Laura Osteen
Co-Founder & Brain Trust

The name CO-Create reflects our fundamental belief that leadership itself emerges through collaboration—it's not something that happens in isolation but through our connections and shared experience. We partner with clients to bring fresh opportunities for exploration, growth, and action—think of them as laboratories for positive change. Together, we'll transform challenges into opportunities.
NOTE: You'll notice we use WE throughout—that's intentional. CO-Create was born from partnership, is sustained by a network of brilliant collaborators, and comes alive through our work together with clients. While I (Chris) am your primary point of contact, this work has always been, and will always be, about creating something greater than any one person.
Laura’s Core Values

Wisdom lives in unexpected places—in our stories, our struggles, and especially in our collective experiences. It's not just about gathering knowledge; it's about being curious enough to learn from every conversation and humble enough to be surprised. When we approach leadership with this mindset, we discover insights beyond any textbook.

Leadership without empathy fails at its core. Creating excellence requires us to bring our full humanity to this work— to build spaces where people feel truly heard and valued. It's about supporting each other through uncertainty, celebrating progress, and recognizing that care isn't just nice to have—it's essential for sustainable success. Think of it as professional care with purpose.

Somewhere along the way, we got the idea that serious work can’t be playful. We disagree! Play is how we experiment, iterate, and find creative solutions to tough challenges. It’s not about being silly (though costumes, parades, and beads can be quite fun!). It’s about bringing a spirit of curiosity and joy to our work. When we learn to play with challenges instead of fearing them, amazing things open up.
