Hi, I’m Laura Haykel

With 25+ years in sales and business development, I founded iFlourish Consulting to help startups, small businesses, and cultural organizations refine their systems, connect with ideal clients, and thrive.

I bring a strategic yet intuitive approach: blending clear processes with a deep understanding of people. Whether I’m building out a sales engine or walking through your customer journey, my goal is to spark growth, deepen relationships, and align every experience with your vision and values.

Alongside my consulting work, I’ve spoken at TEDx and SXSW, produced original music, and co-founded Inclusive Conversations—all experiences that fuel my belief in the power of connection, creativity, and community.
