Laurel Elders, MCC, CEC
Institute Visionary / Founder / Senior Faculty / Lead Instructor
Laurel Elders is a Master Certified Coach through the International Coaching Federation (ICF). She is the founder and CEO of the Institute. Laurel began her career as a coach in 2005 after noticing that we are living in pivotal times; corporations often place profit above people, individuals are feeling lost in the "rat race" and corporate drive is leaving the largest scale impact on the future of sustainability.
Laurel observed how coaching is powerfully tapping into the next phase of human potential in ways never before experienced and coaches are activating much needed solutions. She is invested in bringing the highest levels of coaching, training and mentoring, into a world that needs people's gifts, talents, purpose and heart, now more than ever.
Her clients and students are torch holders for positive impact, locally and globally, in service to the generations ahead.

Lauren Stidham is a certified life coach and graduate from the Institute for Integrative Intelligence. She is also a HeartMath® Certified Trainer. Lauren was born and raised in Tucson, Arizona and attended Northern Arizona University, where she dual majored in elementary and special education. Lauren taught 5th grade for 7 years then transitioned into the world of sales and entrepreneurship. For over 15 years, she trained and empowered hundreds of women while building up a spa and skincare business.
In the Fall of 2019, Lauren felt called to do more meaningful work in this world and was introduced to life coaching. As soon as she settled into her first coaching class at the Institute for Integrative Intelligence, it felt like home. Coaching was the perfect place for her to use some of her top strengths like empathy, strategic thinking, and asking deep questions. In the Spring of 2020 (mid-pandemic), she opened her own coaching practice called Blueprint to Bloom and is helping others be the architect of a life they love. She is passionate about helping people get unstuck from fear and confusion, so they can move forward into their full potential!
When Lauren is not coaching… you will find her reading a book for book club or trying to recreate a Pinterest craft. She enjoys walking, restorative yoga, paddling her feet in the ocean, fiddling with her potted plants, studying the enneagram, and laughing with friends over a caramel frappuccino.
