Laurie Thibert

Laurie Thibert, founder of Aligned Insights Matter™ (AIM™), helps school districts build high-trust, high-performing teams through Relational Intelligence (RQ). Her bestselling book, The CATR Theory™ (pronounced “cater”), gives leaders, educators, and families a practical framework for strengthening relationships and repairing cracks without blame, shame, or drama. The framework rests on four legs: Communication, Accountability, Trust, and Respect. The legs are not independent, they are interdependent and build upon one another. As an adoptive solo parent who opened her home to several teens, Laurie brings business rigor and lived experience to helping students, and the adults who serve them, thrive.
