TESTIMONIALS
"Lisa brings a calm presence, her sense of humor, and a focus on my goals that meant I always looked forward to our sessions together. I walked away with mindset shifts and tangible actions to help me move forward on a leadership challenge that has been a persistent issue for me. My leader and I just had a conversation where she recognized that I am making progress in this area, and I know that Lisa's coaching was a significant factor in moving me forward."
Susan Salomone
Vice President, Business Leadership Group and Organizational Development
"Lisa's coaching style, for me, was down to earth, open, and an embodiment of the ICF code. She was a true partner, always prepared and ready to let me lead based on my needs while gently helping me with accountability and blocks. She has very caring and calm demeanor which put me at ease and allowed me to feel comfortable in opening up from the very first session! I would recommend Lisa to anyone looking for forward movement and growth."
Kandice Klumb
Learning and Development Manager
"When coaching, Lisa doesn't tell you the answers. She doesn't lecture or teach. She asks questions that help you have some real eureka moments. She also has a lovely demeanour."
Kim Van Den Heuven
Senior Engineering Manager
"The time I spent with Lisa was incredibly worthwhile....even more successful than I thought it would be! I'm still me, only better! Our work together helped me define my own style of leadership, and start honing my skills and abilities as a leader. The key takeaways for me have been learning to not rush, to be deliberate and to create and live by my own set of guiding principles. I also learned about the faulty story I sometimes tell myself and am able to move forward and not get stuck when I notice it. My commitment to a daily practice of my new skills has empowered me to share with others what I've learned, particularly about finding their own Inner Ally!"

"Lisa’s natural ability to uncover self doubting and limiting beliefs allows leaders to connect with their “why” and to empower aspirations in a clearer and more foundational mindset. Her focus on aligning your personal development goals with a leadership mindset comes from a sincere place where she has a thirst for you to reach your greatest potential. She is an active listener and picks up on underlying messages and unpacks it so that you can learn to frame your goal or beliefs differently so your confidence is reenergized and action can be taken within a couple of sessions. Her enthusiasm and passion for refining and accelerating your leadership journey is extraordinary and I would strongly recommend her coaching."
Anna Stavrakos
Regional Manager, Strategy and Innovation
"When I heard about Lisa's group coaching program, it was right away appealing to me because Lisa was leading it and the timing was just right. We all recognize that the current unprecedented times bring a lot of challenges and uncertainties and call for resilience and flexibility. As people leaders, we need to be present both physically and mentally to support our teams and help them go through this difficult period. Lisa’s coaching program encouraged me to do some self-reflection and taught me some self-coaching techniques to overcome my own concerns and become a better leader. Thank you Lisa!"
Nicole Gendron
Senior Manager, Support Services
"I am thrilled with my decision to work with Lisa. Our time together has been invaluable in helping me work towards achieving my goals. I now book coaching sessions as though they are meetings for a client. I’m the client in this case and I don’t feel guilty for taking the meeting."
Karen Merrifield

"Working one-on-one with you is one of the best investments I’ve made in myself. I wasn’t kidding when I said that it was serendipitous that we met."

Lynne Ivanovich
HR Professional (Coaching Client)
"I had the absolute pleasure of hearing Lisa speak at an event held by Avanti Women for International Women’s Day. From the very beginning she shared her journey from the corporate world to the entrepreneurial world with honesty and openness. What I like the most about Lisa is her reachability - she has always been available to me via various social media platforms to bounce ideas off of. She is very encouraging and uplifting in all of her messages."
Florence Casuga
Retail Manager (Conference Attendee)
"One thing is for sure, I now understand the value of working with a coach to help keep things moving in the right direction. If I hadn’t started working with Lisa, I’d probably still be feeling as stuck today as I did 6 months ago."
Scott
(Coaching Client)
"Lisa has been a tremendous help for me. I came in with a completely different expectation for what having a coach would be like. One thing that I really appreciated was the initial discussion around what my expectations are and what exactly Lisa could help me with. We discussed the 3 pillars of coaching, Awareness, Choices and Trust in Self. I feel that she has helped me in each of these areas. I have gained a new awareness and I am able to have more confidence in the choices I make and trust that they are working for me. Thank you Lisa."

"Lisa helps me be accountable to myself and my goals. She coaches from her head and her heart. As such she is a compassionate listener who takes the thoughts and feelings of her clients and builds them into action plans. She is also the type of coach who challenges her clients to reflect on their commitments. I have grown as a person and a professional with the support of her coaching expertise."
Kimberley A.
(Coaching Client)
"Lisa is able to create an environment where people feel safe and comfortable. The sharing that resulted within the group opened up many insights for all of us as a result. I like that Lisa keeps probing with her questions, helping me be accountable, which is important when moving from just talking to taking action."
