“Who does not know how to lead himself cannot lead others.”

~ Unknown

You’re ahead of the game in your business, you know the value of your people and believe in investing in a people-first culture.

A term that’s often thrown around, yet you’re committed to experience it as your reality.

Like every great organization, you recognize sometimes, even your best and brightest performers need a champion and thinking partner in their corner.

To say that I am grateful to have crossed paths with Lisa is an understatement - I would not be the leader that I am today, without her! From the very beginning, Lisa made me feel comfortable talking through my biggest fears and challenges in the workplace. She knew exactly the right questions to ask to drive self-reflection and helped guide me through having difficult (but necessary) conversations with my teams. Lisa's style is the perfect balance between a coach, a mentor and friend. She is extremely empathetic, genuinely curious and heavily invested in the success of her clients. Lisa became the tiny voice in my head that would always tell me, "you've got this!" The confidence I gained, the high performing team that I developed and my renewed effectiveness as a leader are all direct impacts from my time with Lisa. She far exceeded any expectations I had for a professional coach and I only hope that others will be as lucky to work with her as well! THANK YOU, Lisa!!

I decided to work with a Coach to help me work through some areas pertaining to my career. Lisa’s background impressed me, and it was an easy decision for me to partner with her and get some insight and clarity on my next steps. While partnering with me, she helped me gain awareness on what I should be considering as I explore where I’m at in my career and where I’d like to go. Her ability to ask powerful questions helped me reflect on what I need to be thinking about and what resources to consider as I plan for my future. With the many options available of Coaches to work with, I’d highly recommend working with Lisa as she is easy to work with and helps you get results.

She's not only an amazing listener but also uses powerful questions to raise your awareness in a trusted way. Her ability to shift perspective, using humor to create lightness and confidence to work with strong emotions are inspirational!

Hi Lisa, as we’re wrapping up the holidays, I’m also wrapping up my second year at (company name), and while it’s been imperfect and crazy at times, I wanted to say thank you for your help in getting me there. The change was exactly what I needed at that stage of my career, and it wouldn’t have happened without you. I really enjoy reading your posts! I think you’re an inspiration.

Good morning Lisa. Two years ago today you interviewed me for the (position title) at (company name) supporting the (account) business. I just wanted to reach out on this anniversary and say a sincere thank you. I had been laid off and went through the usual wringer of interviews for a number of positions and had a wide range of experiences when it came to interviewing in the initial stage. I firmly believe that your advice and coaching helped me to secure the position. I can't thank you enough for everything you did. I am still very happily with (company name) and hope to be for a long time to come. From the initial interview through to pushing to get the offer in time so I could in good faith turn down another competitive offer so I could get my preferred position - it couldn't have happened without your help. I know you can be in a sometimes thankless position and a field that can be full of ghosters and fee chasers. You are a class act and an example for all in your field. Thank you again for helping secure my new home. I hope life is treating you well and that the countless people you have worked with since appreciate the rare gem you are.

When I first started working with Lisa I was struggling with confidence in difficult situations as well as with committing quality time with my teams while still tackling my day-to-day work. Through my sessions with Lisa and the valuable tools she shared with me I have grown tremendously on both being more confident and in fostering meaningful relationships with my teams. Not only has my team noticed a difference, but so have my senior leaders. I have truly shifted from being a manager of people to a leader and a coach. I am grateful to Lisa for her patience, delivery of knowledge with grace, and her expertise. I highly recommend Lisa to friends, family, and colleagues who could use some meaningful guidance or are looking to become their best self. I carry her guidance with me and refer to it often.

Looking back at these past 2 years, I have a distinct fork in my life that I have named "Before Lisa" and "With Lisa." My life "Before Lisa" was difficult and overwhelming. I would cry at night from being overwhelmed with work, changes at home, balancing work and home, not knowing where life was going, especially during COVID. My life "With Lisa" is drastically better. You've given me so many tools to handle my life, from learning how to set boundaries, to understanding how to work with my emotions, walk through my fears, and build my confidence. You have picked me up when I am down and helped me start back up again, even if I didn't want to. You have inspired me to seek a happier life for myself and you have helped me start to believe in myself. My body and soul are happier for it all. Thank you for helping me get to where I am today. Please know that you are wonderful, I really can't express how much you have impacted my life. You have changed my life and I am so grateful to have the opportunity to work with you.

Working with Lisa has been incredible and has changed my life in such a meaningful way. Prior to working with Lisa, I had low self-confidence and struggled with my self-worth. I didn’t fully understand how underlying issues I had not previously addressed had been affecting both my personal and professional life. Lisa encouraged me to dive deeper, look inward and face these issues head on. Lisa created a safe environment where I felt comfortable being open and vulnerable. She has a way of diving deep to identify what needs to be brought to the surface and through the work we did together I had several break-through moments that have impacted my life in such a positive way and have been a gift to me. I now have a higher level of self-worth and I am a more empowered version of myself. Together we also worked on skills that have helped me in my career from using my voice and more effectively communicating to learning to lead with more confidence. But the biggest skill Lisa gave me was she helped me better value myself. Working with Lisa has been life changing and I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to work with her.

So Why Coaching and What Makes
Coach Lisa Different?

As long as leaders are needed, coaching will be in demand. When the stakes are high, as they often are for leaders, the expectations for their performance is even higher. 

Whether you’re the CEO of your organization or a high achiever aspiring to sit on the executive leadership team, coaching is a partnership approach to help develop leadership skills and take your performance to the next level.

In the ever evolving industry of coaching, it’s easy to fall prey to firms leading as experts in one particular function and adding services like coaching to their suite of offerings with untrained people posing as Coaches. 

Firms claiming to specialize in coaching, yet focus primarily on process improvement and scalability miss the mark when it comes to the unique approach that your leaders and teams need. A focus on people. 

Your people need someone who can connect to the parts of them that make them human. A Coach that understands the challenges they face in their business and professional life, yet can help them overcome those challenges, develop them as leaders of tomorrow while caring for them as humans.

As resourceful, whole individuals, Coach Lisa holds the mirror up to show what’s holding people back from being their best whether in their professional or personal life. She is a thinking partner in their corner and helps people see higher possibilities and solutions.

Things to consider that impact a successful coaching engagement: a client commitment to doing the work in between sessions, a clear gap between where the client is to where they desire to be, an understanding that behavior change takes time and is not based on an expectation of overnight success, a genuine motivation for professional and personal growth to name a few.
