Our Programs

Programs Designed for Your Success

Mastermind Groups

The best professionals don't figure it out alone. They surround themselves with people who challenge their thinking and sharpen their perspective.

Our mastermind groups bring together driven leaders and business owners for honest conversation, shared problem solving, and the kind of support you can't get from inside your own four walls.

PROFESSIONAL COACHING

Sometimes the biggest decisions need the smallest room. One conversation with the right person can shift everything.

Our coaching gives you a dedicated thinking partner focused entirely on you, your goals, your obstacles, and the path forward. No agenda but yours.

The First Couple of Coaching

Philip Cohen & Laura Hess

Coaches Who Push You Further

Philip didn’t just study business, he ran one. As a former managing partner, he knows what it feels like to be responsible for payroll, for people’s livelihoods, for decisions that don’t come with a manual.

He transitioned from CPA to coach in 1994 and brings that firsthand operational experience to every conversation.

Want to push your boundaries?

Laura left her CPA career in 1994 to help women thrive in business. As a Master Coach and mastermind facilitator, she’s dedicated to empowering all to break barriers & succeed.

Rated 5 out of 5

“Laura is a brilliant facilitator. My PUSH the Envelope™ Mastermind was a wonderful experience for me. I reached my goals much quicker than I would have on my own. I really connected with the other women in the group and made some wonderful new friends. It was great to have people to bounce things off of. I had insights left and right, one after the other. It’s an experience for women who really want to have a support team. The accountability was really great, and the belief in me made me believe more in myself. And, being a solopreneur, I have so much alone time. The community and camaraderie was amazing!”

“My name is Sheryl Green and I am a brand new motivational speaker, a business content writer, and an animal rescuer. I joined the PUSH the Envelope™ Mastermind Group with Laura Hess because I needed the support to tackle so many projects at once, and the wisdom to learn how to prioritize. Being in the group has helped me gain clarity in my message and my audience, and given me the support of like-minded female entrepreneurs. If you want to benefit from a group of supportive women who are invested in helping you grow your business and improve your life, a PUSH the Envelope™ Mastermind Group is just what you need!”

“I am so grateful to be able to work with Laura. I was at a loss of how to enhance my business of 20 years and I really don’t think I could get so much help. Laura has proven to be so intuitive and sharp that she was able to pinpoint the blocks I’ve been battling for years. I didn’t even know what they were… now I do! She has helped me to work through one piece at a time teaching me how to make the whole pictures work. I really appreciate that she is no-nonsense and excellent with guidance and direction. She has expanded and enhanced my business and brought back my joyfulness and excitement for the years to come….

FAQ

Ask, Discover, & Understand

Coaching is typically one-on-one and focused on your individual goals, decisions, and challenges. A mastermind group brings together a small group of peers who support each other through shared experience, perspective, and facilitated discussion. Both are designed for growth, but the format and dynamic are different.

We work primarily with business owners, executives, and professionals who want clarity, stronger decision-making, and sustainable growth. Most clients come to us during periods of change, growth, or transition.

Nope! Most of our coaching and mastermind groups are conducted virtually.
