"Lisa has been my coach for the past two years. To say that she's had a profound impact on my life is an understatement. With her support I've moved from thinking about changes in my career and family life to landing my dream leadership position and moving my family to my desired area of the country. Her guidance through leadership and career development were invaluable to achieving my dream job and exceeding my compensation expectations. Along the way, her structured but compassionate approach also helped me find new ways to celebrate my children and husband, all while achieving what I want in my career. "

"Lisa is one of the most naturally intuitive, thoughtful, genuine and caring people I know. She simply loves the process of helping others become better at whatever it is they want in life. Over the past 15 years that I’ve known her, she has helped me develop a better awareness about myself both professionally and personally. That has been truly instrumental to my growth. Strategic, laser-focused and astutely perceptive, Lisa has this rare ability to not only help you tease out big-picture plans, but also takes you step-by-step through how to achieve what you want. She has inspired me in countless ways, kicked me into high gear when I needed it most and made me believe in myself during times when I felt so overwhelmed and uncertain. I feel incredibly lucky to know her, and for all of the beautiful ways she has helped shape my life."

"In the past year with Lisa as my leadership coach, I've learned how to use my existing skills to be my own advocate, chart my own course both personally and professionally and achieve balance in my life (or at least understand how to start getting there!) I recently completed a graduate program, obtained a new position and was charged with new management and leadership responsibilities – all of this a direct result of the hard work and reflection from our coaching sessions. Lisa is so approachable, genuine and will give you much-needed perspective. If you're looking for a coach who will support you while challenging you to get outside of your comfort zone, Lisa is the coach you need. Be ready to do your homework and you'll be amazed at the results. Lisa truly is the best!"

"In a short period of time, Lisa made a tremendously positive impact for me. She is someone who comes not only with a lot of very relevant experience, but also is adept at building a trusting relationship where real progress can be made. Lisa helped me see myself much more clearly - both my strengths and areas for development - and importantly how to action my plan to evolve. Lisa also helped me to get to much more clarity on my own career goals and dreams - to see the bigger picture and what my true motivations are. I am very thankful to Lisa and look forward to a very fruitful relationship going forward."

"Working with Lisa changed my life. Between our first and last coaching conversations, the trajectory of both my career and personal life completely changed. Lisa helped me focus on what was important to me, who I wanted to be and how I could get there. I was able to abandon what I "thought" was supposed to happen and instead create a life and business that I'm proud of. I looked forward to our meetings because they opened my eyes and helped me push past barriers I didn't even know existed. Lisa will challenge you, excite you and launch you forward in any and every area of your life."

"Lisa's coaching has been incredibly helpful in shaping my career trajectory. She asks the right questions, is able to provide great insight from her experience and is challenging where needed. With Lisa's support, I've recently accepted my first role as chief executive of a nonprofit organization. In my new role, I intend to continue working closely with Lisa as I think strategically about how to grow the organization and become the best leader I can be. I have no doubt that both I and my organization will benefit greatly from her support."
