Hello, I’m Laura
Hello, I’m Laura Mariani—bestselling author, transformation expert, and self-image alchemist. They say change is hard. I say it’s inevitable. The real question is: are you shaping it, or is it shaping you?
I believe transformation starts from within. We can all reinvent ourselves, experiment with new possibilities, and shape our future through mindset and action. I'm on that journey too, and I want to take you along with me. I'm here to experiment, learn, and grow with you—no preaching, no pressure, just a shared journey.
A Little About Me
I've spent years in the corporate world consulting and leading change & transformation projects, from HR director to business consultant. Across multiple sectors, in both the private and public sectors, I've witnessed how real, lasting change always comes down to one thing: people. That's what drives me; it always has.
I am a Change & Transformation Expert and a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Personnel & Development (FCIPD), Fellow of the Australian Human Resources Institute (FAHRI), Fellow of the Institute of Leadership & Management (FInstLM), Member of the Society of Human Resources Management (SHRM) and Member of the Change Institute (yes, I am blowing my trumpet here).
Change is my thing. People are my thing.
And what I know is this: change always starts from within an individual first. Who you believe you are changes everything. Whether you're reinventing your career, shifting your mindset, experimenting with new ways to unlock success, or changing a business, transformation starts from within.
A Little Bit More About Me
For years, I juggled consulting and project work with writing because, well, why settle for one thing when you can have both? It meant early mornings, late nights, and saying no to a lot of social plans. But having a creative outlet? Utterly worth it.
Now, writing is what I do. London is home. I’m obsessed with all the things that make life richer: good food, ballet, music, theatre, and art. I devour books like they’re going out of print and firmly believe coffee is a love language. I love watching tennis and rugby, and yes, I love fashion (obviously).
What I Do
I write. I experiment. I call out the self-imposed limits that hold us back. No fluff, no pretentious nonsense—just real change, one bold move at a time.
My Books: I write books that cut through the noise and get to the heart of what makes us tick. Stop It, It's All in Your Head was my first, and many more followed. These are tools for anyone looking to change their mindset, whether in their business or life.
Essays & Experiments: Over the years, I've documented a lot of experiments on how to shift mindset, break barriers, and change habits. And guess what? They're moving to Substack soon. If you want the inside scoop on what's working—and what's not—you'll need to subscribe.
Digital Products: Right now, you can get tools like workbooks, journals, and guides to help you get real results. They're all available on my website but will be moving to Etsy soon, so stay tuned.
Courses & Challenges (Coming Soon): I'm putting together some new ways for you to dive deeper into the process. Expect courses and challenges that will get you to take real action, not just read
