About Us
Achieve Success, LLC was established by Laurie Mrva to assist business owners and professionals to clarify their vision for success, identify and create the positive change necessary to maximize potential and achieve profitable results.After working in a corporate retail office for 11 years and experiencing much success moving up the corporate ladder, Laurie had the opportunity to branch off into the area of work that she was most passionate about: helping others develop the skills and attitudes necessary for their SUCCESS.
She started her career in retail stores during college; upon graduation, she was promoted into the corporate office. Laurie's strengths lie in her ability to motivate and develop people; objectively analyze a situation, break down what information is needed and the actions to be taken to move forward; and stream-line processes and develop tools to enhance effectiveness and efficiency.
Prior to establishing her company, Achieve Success, LLC, Laurie completed intense training in the materials and development process that she implements and has received her certification in facilitation. She has 600 colleagues with whom she collaborates and draws upon their experiences to offer the best service to her clients. RAC (Resource Associate Corporation) - a company with 30 years of experience in achieving results - continuously re-evaluates and updates the materials and methods used for relevancy in today's world. Laurie continues to expand her knowledge by working with a mentor coach and attending quarterly development sessions.
Our uniqueness is our ability to provide a custom solution designed for your specific needs, along with implementing a development method that produces life-time changes. We develop people to use the skills and knowledge they already have more effectively to achieve the common organizational goals.
Laurie found her way to the Roanoke Valley after visiting friends in the area in the summer of 2005. She fell in love with the mountains and the kindness of everyone she met. Although it took her 2 years to arrive, she is enjoying exploring her new surroundings, meeting new people and becoming involved in the community. Laurie has joined a bowling league, a sport she has participated in for over 20 years and has become an active volunteer in the Botetourt community theater, Attic Productions. In pursuing a career in the training and development field, Laurie has joined the Roanoke Valley American Society for Training & Development (ASTD) and the Salem Roanoke County Chamber of Commerce.
Laurie has a "can do" attitude and believes that with a common focus anything can be achieved. Her goal is to help you achieve results: whether that is taking your business to the next level, becoming a motivational manager or improving your satisfaction in your personal life.
If you are not achieving the results you would like, please contact us to set up a mutual evaluation to find out how we can help you or your organization achieve greater success.
Create a Win, Win environment within your organization that welcomes personal growth, fosters communication and encourages people to maximize their potential.

Susan Halpin, Hired Laurie as a Career Coach in 2008
Laurie Mrva is a very skilled and insightful coach. In our individual coaching sessions, her probing questions and ability to help me identify underlying problems and self-defeating attitudes were key in helping me get past those obstacles in order to make positive changes in both my business and personal life. I continue to use what she taught me, and I see no end to the successes I can achieve. If you are considering investing in your personal and professional growth, I would definitely recommend that you speak with Laurie.
