That's me, Laurie Macrae, a lover of life, home and a multitude of eclectic careers. I did my Life Coach training and am certified through Coach Training Alliance. 
And as I work towards my highest potential in my professional practice, I am a member of the International Coaches Federation and am also on the way to fulfilling requirements for additional credentialing. I am owner and primary of PositiveFocusSkills, LLC. and although I work with a broad range of clients, my areas of passion & expertise include:
• Coaching Professionals with Diverse interests
• Coaching through pregnancy and birth for couples
• Relationship coaching
• Political Coaching
• Redesigning Divorce

I am a disciple of inner & personal growth and passionate about assisting others in choosing fulfillment in their lives. Whether it be professional, personal or play, assisting people to recognize their highest principles and potentials is my forte. Life primarily boils down to relationships. With others or self, in career or at home, locally or globally; creating and pursuing engaging and meaningful relationships seems to be the foundation which colors and infuses all we are and do in life.

I have been an entrepreneur for many years, and bring to coaching a myriad of life experiences, many of which are steeped in human relations. As a 13 year seasoned business owner, employer and an elected state official, my optimism in human potential and my intrinsic belief in the universe guide me in all my pursuits. Passions I have many! Yet, coaching allows me to share passion with any and all that desire their highest potential and are willing to Go for it!

In addition to my life experiences I have some personal qualities and strengths that I believe have been integral in my work with many types of people:
• Curiosity
• Spiritual center
• A gift for listening
• Gratitude
• Compassion
• An ability to minister “space” for people
• A sense of groundedness
• Intuition
• Diversity of careers and interests
• and, a bit of wit thrown in!


"The art of helping people propel themselves forward by identifying their strengths and using them to reach their deepest and highest potential."

Coaching is a respectful relationship, designed to help You achieve results and sustain life-changing behavior in professional and personal realms.

Coaching is a gift that you give yourself to define and achieve personal and professional goals which in turn, benefits all you share your life with. The process is challenging yet comfortable and will keep you focused. 

Coaching is not Therapy. Simply put, coaching is about the present and moving forward into the future. Generally, therapy is about addressing and healing the past. In Coaching, the past may be looked at, yet only in context of changing a current behavior and to be used as a springboard to propel you forward.


1. A Coach asks the really tough questions that no one else will. I'm trained to ask the right questions at the right time. These questions are not haphazard; they are intended for you to learn more about yourself, and provide clarity about your next step forward.

2. I'm not in your loop. The only agenda I have for your life is the one you choose. I can ask the difficult questions, as I don't fear losing our relationship. Actually, I will risk the relationship to ask empowering questions.
