Laurie Butson founded Cleared to Flourish, LLC in 2023 after a 25-year corporate career leading global initiatives in learning and development, employee engagement, and employee experience work. Basically, making work as engaging and enriching as possible for employees! Her transition from corporate life came after being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, leading her to prioritize her health and fulfill my dream of entrepreneurship.
At Cleared to Flourish, she offers programs and services to individuals and workplaces, drawing on her expertise as a certified Positive Psychology speaker, practitioner, consultant, and coach. Positive Psychology is the science of wellbeing and human flourishing. Her journey into Positive Psychology began during the pandemic, motivated by a desire to enhance awareness, education, and conversation around mental health and wellbeing. This path took on personal significance when she had the opportunity to apply Positive Psychology to her own healing journey with Rheumatoid Arthritis, helping her discover her life’s purpose: empowering others to lead flourishing lives, especially those with chronic illnesses.
Having tackled her RA diagnosis holistically, she's found that flourishing is indeed possible with chronic illness, and she is passionate about helping others achieve this as well. Despite only 25% of the global population thriving, Laurie believes that with the right support, flourishing is within reach for everyone. Let's collaborate to start your journey to flourishing!
