Complimentary · 30 minutes · With Laura
Who does LB Consulting work with?
Fashion and wellness businesses. In fashion: brands, PR and marketing agencies, producers, creative studios, casting agencies, and model and talent agencies. In wellness: brands, coaches, practitioners, studios, retreat businesses, and wellness-focused hospitality.
Do I need to be technical to work with you?
No. I’ll work with you to understand how your team operates and explain the options in plain language.
How do we get started?
We start with a complimentary 30-minute call. Tell me about your business and what you’d like to improve. We’ll work out whether an assessment, workshop, or focused project makes sense. You don’t need to choose a service beforehand.
Do you always recommend AI?
No. I start with how the work gets done. If a simpler process would solve the problem, I’ll recommend that.
Which AI tools do you work with?
I work with AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, and Gemini, alongside automation tools and AI features in the software your team already uses. The choice depends on what your team needs.
Can you train my team to use AI?
Yes. Workshops are built around your team’s actual responsibilities, from preparing briefs and client updates to organizing information, so people learn to use AI thoughtfully, check its output, and know when their own expertise is the better answer.
What’s the difference between an AI assessment and AI training?
An assessment looks at how work gets done across your business and gives you a prioritized roadmap. Training builds your team’s skills and confidence to use AI in their own roles. Many businesses start with one and add the other.
Will AI replace my team or our creative judgment?
No. Every engagement is designed to support your team’s expertise, not replace it. Human review and ownership are built into each system, so the judgment, relationships, and standards that make your business distinct stay with your team.
Do you work with small businesses and independent practitioners?
Yes, within fashion and wellness. That includes independent creatives, coaches, and practitioners as well as agencies, brands, and studios.
How much does it cost, and how long does it take?
Every engagement is shaped around your business, so scope, timing, and investment are discussed after the complimentary call, once we know what you actually need.
Do you work with businesses outside New York?
Yes. I work remotely with clients worldwide.
Who will I work with?
You’ll work directly with me. I personally lead every engagement.
Do you still do fashion show and event production?
Yes. Production strategy and consulting for shows, events, and brand experiences is available by direct inquiry: laura@lbconsultingny.com.
What happens after the consultation?
If there’s a fit, I’ll send a proposal outlining the scope, timing, and fees. You can review it before deciding whether to move forward.
Let’s talk about your business.
Tell me what’s taking up your time and what you’d like to improve. We’ll use the call to work out where to start.
