Client Outcomes

I highly, highly recommend Lisa, especially to anyone experiencing a career transition. She is grounded, straight forward, flexible and kind. She makes sure she approaches the full person and highlights the skills and unique characteristics that we often overlook because we don't think it applies to our 'workself'. This holistic approach generates new avenues of opportunity that she helps you examine and feel encouraged to step into.

On top of this, her flexibility and customization is incredible, she really does want her clients to succeed in their authentic expression and will figure out what tool is her giant toolbox is best for them to develop that authentic expression at that moment. She easily switches between situational coaching and long term vision creation which makes working with her a kind of one-stop-shop when you're reassessing where you are and want to go. I really enjoyed working with her and appreciated her presence in my life, it was an incredible value-add and helped me land a job I love where I'm working with a team I admire and leading projects I am passionate about. Thank you Lisa. To anyone thinking of working with her - do it, it's so worth it.

"I hired Lisa to help me get super clear on how I can bring my talents, strengths and expertise and move forward in my career. Through our work together she has helped me tremendously to be laser focused and move forward in my research and clarity.  Lisa not only provides hands-on constructive tools to help you get focused on your career path, but does it with compassion and a lot of insights into different industries and functions. These are essential qualities to a coach. She will motivate you to believe in yourself and take the steps required to move you further along your goals. If you are ready to transition - hire Lisa and she will be your guide."

"Lisa has helped me become a better version of myself at work; in addition to that I applied the insights I gained in my personal life as well...

We have never had a session in which I didn't discover something new about myself and found a new path towards something I want. " A.V., Banking Professional, GTA

"Lisa's careful listening, insightful questions and orientation towards action are a perfect combination and make her an outstanding coach."

 1.  International marketing professional got encouragement, tools...and the job

"Lisa helped me to find a path in a very particular moment of my life, in a career change process after completing an Executive MBA and a Post MBA; and after moving from Montreal to Toronto and then to Brazil.

Lisa worked with me in order to be totally focused on my objective... She mentored me to develop my personal brand…With her advice I managed to concentrate my efforts on career options with a better fit with profile and life objectives. Lisa drove me to identify prospects and to highlight my competitive advantage points and to match them with new opportunities in the Brazil-Canada business.

I developed my network within companies involved in bilateral trade... Lisa supported me during all this process and I now succeed as a Marketing & Brazil-Canada Business Development Manager in a consultancy firm.

I truly recommend her work.  Lisa is a coach you can trust. She definitely helped me to be more aware about my attributes and aspects I could improve; and to be more confident. Lisa opened my eyes to what is important to me in my life and guided me to get there."

 - R. Portugal, Marketing

2.  Experienced MBA, built new network and confidence for interviews

"...Lisa was the deciding factor for me in coming to Schulich. 

I knew Lisa would help me make the career transition I was looking for (from interior design to business)...Throughout the process I have learned more about who I am, where my skills and passions lie, and where I want to be.

The experience has been priceless. I have been able to have intelligent conversations with industry leaders about my career vision, I have...built a network of professionals who have given me informational interviews in the direction of potential opportunities. Because I have a clear vision it has been much easier for me to have these conversations and share my goals with others.

…Lisa has helped me craft and articulate my transferable skills in such a way that I was able to obtain the job interview."

 - D. Siebenaler, Healthcare

3.  Found self-awareness, career direction - and how to sell it

"My first assignment was really effective in starting me on the right path. You helped me refine... by asking the right questions. This filtering really helped me focus...

The subsequent assignments and discussions we had really helped me gain that clarity. I always enjoyed the questions you asked as they have stirred me in the right direction (to) know myself, my values, my vision and my purpose of life.

By the end I was clear on which kind of organization I wanted to work for...and how to sell that message..."

 - K. Chadaram,  from IT to CPG Marketing

"Working with Lisa was one of the best decisions I made for my career. Lisa's guidance helped me re-discover my values and strengths as well as increased my confidence when it came to communicating my skills to potential employers.  She helped me find time for getting more of what I want from my work/life and got me excited about my brand, which helped me immensely in my new job. I was held accountable to my goals and it was amazing to see such a large amount of growth and development that was happening during the coaching period. I have learned so much and I am grateful for Lisa's support.

- Amanda K, Banking

4.  Filtered out the noise (family expectations, today's culture of 'success') and aimed to focus on fit

"Before we spoke, I was applying for everything that looked remotely do-able and applicable to my MBA, which was a mistake.  Rather than being excited about the future, I was scared of failure. I only wish I had spoken with you sooner, to find out more about myself and where I fit in. ...I also was very happy to have you guide me into what was actually important." 

 - K. Russell, Arts & Media

5.  Improved Effectiveness at Work

"Lisa is a very effective Coach.  Her approach will challenge you to reflect on how you work and live with a focus on identifying crucial outputs, how to SMARTLY deliver them and become a more impactful situational leader.  I highly recommend Coach Lisa to anyone looking to elevate their professional and personal effectiveness."

 - R. Campbell, Public Sector

6.   Confidence Re-built

"I've always believed that the best coaches don't give you the answers; they somehow help us realize that the answers are there within us.  I am thankful to Lisa for helping me to remember that!"
