  • Working with Lara has been transformational. She has the ability to understand complex situations and political dynamics and give insightful and practical guidance. Even the most challenging issues after a session with Lara I walked away with a clear understanding of how to best resolve. She cultivates strategic thinking allowing you to see several moves ahead in your career giving you the confidence to control your progression.

  • Coaching was a completely new experience for me and, from the moment we began, Lara put me at ease. It can be difficult to articulate the obstacles we face in our work lives, and doing so can feel like vulnerability. However, Lara's professional, compassionate, and validating approach quickly dispelled these fears. Through a year of sessions, I’ve become a more effective communicator, a more confident decision-maker, and, perhaps most importantly, a much stronger manager and leader. I wholeheartedly recommend Lara’s coaching to anyone looking to grow personally and professionally

  • Everything has changed since working with Lara. While I did receive a major promotion and compensation increase, her true impact lies in helping me become a more courageous, astute, and influential leader. That’s more valuable to me than any promotion.

  • Being coached by Lara is like working with an old friend. Fortunately one who happens to be an expert in psychology and high performance habits. Lara knows exactly what to say (often what not to say too) to help me gain the perspective I need to take action. And it's all about the action with Lara.
