“Working with an executive coach is like having a compass for your career;
it helps you navigate towards your true north with clarity and purpose”.
Having never worked with an Executive Coach I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started working with Lisa. In that relatively short time, Lisa brought so much focus, positivity, personal attention, and experience that it had a profound, meaningful impact on me and my career. I look forward to every discussion with her as I know I will walk away with some new nugget of advice, skill, or activity that will help me on a daily basis. And because she takes the time to truly understand you, it feels as though you have your own personally designed playbook. She gave me the insights and tools that I can use to be a better and more effective leader, employee, and person. I highly recommend Lisa as an Executive Coach you can trust for professional development and leadership effectiveness.

Lisa is the consummate professional. Her persistence and consistency have been among the most valuable elements of my executive coaching process- Lisa builds a foundation of trust with her clients. Lisa asks the right questions which enable me to make solid decisions. She has helped me to focus and prioritize. I have been better able to look at opportunities and challenges in different ways, thus finding very meaningful solutions. I am a better leader today because of the coaching I received from Lisa. I highly recommend her as your coach - you can trust that Lisa will invest in you, be a valued resource, a positive critic and your champion.

Upon meeting with a professional coach for the first time, I was really excited and had a very specific list of things I needed help with:
1. I needed to find an answer to the question: “where do you want to be in 5 years?”
2. I aspired to find the perfect work/life balance.
3. I wanted to embrace career growth.
When Lisa one-upped me by asking me to come prepared with her coaching questionnaire filled out, I knew it was a match made in heaven. It made me step back and take a look at the bigger picture. This is a document that I still go back to today – 2 years later – to help ground me in both my professional and personal life.
So how am I doing against my original list? I’m know what ignites me, and more importantly what drains me. I feel confident saying out loud that I do, in fact, want to be part of the marketing executive leadership team at Dell. I have learned there is no perfect work/life balance, and it’s all about integration and accepting the uncomfortable trade-offs. And I have been promoted – three times– and am now Vice President of a high-performing team. All of this was accomplished working alongside Lisa as my Executive Coach.
Lisa truly helps me be my best self. She shines a light on my strengths, while giving me the tools to be aware of and continuously work on opportunity areas. She is insightful and thoughtful, and she is direct and no-nonsense but reminds me to stop, breathe, and reflect. I trust her implicitly and share unabashedly. I am my true self in her presence, and I am confident anyone who gets the chance to work with Lisa will be better for it. I know I am. Thank you, Lisa!

While leading a new team at Dell Technologies, I was given the opportunity to work with Lisa as my executive coach. I’ve worked with other coaches in my career, but I have to say that Lisa has been the best. She was a “game -changer”. She had a meaningful impact on my approach to challenges at work as well as how I viewed and approached my career choices.
Lisa brings a unique approach to executive coaching. She is able to balance the client’s requirements against the coaching process to fine tune a program to meet the client’s challenges. She also brings a level of empathy and sincerity that is rare. Having said that, she can also be tough and push the client to explore challenging areas — as necessary.

When I started a new position leading a larger team, I started working with Lisa as my Executive Coach to help me build and maximize my leadership skills. She employed the Energy Leadership model to help me understand what level I was leading from and how to manage and shift energy as a leader. This was instrumental for me in understanding the energy and emotion behind interactions and communications with people that I managed as well as other team members, leaders and stakeholders within the organization. Through coaching, I’ve been able to incorporate several tangible tools (SMART Work, Communication) enabling me to be more intentional and effective in my role as a leader.

I’ve been most impressed and impacted by Lisa's ability to intuitively and accurately read people. Unlike many who have such an ability, Lisa goes further and connects with people. Her ability to read and connect is a highly valuable asset that will richly serve anyone seeking a coach or a navigator looking to grow themselves within their chosen field or looking to identify brand new opportunities…Lisa is the real deal; someone who seeks to encourage the best in others. This is truly one of the areas where Lisa shines. This is where she is at her best, so that others may be at theirs.

When I met Lisa, I had a good position with PepsiCo but was feeling under-utilized. Lisa's ability to quickly read my career situation and recognize my potential was invaluable.

Together, we laid out clear weekly goals that I could accomplish with my hectic schedule which increasingly built my confidence.
