"If you limit your options only to what seems possible or reasonable . . . you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all you have left is a compromise .  .  .  .[T]he human spirit will not invest itself in a compromise.

Individual Coaching

No single approach works for everyone, so we start by designing the best way for us to work together.  Services (including length of engagement and frequency of sessions) are tailored to meet your needs.  Among others, clients often coach on the following topics

Authentic Leadership

Leadership coaching is designed to empower you to claim your authentic leadership style with confidence and tenacity. Authentic leadership starts with insight and self awareness.  We'll begin by exploring values, strengths, skills, abilities, passions and interests.  We'll create a leadership vision that inspires and motivates.  Then we'll design a personalized leadership plan that captures short and long term goals, identifies leadership opportunities, sets forth specific action steps and includes strategies for overcoming obstacles and maintaining momentum.

Powerful Transitions

Transitions can be exciting.  They can also be stressful and leave you feeling rudderless.  Whether it's increased job responsibility, career advancement, or job transition or loss, this coaching focuses on navigating these periods with clarity, ease and direction; cultivating resilience; and, creating sustainable strategies for success.   

I started working with Lisa after I had just left an 18-year career in finance . . . and over the next 18 months, Lisa continually challenged my limits and took me WAY outside my comfort zone. . .She was able to find knew ways to help me become "unstuck" and realize my full potential.  I am now in a new and more fulfilling career and have found the love of my life . . . 2 things I didn't think were possible."      

​Career Development

Career development coaching encompasses career planning, management and advancement. The goal is to support you in making informed decisions concerning career development and your personal trajectory, and to provide you with tools and concrete steps to achieve your career objectives. It is grounded in personal insight, clarity, strategy and action.  We will look at factors that keep you stuck and explore strategies for breaking through unproductive patterns so that you move forward passionately and purposefully. This coaching also focuses on skill building in such areas as networking, leadership, communication, mentorship, delegation, strategic partnerships, interpersonal relationships, and balancing priorities and time.

​Lisa's coaching and 20-year experience as a Wall Street lawyer helped me prepare for a difficult compensation conversation.  She skillfully coached me in formulating the best way to make the strongest case for myself,  in the way that felt most comfortable for me.  I felt confident and resolute with my approach both during and after the conversation.  I would not have felt this way without Lisa’s coaching and I continue to enlist her support for hard conversations.

​Lisa is a powerful and insightful coach. Her coaching is informed by her successful career as an attorney, which positions her particularly well to have an understanding of, and deep compassion for, the challenges that professional women face. Lisa has been a powerful ally in my professional development: her ability to provide insight, tell the truth with compassion and help develop practical, inspired, solution-oriented next steps are truly remarkable!

Life Design 2.0

No doubt you've worked hard to get where you are.  You're successful, AND something's missing.  Life Design 2.0 coaching is for successful professionals who want something more.  Maybe it's more joy, more freedom, more fun. Maybe it's making a difference in a way that deeply fulfills you.  Maybe you don't know, and that's fine too. This coaching provides a supportive, structured setting for inquiry, introspection and exploration.  What lights you up?  What's the contribution you want to make in your life now and going forward? What possibilities have you yet to identify? The answers to these questions serve as foundation for re-designing your life on your terms.

Complimentary Consultation

Coaching is an investment of time, energy and money.   It's important to me that you understand how coaching works, get answers to your questions, and determine whether we have the "right fit."  During the consultation, we'll discuss your goals and objectives, how coaching might help, and logistics and fees.  This conversation can be by phone, Skype or in-person.
