Experience is absolutely required, as is a sincere desire to create positive change in the world.  Together, you and I will build a large business based around education, transformation, abundance, and joy.  Every day of our work together, we will be affecting hearts and minds across the globe, empowering thousands to step into their dream lives, and finally experience soul-shaking joy.  If this sounds like your dream publicist job, please keep reading.

This is a role where you will be given a great deal of responsibility, and accordingly, a great deal of trust and benefits.  In addition to great compensation with money, time off, and other benefits – you will also learn a tremendous amount about yourself, how to build your own pathway to your dream life, and receive direct 1:1 mentoring by me personally.  Your success will be my business, and my success will be your business.

When Laura first hired me, I learned rather quickly that she was an incredible business leader and powerhouse in our community. When I discovered that Laura was named one of Worcester’s 40 Under 40 at the age of 23, I was not surprised in the least. Having worked with Laura, I learned that she was not only passionate about helping her business and clients succeed, but that she also had a fantastic way of raising her employees up to their true potential- even when if they couldn’t see it themselves.

In the time that I have known Laura, I have found that above all else, she is a remarkably passionate individual. No matter what she decides to invest her time in, she does it with passion and a drive like nothing I have seen before. She cares deeply about all projects she decides to take on, and tackles every high and low with tenacity. I don’t know that I have once had a conversation with Laura during which she did not show me how wonderfully introspective she is. Whether we were discussing a recent meeting with a client, or the baby birds that found a home in her backyard, I have never doubted her supreme emotional intelligence and her ability to think deeply and critically about all situations she encounters. As you can imagine, this inevitably makes her a not only a strong business leader, but an equally strong communicator as well.

When she is not running a company, writing a book, or consulting future executives, I have come to know Laura as an artist, nature-enthusiast, and lover of life. I can only hope that you will have the opportunity to do the same.

Sincerely,

Emily D’Arcangelo
