Most leaders are trained to spot performance.

I study patterns that predict potential.

Your people don't need another MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER.

Because the real problem is isn't motivation.

No one shows up to work hoping to "give it their half." Driven people don't suddenly lose their hunger to achieve great things. But when AI disruption, rapid growth, hybrid work, collapsing trust, and the erosion of belonging arrive at once, they stall. First your best people leave, and everyone else who shows up leaves their best selves at home.

According to Gallup research, 23% of the workforce is disengaged right now. This is an $8.8 trillion dollar problem worldwide. And if one in four of your team is always disengaged, it's a problem for you, too.

I know why, because I'm the one your people called. For two decades as an executive recruiter, my job was to phone the most successful people on the planet and recruit them away. They had every marker of success — that's exactly why I was calling. But despite all this success, which is why I was calling them, they weren't very happy, so they all called me back.

Motivation isn't the answer. It's consonance.

Consonance (n): that feeling of alignment and flow, when everything you are matches everything you do.

Since selling my search firm in 2016, my research has revolved around four questions: why work stops feeling like it matters, why success breeds doubt, how leaders spot and stoke the potential others miss, and why even the most successful people leave. The pattern beneath all four is consistent: growth rarely stalls for lack of ambition; it stalls when we assume that everyone is inspired by the same version of success.

This assumption destroys our ability to drive individual growth, develop strong teams, and achieve extraordinary results. But there is a better way: a practical playbook with a shared language to lead in a world where the map keeps changing. Because when belonging, alignment, and purpose come back, people feel consonance, and high performance follows.

In short, I help leaders, teams,
and organizations like yours become

Limitless.

About Laura

Hey, I'm LGO. 

WSJ Bestselling Author, Serial Entrepreneur,
Researcher,
and Keynote Speaker

You may know me from Good Morning America, Access Hollywood, my talk that has 3M views on TED.com, or that time I ate an entire sheet cake live on Facebook.

In a career spanning 30 years, I've advised leaders from the corner office to the Oval Office. I've gone from contemplating my death to being one of less than a thousand women to run all six World Major Marathons, from dropping out of law school to helping create AmeriCorps as a White House, and revolutionized an entire industry as a first-time entrepreneur.

So, when I talk about the identity shift that individuals and teams need to make to chase and achieve audacious goals, I'm speaking from experience.
