"Change is inevitable. Growth is optional."

John C. Maxwell

Her coaching is perfect for the person who feels like they don’t have the time for it.

Working with Lori has been massively helpful. I appreciate having someone who’s understanding but goal-oriented to help me gain perspective on my situation and set achievable goals.

Lori and I talked through the issues I was facing and my overall work-life balance, and she partnered with me to identify my priorities and set realistic goals—rather than my customary endless to-do lists—and come up with plans to achieve those goals.

Her coaching is perfect for the person who feels like they don’t have the time for it. Lori provides a non-judgmental, yet motivating “voice of reason,” and she guided me in reframing my goals and plans to achieve them in a way that made them more realistic and attainable to fit my needs. It’s been both a grounding and motivating experience.

Senior Project Manager

There was an unveiling of something that I already knew was there, but wasn’t confident in.

I feel so much gratitude for Lori’s abilities and sensitivity! She created an atmosphere where I could be vulnerable and open. I felt cared for and listened to. She understood my perspective and needs and helped me find my way in a space where I led the conversation, and she also proposed and led me through some really fantastic exercises to help kickstart my thinking.

During the course of our conversations lots of threads that felt somewhat disparate earlier came together. There was an unveiling of something that I already knew was there, but wasn’t confident in. Working through some deeply emotional topics that I don’t normally explore on my own gave them validity and allowed me to take them off the shelf without fear.

Lori’s coaching is beneficial for people in so many phases of their lives, especially folks who might be questioning where they are at now and where they thought they would be — measuring their goals and dreams vs. reality.

Senior Web Development Manager

The thing I appreciate most from our coaching time together is Lori’s ability to help me personalize my goals and to process through all the potential paths.

When considering how to move forward, we evaluated the value and the biggest potential return of each step. The tone of our meetings was encouraging, and Lori took genuine interest in my pursuits.

Lori’s coaching is perfect for someone who is in transition, whether starting a new endeavor or ending an old one. She helps people navigate and focus through business challenges with a lot of moving parts and considerations. She is perfect for someone who is motivated to transition well and leverage past experience to move to the next opportunity.

Through the process of coaching, I discovered a goal that made more sense for me than my original goal. What we ended up working on made a profoundly positive impact in my current career.

Senior Software Engineer

No matter what challenge I am working through, Lori is able to take in all the details while helping me see the big picture.

As a UX designer, I consider myself to be a professional problem solver. But I didn’t realize the degree to which I was struggling to address my own problems until I began working with Lori. I tend to think in circles and obsess over the details, but she’s helped me think strategically about the life I want to create. Lori excels at asking questions that help me articulate my goals and the values that drive them. This has enabled me to move forward through some truly challenging stages of my career.

No matter what challenge I am working through, Lori is able to take in all the details while helping me see the big picture. I especially appreciate how empathetic she is. We live in different parts of the country and come from different backgrounds, but she always makes me feel seen.

It’s hard to think of anyone for whom coaching isn’t perfect.  I think someone who is ambitious about pursuing a values-driven life would benefit from personal coaching with Lori.
