Hello
My name is Laura Keeley
I am a CIMA Qualified Accountant and Business Coach who helps Businesses reach their goals. I work as a Fractional Finance Consultant for Business Owners, looking at the strategic growth forecast, sales pipeline and management accounts. I educate Managers about the importance of Emotional Intelligence, culture and communication and provide drop-in-centres for employees to help with work and personal challenges.
THE STORY OF LIGHTNING COACHING
The Fractional Finance Consultant and Coaching Business
I started Lightning because I love working with small to medium sized businesses who want help understanding their finances, prioritising their strategic objectives and have managers that could use some help communicating.
I am a qualified accountant and worked many years as a Finance Director, Manager and Head of. During my career I have worked for small SME's all the way through to Multi Billion Pound Companies. I have presented to many boards and lead a number of teams. My key skill is communication, I love going into a business, looking at the finances and working with operations and sales to create the story board.
THE STORY BOARD is understanding this key formula: Sales + Operations = Finance
I loved managing my teams and helping them develop through mentoring and coaching. I also helped the wider team build confidence in presenting and helping with self-doubt.
I have trained as an NLP Master Practitioner, Hypnotherapist and Power Coach so I can help teams, Leaders and Managers, gain confidence and eliminate anxiety. I educate the power of communication, Emotional Intelligence and the true form of working as a team.
I am here to support and guide Business Owners and their team through your growth plan. I understand the pressures we put on ourselves and the pressures others put on us. I can help you plan with clarity, build an achievable strategy and ensure you have accurate financials.
Lightning Coaching is honoured to help countless clients reach sustainable positive change.
