1:1 Coaching and Mentoring

I help individuals navigating uncertainty and transitions in work and life access a new way of being—  so they can unlock success and find growth.

What to expect:

1:1 Coaching offers a unique opportunity to find success through a deeper level of support and accountability. Engagements can last anywhere from 1 to 6 months, with a framework that looks like this:

  • Kick off: Our initial sessions will be dedicated to holistically assessing your current obstacles and goals. This will plant the seeds for a program that’s aides both in the short term (practical skills and practices) and long term (developmental over time).

  • Co-creation of plan: While we create an initial plan to fit your unique needs and goals, we then adapt the plan as we work together and learn what’s working and what isn’t. Coaching is a process of meeting you where you are at in any moment in time.

  • Ongoing sessions: Integrating neew learnings and insights takes time, and a coach is a partner with you in that process. Coaching aims to bring out your wholeness—mind, heart, and body— as you embrace and embody the aspects of you ready to emerge.

  • Long-term Growth: Finding true growth and change means discovering the unique way in which only you are able to show up in the world. Upon completion, we’ll determine supportive steps to facilitate growth on your unique path going forward.

Some ways I support clients:

Working with Lauren as a coach was the support and guidance necessary for me to step into the next stage of my life with clarity and enthusiasm. Our sessions were a true safe place for me to unpack all the confusion and overwhelm I felt with my business and life— while feeling heard and seen with both empathy and accountability. I was able to find renewed joy and flow on my unique path! The framework and tools we worked on in sessions were just what I needed to get unstuck, grounded and take big leaps forward.
