If you've ever wondered what coaching is and how it can benefit you, read on...
The most successful people hire coaches to help them define, reach, and exceed their goals and potential. Anyone can and does benefit from having a coach. Unlike therapy, coaching does not look backwards to ask questions like "why" - rather, it looks forward, and focuses on solutions not problems. Coaching helps you find success by giving you the clarity of self-knowledge and what really matters to you, a future-focused strategy, and step-by-step guidance to realize this strategy in supportive, non-judgmental, and structured environment.
As a coach, I will:
-
Artfully draw out insights about yourself and your challenges that you couldn't access on your own
-
Be your biggest champion and help you believe in yourself when you doubt your own abilities
-
Work with you to set realistic yet challenging goals that you will be energized by, then break down these goals into non-threatening action steps that guarantee you reach them
-
Foster a safe space where you will gain confidence from taking action
-
Be the mirror you need to reflect back on your learnings and growth, and more broadly, who you are and aspire to be
Lay-offs, job transitions,
navigate a new role
Promotions, career advancement,
get unstuck
Resume/cover letter/Linkedin,
interview prep, offer negotiation
Balance work and family life,
manage stress, rediscover joy

"I've struggled with low confidence and self-doubt for many years in both my work and personal life. When Lucy first invited me to try personal coaching, I figured I'd give it a shot but didn't really expect much. After close to 4 months, I can safely say that this was one of the best life decisions I've made. With Lucy's guidance, I've become a more secure, honest, and outgoing person. The changes was visible to the point that several of my close friends commented on them. Coaching has also helped me take on more leadership roles in my graduate lab at Cornell.
Lucy's greatest strength is her genuine warmth and relentless positivity. Coaching is about self-change; it fundamentally requires dedication from the coachee and there will be trials and failures. Lucy's qualities makes her not just wonderful to work with but also a huge motivating force through these challenges. I would recommend her without reservation."

"Lucy is a phenomenal coach! Her background in consulting, healthcare, neuroscience and HR lends itself to the perfect combination of skills to help people achieve both personal and professional goals. She helped me crystallize my goals by sifting through the noise, honing in on what matters, and outlining a path to achieving tangible results. Within months, I found myself achieving more than I had previously aimed for, And her funny, charismatic style made me enjoy the journey more than the destination!"

"I have known Lucy since undergrad and she has always maintained a commitment to excellence, with an approachable, thoughtful, and friendly personality. When she started her career as a coach, I jumped at the opportunity to become one of her first clients. I really appreciated her ability to efficiently help me think through complex situations and discuss strategies to accomplish long-term goals. Frequently, this required learning new skills in order to become more efficient, and I greatly appreciate her help in this regard. She is a first-rate professional."
