Who we are.
How we lead.
How meaning is built.

Leadership, identity, and brand for people who never fit the mold.

Leadership without masks.

Built on who we are.

I’ve spent 15 years climbing the ladder in a male-dominated industry. Along the way, I discovered I’m neurodivergent, and it changed how I lead, parent, and show up.

Now, through laurencepaquette.com, I use my voice to push for workplaces where everyone can be their whole self. Inclusion isn’t optional, and neurodivergent professionals belong in leadership too.

Here, I share my journey as a queer mom and executive, along with insights and tools for anyone navigating business from the margins.

Lead Anyway:

10 Rules for Leading When You Break the Mold

I am currently writing Lead Anyway: 10 Rules for Leading When You Break the Mold, a leadership book for people who do not fit the traditional prototype. It is for those who lead quietly, think differently, feel deeply, or have learned to navigate work from the margins.

The book explores identity, neurodivergence, burnout, grief, self trust, and what it means to lead without performing, shrinking, or pretending to be someone you are not. It draws on my experience in global leadership roles, alongside years of writing, speaking, and conversations with leaders navigating similar tensions.

Publication planned for fall 2026.
