From passionate expert to confident CEO
You have the passion, the expertise and the skill. I bring a proven system so nothing gets missed, and a therapist's ear so nothing important gets overlooked.
You're brilliant at what you do. The “business side” is another language.
I was there too. Mosaic exists for the entrepreneurs the standard playbook was never written for: WOMEN, MINORITY and LGBTQIA+ Founders, and anyone who has been handed advice that assumed a network, a cushion and a banker who already says yes.
You're a coach, consultant, therapist, health provider, marketer, creative, tradesperson. You're excellent at your craft. What you need is the strategy, the systems, and someone in your corner who will tell you the truth.
You're not failing. You're carrying it alone.
If you're nodding along, here's the good news: the thing draining you usually isn't the thing you think it is. I'm trained to hear what's underneath. An unclear value proposition. A misaligned brand. A pricing story you don't yet believe about yourself. Most of the time I can name it before you've finished describing the problem.
The other side of that list

The Mosaic Partnership
More than advice. We demystify the jargon and hand you the tools, the strategy and the steady support to build something that lasts.
Most consultants hand you a framework and ask you to fill in the blanks. Yours gets built around the specific, unrepeatable thing you bring to your clients.
Not a template you squeeze yourself into. I listen until I hear what actually makes you different, then we build the message around that. The result doesn't just sound like you. It sounds like the most confident version of you.
I spent years as a therapist before I was a CEO. Feeling heard isn't a promise here. It's a professional skill I've spent decades developing, and it's how the real block gets found.
Services, pricing and systems built so your passion actually pays you.
A simple, proven system
We believe in systems — and in making everything we do at least twice as easy.
Discovery
A free call to understand where you are, what's in the way, and what you actually want — then we diagnose the piece that's missing and name it plainly.
Planning
We design your roadmap and build it together — the plan, the numbers, the offers, the marketing and the dates that make it real.
Implementation
Open the doors, land the clients, put the systems to work — and adjust based on what the market tells you.
Sustaining
Follow-up, review rhythms and steady support so the growth holds after our work together ends.
Structure and instinct, in the same room
The Mosaic Method™ guarantees every critical pillar of your business gets examined. Laura's thirty years as a therapist, CEO and professor mean she'll go off-script the moment she hears something more important hiding underneath your answer.
Mosaic is led by founder Laura Wagenknecht — an award-winning business consultant, planner, strategist and certified executive coach with more than 30 years of professional leadership experience.
Rather than one-size-fits-all advice, Laura builds around the person behind the business, because a brand is only powerful when it reflects something true.
Her work is built on proven results and a genuine commitment to the entrepreneurs the system too often overlooks.
