A seasoned actor, singer, and dancer, Cable thrives in show business – an industry notorious for saying NO. And as a corporate team leader, she sees parallels every single day. Her message? No matter your industry, resilience isn’t just a choice; it’s the single most important factor to your success. With humor and heart, Laura inspires individuals to stop bracing for rejection, resisting change, and deferring to gatekeepers – and instead harness resilience with purpose, power, and pride.
