How can I help

"

Lisa unlocked a new-found confidence and self-belief that I can tackle new leadership roles and also become a role model for others. When I was working with Lisa I held a junior leadership position, now I have been promoted to a senior leadership role – I have to thank Lisa for helping me make that step up.

Lisa provided very valuable coaching to me when I needed to make a critical decision in my career. The coaching was intense, well-structured and holistic. I’d definitely take the opportunity to use Lisa as a coach if you are looking to make some critical decisions about your future.

My sessions with Lisa led to life-changing behaviour. In five weeks I went from frustrated and angry to calm and contented, and enjoying my job more fully than I have done for many years. Being happy at work takes far less energy than constantly railing against real or imagined ills. I recommend others who are struggling to take the time to work with Lisa.

Lisa is an intelligent and deeply empathetic coach. She intuitively sees the heart of the problem for ambitious scientists having to deal with the restraints of working in a science institute driven by profit. Just having someone who is on your side and can see your struggles and point out that there are other options when one can feel trapped is a huge help.

Lisa has an encouraging and engaging style and expertly guided the conversation to quickly focus on the heart of the matter. The experience was a real confidence boost and I came away feeling empowered to be a stronger leader.

Coaching with Lisa from is like re-calibrating the direction of your inner compass – the discoveries have been delightful, surprising and enlivening.

Lisa really made me think about what it was I wanted, in a way that I’d never thought of before. I gained clarity on what things actually mattered to my true self and she has given me tools in order to work toward them, especially with my science career.
LauraScientist
Lisa has been truly a fantastic help to me to navigate a challenging time in my life. What I really appreciated is Lisa’s open, non-judgmental style. She is easy to talk with and she really sought to understand my situation and struggles. I would absolutely recommend Lisa for life coaching without hesitation.
AnonymousMedical Doctor
Lisa challenged me to understand myself better, what is important for me, and how to face the challenges I faced. If you have tried counselling and feel that it does not work for you and you need someone to provide more guidance and coaching, I would definitely recommend Lisa.
NikenScientist
Lisa was brought in to help our science department adapt to a change of building and a new way of working. She was able to quickly win the trust of the team, delve into the underlying issues that were causing anxiety and help the team see the positives about the change. I would absolutely recommend Lisa’s services to others in the same boat!
Lucy BakerManager Environmental Sciences, Greater Wellington Regional Council
Lisa’s approach to coaching considers the values that drive you in your personal and work life, which is great because your values drive how you behave and respond to different challenges. I would 100% recommend getting some coaching from Lisa as she understands the challenges facing scientists.
