MY PERSONAL MISSION + VISION
Laura Rose…
“I design creative tools for leaders and organizations.”
Current Work
WORKPLATE
I am the co-founder of WorkPlate, a group to evolve and create for a better future. Digital Handshake grew out of this space.
DIGITAL HANDSHAKE
I am the co-founder of Digital Handshake, personal branding that summarizes you in 30 seconds. Our 3 step method develops a website leading with who you are, what you do and why. (You are reading mine.)
LUBY’S
I’ve partnered with Calvin Gin on the recent purchase of the iconic Texas brand, Luby’s. I’m focused on building partnerships, redefining the “marketing” function, authentic voice and community building. My goal is to re-build the most hospitable brand in Texan culture.
CHARMING STUDIOS
Charming Studios, is a creative agency I founded based in the Fulton Market District of Chicago. The media solutions we produce tell a story, but more importantly they invite the viewer to think for themselves.
CHARMING IN LOVE
I created Charming In Love for spirited couples hosting non-traditional weddings and elopements. My team takes care of all the details so you don't have to.
CHARMING CHILD
I created My Charming Child to capture the everyday charming moments in real time - your kids in their own element, being their crazy cool selves.
MY PROFESSIONAL BIO…
I’ve worked side by side with people, brands and organizations who want to unlock authenticity. I’ve struggled to do so for myself and understand the challenges first hand. I’ve worked with emerging leaders around the world who want to tap into their best. Together we unplug traditional “branding” methods. It requires risk and each path is unique.
“I believe in participating; personally, professionally and civically.”
How can we be more authentic to ourselves?
White Space : in progress…
I’ve learned to create white space in my daily life. A place to clear my mind, reflect, meditate, journal, read and dream. This practice has brought me peace. My personal journey has been to work through depression, anxiety, death, heartbreak, financial and professional failures, divorce, sexual assault and betrayal. The world is a broken place, but we can find our peace by creating space and our own practice to do so.
