edit data

Laura J Thorne is an artist, author, designer, entrepreneur, photographer, programmer, environmental scientist, and by Myer's Brigg's standards, an Architect. She loves to take big ideas and turn them into books, articles, maps, photographs, designs, programs, training, courses, and presentations.

In her early years, Laura wrote poems, practical guide books, and even a screenplay. In college, she focused on photography and design, and in her first career job around the same time, she was introduced to programming, database management, and managerial leadership. That job brought her to Ireland for her first of 20 plus countries visited, where she lived for a year. Upon returning to the US she enrolled in an undergrad program for Biology at th Laura J Thorne is an artist, author, designer, entrepreneur, photographer, programmer, environmental scientist, and by Myer's Brigg's standards, an Architect.

In her early years, Laura wrote poems, practical guide books, and even a screenplay. In college, she focused on photography and design, and in her first career job around the same time, she was introduced to programming, database management, and managerial leadership. That job brought her to Ireland for her first of 20 plus countries visited, where she lived for a year. Upon returning to the US she enrolled in an undergrad program for Biology at the University of South Florida.

Fast forward ten years, she had started a successful GIS intern program, was a local seagrass expert, a grants manager, and a business excellence examiner. In 2015 her inner Wildebeest awakened, and she took a leap and left an arguably successful career to start three businesses, Laura Thorne Consulting, The Environmental Career Coach, and Laura Thorne Photography (AKA @absolute.reVolution.gallery on Instagram).

Her passion project at this time is a framework and philosophy she designed for business performance improvement and leadership development called, The Role Model Way™. She believes that businesses that choose to do the right thing regardless of regulations and despite consumer ignorance are the key to a bright future for humanity.

The myriad of different education, life, and business experiences combined with her take-leaps, no-fear, left-brain-right-brain-balance personality enable Laura to break down complex strategic and systems thinking for those who struggle to turn their visions into reality.

Lastly, here is some bonus info for those of you who've read this far: Laura has zero patience for making toast, is forever leaving the burners on in the kitchen, can't figure out right and left, is independent to a fault (just ask all her ex's), and you will never find her on a boat without shoes on. ...more
