The "Extreme" International Coach, Speaker, and Seminar Leader is what I am known for!

Nothing says extreme more than someone telling it like it is regardless of the consequences, and no other approach gets better results. Laurie A. Santos, CEO of Extreme Dream Coaching and Training, published author, and professional speaker, is known for her somewhat sassy, no-nonsense, hit-the-ground-running, run-toward-your-fear approach. Recognizing that honesty and commitment to action are the two must-haves for success, she has created a 4-Step Extreme Dream Program guaranteed to help people create a life they love.

Laurie helps professionals in every industry discover their extreme dream and go after it, and keep going after it, even when life deals out difficult circumstances. Encouraging her clients to use their fear as fuel and turn their obstacles into opportunities, she enables them to break through old ways of thinking and acting and create habits of mind and body that will ensure their success. The combination of her extreme dream principles, life coaching methods, "The Work" techniques, Universal Laws, and her extreme personality makes her a coach like no other!

With a Master in Administration of Justice, a Bachelor of Science in Anthropology, 10 years of experience with the most dangerous and cunning of criminals, and two Life Coach certifications (The Coaches Training Institute and The Coaches Training Alliance), Laurie has a deep understanding of human behavior and knows how to support any personality in any environment. As a federal officer and liaison to federal judges, she saw every day the truth that people are hindered only by the stories they create (and stick to) in their own minds, and that change is just a matter of facing fears and altering habits.

Before committing to full-time work as Chief Extreme Officer of Extreme Dream Training and Coaching, she pursued her own extreme dream and moved to Spain to volunteer in a small government-owned radio station where she wrote and recorded tag lines and commercials and conducted interviews in both Spanish and English for six months.

Today, Laurie coaches full-time and conducts seminars on how to deliberately create and live out one's dreams. She inspires executives, salespeople, speakers, and others to overcome their greatest fears and live a life that inspires them.Her speaking topics include, The Power of Embracing Risk;Designing a Coaching Culture in Any Organization; and The Extreme Dream: The Greatest Game Ever Lived.
