One of the things I appreciated the most about my coaching sessions with Lisa was the feeling of being held in a loving and nonjudgmental way. I haven’t always had that experience with other coaches. She has a way of listening deeply, asking questions that are right on point, making space for whatever emerges, and walking right beside you through your discoveries, whether painful or triumphant. She helped me navigate a wild jumble of thoughts, ideas, desires, fears, anxieties, and frustrations, and come out on the other side feeling like I could finally see clearly enough to make my way forward. Lisa’s coaching was exactly what I needed at this point in my life.

Lisa is a great listener with so much wisdom, and she approaches situations from a perspective that I never considered. She truly cares about helping people--it's more than a job. Lisa doesn’t offer "feel good" advice, but she gives wisdom that is practical. In a conflict she doesn’t take a side but seeks to find a solution that acknowledges feelings and leads to resolution. Lisa is the most empathetic person I know. She feels what we feel and then tries to figure out what's best for us. It's in her to want to help people. Coaching is the perfect role for her.

Working with Lisa is a gift, both because she is kind and nurturing, but also because she is wise. She gave me encouragement and personalized feedback in a way that encouraged my growth. I appreciated the “homework” she assigned that would usually start with, “This week I’d like you to experiment with trying this…” and she’d give a gentle push in some area we’d been talking about. The suggestions were practical, manageable, and helpful. Since our sessions together, I have noticed positive changes to my habits and thought patterns.

Working with Lisa offered experiences and insights I didn’t know to expect or hope for. The opportunity to enter into group coaching with three dear friends provided a safe place to explore and dig deeper into topics led by Lisa’s insightful guidance. Lisa created a framework and structure to our sessions, sharing resources, techniques and questions. I left each session with action steps and accountability to support my own growth. Due to the group nature of our sessions, Lisa still individualized the experience but her framework allowed us to become an even deeper community of friends.

While in the middle of a very stressful situation at work, Lisa made time to listen and offer options and tools to address an upcoming, challenging conversation. She helped me to see the heart of the person I was in conflict with, which allowed me to approach communication from a grounded and calm place. Lisa helped me express and understand my own needs and strengths and communicate with those in mind.

I can’t recommend Lisa’s services highly enough…she is a coach and a guide in the truest sense.

Lisa prepared me to have difficult conversations. I’m someone who avoids conflict, and she’s given me tools and confidence to have these conversations. I’ve walked away from each challenging situation not regretting anything I said, which is big for someone who is always hard on herself.

Lisa also helped me process my emotions so that any difficult email I send or hard conversation I have is more productive and on-point.

I know my conversations with Lisa are confidential, so I’ve asked her to edit some challenging emails for me. I felt much better sending them out after she and I discussed things. Lisa’s edits were concise and clear. In fact, she changed just one word in a certain sentence and it made a big difference.

Lisa is really good at making sure I mean what I say. For example, in an email where I had to give someone unpleasant news, I initially wrote some things to soften the blow, even if I didn’t mean them. She called me on that, which I really appreciated.
