I’m Laura Burke, and I empower people and organizations to grow, lead, and create impact using the 7 entrepreneurial skills of life. Because skills like risk-taking, recognizing opportunity, and staying curious aren’t just for business—they’re for everyone.

With over 25 years in education, leadership, and strategic development, I’ve built programs, schools, and initiatives that challenge the status quo and create new pathways for growth. I founded and led Colorado’s first K-8 entrepreneurial magnet school, proving that when people develop these skills, they build confidence, resilience, and the ability to shape their own future.

Now, I’m looking for my next full-time leadership role where I can bring my expertise in learning & development, leadership strategy, and organizational growth to a mission-driven organization that’s ready to make an impact.

✔ Committed to Driving Lasting Impact in a Full-Time Role – My priority is securing a leadership position where I can apply my experience to build strong teams, develop strategic initiatives, and create meaningful change. I bring a track record of leading large-scale initiatives, mentoring leaders, and designing transformational learning experiences.

✔ Entrepreneurial Mindset & Leadership Innovation – My experience as a founder, principal, and consultant has strengthened my ability to navigate change, think strategically, and lead with confidence. These aren’t side projects—they’re proof of my ability to drive success, build high-performing teams, and foster a culture of innovation.

✔ Personal & Professional Growth Through Speaking & Thought Leadership – I believe that strong leaders never stop learning. My public speaking, workshops, and consulting work allow me to stay at the forefront of leadership development and organizational growth—which means I bring fresh insights, a strong network, and real-world expertise to every role I take on.

✔ Breaking Barriers & Advocating for Representation – As a signed model with Wilhelmina Denver, I’ve embraced opportunities that push boundaries and promote confidence, representation, and breaking barriers in media. This work reinforces my belief in challenging norms, embracing risk, and creating new opportunities—values I bring into every leadership role.

I’m seeking a full-time opportunity where I can use these skills to strengthen leadership, transform learning, and make a lasting impact. If you’re looking for an experienced leader who knows how to inspire action, develop people, and drive meaningful change, let’s connect!

I genuinely believe that everything is figure-out-able, and my motto is that if something is both exciting and terrifying, then that's how you know it's worth doing!
