Working with Lisa as a business coach has been a dynamic process. At first I was skeptical about coaching because I didn’t think that I needed a witness but after just one session I realized that I did need it in order to grow. Despite what I originally thought, working with Lisa has helped me to get very concrete and measurable results including: 1) Moving from managing the day-to-day in my business to a place of being very intentional about who I wanted to serve and how to build relationships with them, and 2) Getting my own contracts (moved from sub-contractor to project lead) and working much more with the target audience I want to work with. I could not have achieved all of this so quickly without the support of my coach!

Working with Lisa has brought me to some profound breakthroughs around habits that have blocked me for years. I’ve done lots of personal growth work and worked with many coaches, and Lisa never fails to impress me on our calls. Her insights are truly powerful and her support invaluable to taking things to the next level for me, both personally and professionally.

Lisa has infectious enthusiasm which has provided a lot of support for me. What comes out of our sessions is fun and I emerge thinking “I really want to do this – I really want to make headway on this project”. Beyond enthusiasm, Lisa has given me the space to explore what I want to do and the reasons behind that. She has very much honoured me in terms of my desire to work on short-term goals and not let me lose sight of my desire to reclaim the dream which has been important as well. Lisa creates a feeling of “come on, we can do this”. She has been able to help me deal with challenges by setting the context and giving me space to figure out what needs to be done to work through those challenges and keep the big picture in front of me.

I love working with Lisa. I definitely would not be where I am and would not have accomplished what I’ve accomplished without working with her. Just 7 months ago I just had an idea and now I have something more concrete, an early spring launch date. She’s given me the tools that I need to see my goal in a way that’s not as scary as I think it is. I have definitely overcome a lot of fear doing things that I would not have done 6 months ago. She challenges me to shoot higher and go for it and step out of my comfort zone. It’s been incredibly rewarding. There is absolutely no way I could have done this on my own.

Before I began working with Lisa I had a big realization that I was no longer jazzed about my career. I had poured so much time, energy and resources into building a career that I thought would last my lifetime. I had never invested that much in a career move and I suddenly felt very uncomfortable with it. This was a huge wake-up call, like an alarm bell going off. I didn’t know how to deal with it and I couldn’t figure out what was next. Working with Lisa brought momentum to get me down the path I needed to go which I would not have gone down on my own. I needed a task master to help me come up with what I needed to do and follow through with it. I really benefited from being accountable to someone. Exciting and creative things came out of my working together with Lisa such as my writing! I am working on something new and exciting quite different from what I normally focus on to work towards. Before I don’t think I would ever do anything as creative as writing.

Before I began working with Lisa I felt empty and pretty miserable. My life lacked purpose. In addition to not being happy in my personal life I was extremely unhappy and unfulfilled at work. I had been holding onto a business idea for years and didn’t know how to move forward. It felt like I was running on the spot. The accountability made a huge difference because Lisa had a vested interest in my success. She genuinely cared about my progress and drove me to produce results. Up until working with Lisa, I had thought that I had to do everything myself. I used to think that it wouldn’t be my success if I asked other people for help. My biggest realization was that “You just can’t do it by yourself” and that the most successful people are those who reach out for help and utilize help offered to them. Now I see the immense value and necessity in reaching out to other people in many aspects including for emotional support, business ideas and collaboration. On a personal level I have found my relationships have improved and I connect more positively with people. Working with Lisa I have acquired tools to work out problems. I set dates for things both personally and professionally and get them done. Rather than reluctantly waking up and dreading going through the motions of a day, I now can’t wait for it to be tomorrow to get up and achieve things. I haven’t felt like that for 5 or 6 years. I feel really alive.

Lisa has been instrumental in putting a spotlight on my professional career within the broader context of my whole life. After a mere three months of coaching utilizing tools and methodologies as well as deep inquiry, Lisa has helped me to shift my role within my company to one that suits my work style and personality, helped carry us through the tumult of financial distress and staff transitions, all while reducing stress and anxiety considerably. With her help in fostering leadership skills, I am now able to unify my lifelong passion of creating a just and restorative world with a new sense of focus and a whole-being perspective.

Coaching provides a good structure for regular check-ins and to get someone else’s perspective. I can get too close to things and get caught up in my own details and drama about whatever it is that I am working on. To have a personal structure to stop and look at things and have someone to support me to figure it out for myself is a huge benefit. What works for me is focusing on the fact that I already have all the answers to figure this stuff out. It’s not about Lisa fixing that problem for me. At the same time, there have been moments where she steps in and suggests that I look more closely at certain things. The balanced approach Lisa provides really works. I am not looking for the complete hands off nor am I looking for someone to tell me what to do. That’s not sustainable. I, like a lot of people, tend to focus on what I am not doing, or what I am not doing enough of or not doing well enough. Conversely, with Lisa’s coaching and the practices I create with it, help me to focus on what I am actually doing well, what I have done well, what I am great at and how I can do more of that. It’s been helpful to make the distinction between what I am doing well and how I am being well and bringing that forward in a very conscious way. When we began working together it was very useful to look at the important areas of my life and figure out which ones are the three of the eight or nine areas that I am going to focus on for a period of time. Some of the areas in which I’ve seen real tangible shifts have been the ones that we focused on in the first three months – my self-care, my relationship with my Mom and my relationship with my wife – all three of those have seen a significant improvement because I’ve chosen to focus on those areas.
