Mosaic Business Consulting — Business Planning & Coaching for Women, Minority and LGBTQIA+ Entrepreneurs
Laura Wagenknecht in conversation with a client at Mosaic Business Consulting
For women, minority and LGBTQIA+ entrepreneurs

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 in the right place

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.

Does this sound familiar?

You're not failing. You're carrying it alone.

A business owner on the phone, looking overwhelmed
Battling the inner critic that says you're not ready.
Drowning in a sea of “business stuff”.
Building a business that's consuming your life.
Expert at your craft, still struggling to find clients.
Making every big decision alone, wishing for a guide.
Fighting for funding you know you deserve.

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.

And here's what you're ready for

The other side of that list

Shift your frame: from an overwhelmed desk to a calm, open garden
A business that serves your life instead of eating it.
A system that brings your dream clients to you.
A clear, actionable plan in place of the overwhelm.
Your expertise owned with unshakeable confidence.
An expert partner in your corner.
More clients, and more income.

What you get

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.

✓
A roadmap built from scratch

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.

✓
A brand that sounds like you

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.

✓
Someone who hears what you didn't say

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.

✓
Sustainable, profitable growth

Services, pricing and systems built so your passion actually pays you.

How it works

A simple, proven system

We believe in systems — and in making everything we do at least twice as easy.

1

Discovery

TAP TO SEE MORE

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.

2

Planning

TAP TO SEE MORE

We design your roadmap and build it together — the plan, the numbers, the offers, the marketing and the dates that make it real.

3

Implementation

TAP TO SEE MORE

Open the doors, land the clients, put the systems to work — and adjust based on what the market tells you.

4

Sustaining

TAP TO SEE MORE

Follow-up, review rhythms and steady support so the growth holds after our work together ends.

Laura Wagenknecht, founder of Mosaic Business Consulting
Why Laura and Mosaic

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.

In their words

What it's like to work with Laura

“Laura is a gifted listener. It's more than her empathy and ability to focus on someone else; she is uniquely able to distill what she has heard into valuable, credible insight. She has the smarts, drive, education and experience foundation essential when communicating with executives. I find myself often thinking about her words, remembering them and acting upon them. I recommend Laura highly as an executive and career coach.”

Paul Royce, MBA
Leadership Coach, TEDx Speaker Coach, Founder of PGA Consulting

“Laura is a wonderful ‘right hand gal’ when it comes to all things business. She has a wealth of knowledge in a multitude of areas and her passion for helping others succeed, especially women, cannot go unnoticed. She genuinely cares about you and the success of your business and her goal and focus is for you to thrive. Definitely thankful to have her in my corner!”
