I owe my coach a great deal of gratitude. She encouraged me to explore options I otherwise wouldn’t have had the confidence to. She helped me combat the fears that interfered with my professional goals & future success. Without my work with her, I most certainly would have been stuck in self-doubt and been caught in a cycle of indecision.
I just wanted to call on this Thanksgiving and tell you how grateful we are for the work you’ve done with our son (we’ll call him Josh). He is a completely new person. He has overcome his addiction, has greater clarity about his future and received straight ‘A’s this semester for the first time since starting his college career. His self esteem is as high as it’s ever been. It is truly amazing the difference in him since he started his work with you. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Hi Lauren,
Thank you so much for working with me throughout the past couple of months. I have grown as a person and have a new outlook on life because of you.
When I first started working with Lauren: I had a lot of self-doubts and thought of myself in a negative way. I thought because my sales career didn't work out and because I had no idea what I wanted to do in a career path that I was a failure to myself and my family. It took a lot of confidence-building exercises and reaffirming my mind that the Hijacker can really get the best of you sometimes. In my case I thought my Hijacker was my conscience and that every negative thought I had was on me to handle on my own. Long story short I had no idea what I wanted to do and felt
Where I am today as a result of our work together is…
I am a more confident person in a new journey in the world of Media. Media is something I had always found interesting, but never applied to any positions because of fear of rejection. Today I am someone who asks for a favor and follows up on an email even though that used to be scary for me. I now look back at how much I hated sales and realize that any new challenge is good for me to grow as a person and I should be fortunate I made this decision to switch careers while I was young.
What was so helpful was…
Having Lauren step in and be my shamen throughout the process. When I would get rejected from jobs and feel like the world was crashing down on me Lauren always answered my texts or emails no matter what time it was. I had a real support system and someone who cared a lot about my well being. Not to mention her fresh ideas to keep me on top of my game.
What I believe made her coaching process effective was…
Being as honest as possible with her at all times.
If there was one thing I feel everyone should know when trying to decide whether to hire Lauren to help them determine their path is…
This process takes time. There will be rejection and you will learn how to deal with it. Overall, just trust her and she will be the shaman to take you to where you need to be.
Who I feel would benefit the most from working with her is…
Not sure at this time but if i think of anyone Lauren is my first call.
Anything else you’d like to express:
I really enjoyed my experience and act and feel like a different person every day. I just started a new job and am eager to get my new career off to a great start!
When I started working with Lauren I was considering a major change in my career. It was incredibly scary to think about leaving the safety net of my corporate job and moving away from the city with friends and family nearby. However, as a result of working with Lauren, I now find myself in a completely new city, ready to start graduate school in a field I discovered my passion for. Lauren held me accountable through this process and I don’t know if I would be here without her. Lauren makes me feel understood with no judgement. She allows me to dictate her involvement and I never feel like she is forcing her opinion on me, rather she asks questions that challenge me and help me better understand myself and what I want out of my life. She has a calm energy about her that makes me feel comfortable, but also has a way of pushing me to step outside my comfort zone at the same time. I think anyone my age (mid 20’s) seeking clarity or looking to take their life to the next level would benefit from working with Lauren because she is genuine and relatable. I have never finished a conversation with her without feeling like I had grown in some way. I believe anyone else who works with her would have a rewarding experience as well.
When I first started working with Lauren…
I was paralyzed by indecision. I was a college athlete who was injured and unable to perform. I was a straight A, honor’s student who had barely made good enough grades to stay in school. I had just got dumped by my first boyfriend. And after 4 years of college, I still had no idea what I wanted to do with my life.
Where I am today as a result of our work together is…
Today, I am sitting in the airport about to embark on a month-long adventure in Europe. Thanks to Lauren, I will be coming home to a re - designed life. Lauren’s coaching helped me get a 4.0 my last semester of college, and get into the MBA graduate program of my dreams. It also helped me make a comeback as an athlete, which resulted in a scholarship that will pay for grad school. And as for what I want to do - I’m in the beginning stages of starting my own business.
I have never felt so happy and fulfilled in my young adult life.
What was so helpful was…
After listening to my pity party, Lauren set me on a course of action. She had me read books and do homework to help shift my perspective and heighten my awareness. I realized the one thing all my problems had in common was… ME! Lauren showed me that everything revolved around my choices, and that it was time to start making conscious decisions. It was time to start living a “life by design.” Once I decided what I wanted my life to look like, I was able to take action to achieve it. The days of confused limbo were over.
What I believe made her coaching process effective was…
Lauren listened and assigned exercises that helped me realize what was important to me. Then she helped me achieve it. This type of coaching was so effective because she held me accountable. After working with Lauren, I better understood how and why I make decisions. Lauren helped me become the type of person that could achieve my goals.
If there was one thing I feel everyone should know when trying to decide whether to hire Lauren to help them determine their path is…
Lauren is not going to judge or dwell on your past mistakes. She is going to help you learn from them and teach you how to make decisions that reflect your goals. In a once a week, thirty - minute phone call I have laughed, cried, and grown up. If you let her, Lauren will do everything she can to help you become the person you only dreamed you could be. I wish everyone had access to her wit, wisdom, and earnest intuition. Although we’ve never met, Lauren feels like one of my closest friends (except she gives a lot better advice!).
Who I feel would benefit the most from working with her is…
20-30 year olds. Lauren specializes in helping people learn to “live a life by design.” As a recent college graduate, I found Lauren’s advice and the resulting sense of direction invaluable. She helped me create a life with purpose and meaning. Figuring out what is important to me saved me from living a stagnant, unfulfilled life. I would highly recommend you take the opportunity to learn from Lauren. She will help you live the life you imagine, at any age.
