter or hurt you? Why not build connections that could change the world, whether the whole world or just your part of the world?

Working on your connections could mean a life you enjoy living, a happier relationship with your partner, a home you feel excited to return to each day, a business you love running, customers you are happy to support (and who buy from you), a job that fulfills you, your church supports regular attendees and fulfills The Great Commission, and/or you make a difference in the world, just to name a few.

As an individual I can help you organize your life, connect with yourself, refresh your focus, discover and live your purpose, create more victories, and/or work on your relationships.
As a family and/or significant other I can help you get organized, rework or rebuild your relationship, play more and enjoy family life and/or your relationship.
As a leader I can help you start the business you've been dreaming of, or help you and your existing business connect, engage and convert your customers and employees.
As a church I can help you connect with and grow in your community in ways that don't sacrifice your message or mission.

Whether you're interested in just working on one thing or many, together we'll uncover clues and make a plan to overcome the challenges, become more productive, prepare for the future, uncover and strengthen connections, and make victories in your life, family, relationship, church and/or business. With building blocks of core values, simple rules and consistency you'll get the clarity, tools and strategy you've been seeking and need to create, grow or maximize your connections.
