Layla’s purpose is to help more people show up authentically, find meaning and play big in their work.
Layla has spent her career working with top leaders across many industries – from financial services to biotech, oil and gas, and professional services – and she’s a sought-after facilitator and communicator, passionate about creating powerfully inclusive cultures and crafting compelling stories that drive behavior change.
Layla has worked with some of the world’s leading brands during times of massive transition, finding focus and articulating the essence of their purpose in order to launch them forward on a new path.
Naturally competitive, she’s often lacing her running shoes for a marathon or skiing in her beloved Colorado mountains. Her active lifestyle is mostly to offset her secret desire to be a pastry chef (the world needs more cookies!).
She has a B.S in Business Administration from Pepperdine University. She lives in Denver with her husband and young daughter.
Let's Talk
What's in a name?
Apical is what forms the apex – or the highest part – of something. The application of this word that we like most is the Apical Dominance of a grape vine. This is the point on the vine where the flower bud starts and, eventually, forms the grape.
It’s the start of the blossom, the beginning of the end goal. That’s what we want to be for our clients – the starting point for great things ahead.
