She delivers strategic thinking, well-honed wisdom, and catalytic perspective informed by decades of navigating change across the start-up, nonprofit, political, and philanthropic landscapes.<br> <br> <br> <br> Laura’s 25-year resume is defined by her entrepreneurial edge. She served as a Presidential Appointee in Bill Clinton’s White House, helping shape AmeriCorps; left a leadership role at respected nonprofit search firm, Isaacson, Miller, to expand the startup ExecSearches.com; and founded and ran the Nonprofit Professionals Advisory Group, which partnered with the full gamut of mission driven nonprofit executives, from start-up dreamers to scaling social entrepreneurs to global philanthropists. She is the author of Mission-Driven, a book for those moving from profit to purpose, and most recently the author Limitless: How to Ignore Everybody, Carve Your Own Path, and Live Your Best Life, which debuted at #2 on the Washington Post bestseller list, right behind Michelle Obama, and which Good Morning America’s Robin Roberts chose as one of her Favorite Books of 2019.<br> <br> <br> <br> Through her own commitment to give back, Laura has helped build a local Montessori school, co-founded a women’s philanthropic initiative, advised a start-up national women’s PAC, grew a citizen-leadership development program, and completed three charity-inspired marathons—projects emblematic of her passions and values. She’s turned on by the audacity of The Big Idea and that larger-than-life goal you just can’t seem to shake. She’s an instigator, a motivator, and a provocateur, and she’s never met a revolution she didn’t like.<br> <br> <br> <br> Connect with Laura Online:<br> <br> <br> <br> Website: <a href="http://lauragassnerotting.com/">http://lauragassnerotting.com/</a>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/heylgo">https://twitter.com/heylgo</a>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/heylgo">https://www.facebook.com/heylgo</a>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/heylgo">https://www.linkedin.com/in/heylgo</a>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/heylgo">https://www.instagram.com/heylgo</a><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Listen now:<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br>
