Laura Wagenknecht, MSW, CEC

Laura Wagenknecht is the bridge between “having a dream” and building a funded, scalable empire. As a therapist turned CEO and Assistant Professor, she possesses a rare ability to dismantle the mental blocks of Imposter Syndrome while simultaneously constructing the hardline financial infrastructure needed for massive growth.

As the founder of Mosaic Business Consulting, Laura is a champion for women and BIPOC entrepreneurs, having helped her clients secure $3.5+ million in funding. She specializes in moving visionary leaders from “reactive chaos” to “operational calm,” teaching that you cannot scale a business on a foundation of guesswork.

Laura’s presentations are renowned for blending warmth, authentic storytelling, and humor with hard-hitting, actionable strategy. She transforms terrifying topics—like capital acquisition and financial forecasting—into accessible, “no-math” roadmaps. Audiences leave her sessions not just inspired, but equipped with a tangible plan to stop piecing it together and start building their legacy.

Yes, the name’s a humdinger, but so are her workshops and speeches!
