About Tiny Ripples
New business. Deep experience.
Tiny Ripples Consulting is grounded in years of work helping organizations understand participation, listening, recognition, connection, and the human experience behind engagement. The practice is new, and it is built on a long view of what makes this work meaningful and what makes it last.
Founder
Laura Regus-Rabbani, MBA, PMP
The practice is new. The experience behind it is not.
Laura is the founder of Tiny Ripples Consulting. Before launching Tiny Ripples in 2026, she spent more than 15 years working across finance, strategy, employee experience, and engagement, including time at Liberty Mutual.
That work happened inside organizations, not alongside them from the outside. Laura has sat inside the systems, timelines, expectations, and constraints that shape engagement work every day, the limited capacity, the competing priorities, the stakeholder expectations, and the everyday pressure to keep things moving.
Tiny Ripples is built from that vantage point. Laura brings a data-informed way of seeing patterns, gaps, participation, feedback, recognition, and employee experience. Her MBA and PMP add structure, but the work is also shaped by years of translating information into decisions, participation into insight, and listening into follow-through.
Experience across
Why Tiny Ripples?
Small shifts, carried outward.
The name reflects the belief behind the work: small, intentional shifts in how people are heard, included, recognized, and invited to participate can create effects that travel farther than the original moment.
After years inside organizations, Laura saw how often meaningful change starts not with a massive initiative, but with a clearer question, a better listening loop, or one practical shift a team can actually sustain.
What shapes the practice
Two things that keep the work grounded.
Tiny Ripples is built on a particular way of seeing and a particular relationship to the work. Both shape how Laura approaches engagement, listening, and recognition.
A data-informed lens
Data helps show where to look. Laura brings a data-informed way of seeing patterns, gaps, participation, feedback, recognition, and employee experience. Numbers point to the right questions. The experience behind them explains why.
Inside-the-work experience
Laura is not approaching this work from theory alone. She has been inside the systems, timelines, expectations, and constraints that shape engagement work every day. She understands the tension between meaningful engagement work and real capacity, competing priorities, and implementation realities.
Point of view
How we think about this work.
A few beliefs that shape how Tiny Ripples approaches engagement, listening, and recognition.
Listen before solving.
The most useful next step usually shows up once people have had a chance to be heard. We start there, on purpose, before reaching for a solution.
Meaningful participation over performative participation.
A full room isn't the same as a real contribution. We look at who is actually taking part, who isn't, and what that difference is telling you.
Feedback that leads somewhere.
Asking is the easy part. The work is closing the loop so people can see that what they shared was taken seriously and shaped what happened next.
Data plus the human story.
Numbers show where to look. The experience behind them explains why. Both matter, and neither is enough on its own.
Sustainable engagement over more activity.
More programs, surveys, and events can look like progress and still leave people more drained than connected. We aim for less that holds together.
How it feels to work together
Collaborative, practical, paced for real capacity.
We work alongside your team rather than handing over a plan from the outside. Your people know the organization, the history, and the tradeoffs. We bring structure, an outside perspective, and the time to look closely.
The work is reflective and clear. We name what we are seeing, ask better questions, and make the thinking visible so your team can carry it forward.
It is also paced for real capacity. More activity is easy to add and hard to sustain. We aim for changes a team can realistically keep going, so engagement becomes more meaningful rather than simply more.
This is a working relationship, not a rescue. We are most useful with capable teams who want a thoughtful partner to think with, not someone to take the work off their hands.
Values & commitments
What the work is anchored to.
Meaningful Human Connection
We keep the actual people involved at the center of the work, not as an abstraction.
Collaboration Over Authority
Your team knows your organization. We bring structure and outside perspective, and we share the work rather than hand it down.
Empathy, Curiosity & Understanding
We assume good intent and real constraints, and we stay curious about what is happening underneath what is visible.
Equity, Inclusion & Meaningful Participation
Who gets to take part, and on what terms, is a design question. We keep it in view throughout the work.
Intentional & Sustainable Impact
We aim for changes a team can realistically keep going, not effort that depends on us to maintain.
Start the conversation.
If you are questioning participation, engagement, listening, recognition, or connection in your organization, a conversation is a good place to begin. We can look at what you are seeing, what may be underneath it, and whether it makes sense to work together.
