Laura Krauss

Sometimes, life has a funny way of redirecting your path, even after twenty-five years of crushing it in sales.

Those years building success across hospitality, pharmaceutical, medical publishing, and software sales weren't just about hitting quotas. For Laura Krauss, consistently performing at the top was preparation for something bigger: helping others navigate their own sales journeys through Ripple Effect Sales Advisory LLC. Now, she virtually coaches quota-carrying reps and first-time sales leaders, watching their confidence grow with every session.

But a shocking tech industry layoff taught her something else—we need each other. That's why she created "The Layoff Cooties Couch," an online community that's become precisely what so many need during their journey: a safe space to heal, share stories, and find strength together. It's a place where layoffs' emotional impact is understood, coaching meets counseling, and every story matters.

Laura actively shares insights about layoffs and life through daily LinkedIn posts while building meaningful connections with her growing network. Based in Maryland with her husband Erik and their children Ben and Kelsie, she balances her professional pursuits with creative passions. Her love for creating delicious charcuterie boards and her entrepreneurial spirit shine through her unique side hustle of rebuilding and reselling unfinished LEGO sets on eBay. Because life after layoff? It's full of possibilities you never imagined.

Ready to start your transformation? Laura welcomes connections through social media. After all, every great transformation starts with a single ripple effect...why not start yours today?
