Lauren empowered me to transform my work and personal life.

I started to work with Lauren to establish work boundaries and prioritize requirements for the biggest impact in the organization. I was feeling overstretched and stuck on the hamster wheel. Lauren helped me set up clear focus areas and created catch phrases like "just because I can, doesn't mean I should" to help with prioritizing and delegating. She empowered me to have courageous conversations, leading to better personal and professional performance.

Later, Lauren assisted in my transition to a senior role, navigating increased complexity, decision-making, and leadership responsibilities. Her models effectively unlocked my thinking, and the useful "homework" and documentation crystalized our conversations. Coaching gave me fresh eyes to tackle daily challenges and reflect on root cause issues, leading to better support structures. Lauren unlocked topics I had circled around and gave me the confidence to move forward and take bold steps.

From a professional level, coaching with Lauren helped with my management style and how I interact with my team and other colleagues within the working environment.

From a personal standpoint it assisted with setting boundaries, ensuring I had down time and self-care.

I enjoy the balance between the two as the information is delivered in such a way that it is empowering to implement.

Lauren brings the value of her past learning and experience to the conversation.

She is willing and able to co-create. Flexible in her thinking, she brings the value of her past learning and experience to every conversation. She builds genuine relationships, not just superficial rapport. Her listening skills are exemplary, and her patience is remarkable.

When she disagrees with me, she does so in a way that broadens my perspective, helping me understand and often learn new thoughts or concepts. She is adept at self-management and has a strong sense of self-awareness. This liberates me to be more authentic and has taught me to respect diversity more deeply.

She can laugh at herself and at me, sit with me in sad or reflective moments, and tell me when I'm being unreasonable—all within the same meeting. This versatility is invaluable.
