Working with Lara this past year has been a game changer. She helped me take control of my career by gaining clarity about my strengths, examining my weaknesses, and considering new possibilities.

- KateOperations Leader

“Before working with Lara I truly felt I was at my ‘breaking point’ – stressed, tired, overwhelmed, and feeling like I was on a constant ‘hamster wheel’, spinning out of control.
Lara helped me to get my joy and confidence back. I’m now able to balance work and life more clearly with renewed focus. I have my happy life back”

- JillianSr. Project Manager

“I’m grateful for the freedom and confidence working with Lara has given me in my professional life, I no longer think I’m an odd-ball, I feel one of the most capable people out there!”

- NicolaMarketing Manager

“I described myself before coaching as having ‘lost my skip’. I had no job satisfaction, no ambition and just no lust for life.
Lara understood my situation and helped me get to a place where I not only fit but where I can grow. So, so, so happy.”

- MarinaTraining Director

I’ve had the opportunity to work with many coaches in my career. Lara’s coaching stands out. In working with Lara, I learned to soften my perfectionist nature and recalibrate my relationship to work - stressing less and delivering more. She was incredibly skillful in switching between allowing me to work through challenges on my own and offering clear advice, drawing on her extensive experience as a leader herself. Listening - and her reflecting back what she heard - led me to some important insights. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

- EmilyC-Suite non-profit leader

I worked with Lara over the course of a year. She guided me through a very challenging turning point in my career. With her direct, inquisitive, and caring approach, she helped me assess what matters to me most in life and in work. From there, we collaborated to identify my most valuable strengths, and then she led me to find my own logical and attainable direction forward. Lara has an incredible way of motivating action and decisiveness in clients without being pushy. She's professional, clear, knowledgeable about business and coaching, and - more than anything - cares about her clients' outcomes.
