Client Feedback
C.D.What struck me at first was Lisa’s sincere attention. She really tries to understand the individual and provide a personalized approach. She guided me to become more conscious of my authentic aspirations as well as my challenges and grounded it all by helping me establish a practical path forward towards my goals. Her approach combines intuition, drawn from years of experience, as well as a systemic approach that is both effective and efficient. It’s hard to believe how quickly we were able to make progress. I’m also a big fan of her “homework” assignments. While working on the assignments I was able to take the time and space needed to reflect and gain an elevated perspective on my life and career. Thank you so much, Lisa!
ANONMy main challenge is that I was approaching 50 years of age and felt like I was stuck in my role with no ability to change direction. I was facing high anxiety over this, as I felt I had to keep doing it for the paycheque, not for happiness. Lisa made me feel like I had skills and personality that I could apply anywhere and that it was not too late to achieve anything I wanted to do and re engage in my life. I was given confidence to explore a change. She provided personal insight on similar struggles she went through and made a change. I feel more confident in making a change in my career.
ANONI was struggling with my confidence and professional presence but hadn't yet realized it was due to an imperfect fit between my skills and ambitions and the organization I was working for. Lisa helped me think strategically about the next step in my career and gave me the courage to make a transition. I gained more insight into my purpose and my long-term career goals.
