"I cannot recommend Lauree highly enough, she is a fantastic leader and knew how to drive the team to self organize but also when to step in and provide guidance when needed. Because of this, we had a very successful team and delivered successfully and on time routinely. ...she made the team feel valued and really took time and effort to make sure we were healthy and happy as people, not just good employees."

Hi! I'm Lauree Akhtar, Internal Community Coach
Who I Am
I'm Lauree. I'm a highly varied generalist, with a background in game development, political science, software program management, DEIB leadership, Agile coaching, and a Master's of Social Work (with the clinical therapy experience) to top it off.
My passion is to help people build lives worth living. My specialty is your workplace.
Workplace communities are special to me. The communities I've been a part of at work have not just become my dearest friends -- they've saved my life.
Building community among employees and colleagues is important. It generates an effective company. It helps people live better, happier lives.
It's powerful. Knowing that being able to connect a workplace together can be a pivotal part of your employee's lives. My deepest wish is to help you harness that power.
As a resident of Seattle, I acknowledge that we are on the traditional land of the first people of Seattle, the Duwamish People past and present and honor with gratitude the land itself and the Duwamish Tribe.
