"I came to Laura Davis with a passionate desire to write a book on women and marketing.
With generosity and care, she took the time to read several of the chapters I'd labored over--a big stack of disorganized, lackluster material.
When she was done, Laura gave me an honest critique of my work and laid out for me what I'd have to do to create the book I wanted.
What could have been devastating for a new, aspiring writer left me feeling inspired to begin.
And that's because Laura knows how to show up with both truth and kindness.
