Women leaders are often overworked and overlooked.

As a Christian life coach with decades of experience in leadership, I work with motivated women to identify tiny tweaks to simplify their lives and design sustainable plans that can improve their sense of well-being personally and professionally. Together, we will connect the dots and design a path forward.

Are you exhausted from the daily hustle and stuck in your own thoughts?

Need a safe place to exhale and hear yourself think?

With self-compassion and support from a trained thinking partner, you will design a path forward.

Testimonials
Halina, Kitchen and Bath designer, Bourbonnais

“Lisa, I found your input very helpful and deeply appreciated your tenacity in not making suggestions that would solve the problem I brought to the discussion; rather you found pathways to my unlocking my own insight and creativity to find those solutions. And then you showed me how I had done it on my own.”

Chasity, Coach, Austin

“Lisa has such a fun and infectious energy, I always walk away from our coaching sessions feeling good and having laughed a lot, even when what we’ve been exploring is pretty deep.

I especially love the way Lisa challenges me to do the thing, right there in our session… This keeps me from assuring her that I’ll do it later, and often forces me to really look inward for the answers that are right there inside me, I’ve just never taken the time to really find them. Lisa gives me permission to take that time, and she’s right there with me with her warm and encouraging presence.”

Leah, Gym and Wellness Owner, Minneapolis

“Lisa is incredibly easy to talk to. She’s an excellent listener and is very intuitive. She’ll ask the hard questions and challenge you to get closer to your dream.”

Karina, Finance, Los Angeles

“I tell everyone they need a Lisa in their life. Lisa entered my life during my transition back home to Los Angeles where I was entering a new job, a new church and moving back in with my family. Lisa played an integral role in my leadership development and confidence...”

Lynne, Executive Recruiter, Houston

“When presented with the idea of participating in life coaching, I was open to the idea...but vague about the process and outcome. The sessions motivated me to examine many aspects of life, family, work and play. In addition to discovering reasons for changes, surprising solutions emerged!”

I work with women to identify resources within themselves to live creatively and confidently.

In January 2021, I began coach training and have completed over 85 hours of training with the Institute for Life Coaching Training. I am a member of the International Coaching Federation and the Institute of Coaching McLean (an Affiliate of Harvard Medical School).

Over the decades, I have developed and implemented programs for women in various stages of life. In the early 90s, I established a local Mothers of Preschoolers group and later served as a Counsel Coordinator for MOPs International, overseeing 13 diverse groups. I served as a Mentor for a Southside Chicago group of women. One program I am particularly proud of is Metamorphosis, which focuses on communication and relationship-building between ten-year-old girls and their mothers. I have worked for nonprofit and for-profit community organizations, the regional office of education, and the local church.

As a modern nomad, I have moved 18 times and lived in some great cities. I enjoy creating beautiful and comfortable homes in unique spaces. My adventures taught me that home isn't just a physical place. I can create a home anywhere within myself and with God. Today, I live in Phoenix, Arizona, with my partner, lover, and friend. We have been married since August 2, 1996, and we have two amazing daughters.

WHAT IS COACHING, AND WHAT IT IS NOT

Coaching is based on personal growth and client-initiated change. It is a relationship between equals with the future in mind. We focus on your current reality and future planning, moving from good to better.

Therefore, coaching is a co-creative partnership that inspires you to maximize your potential. Furthermore, it is the belief that you are whole, competent, creative, and resourceful with unique strengths, gifts, and talents. You are the expert in your life that initiates the change.

Coaching is NOT based on the past. It is not therapy, consulting, or mentoring.
