Career & Leadership

Coaching with Soul

There are 3 steps to a Career Makeover

1) Define what you want.

Is it a promotion? A raise? A new leadership title? Additional responsibilities? More freedom and balance? Whatever it is, it’s time to let yourself in on the secret of what it is you’re after. If this question feels ominous - not to fear. I’ve got a step-by-step process that’s designed to create career clarity for you.

2) Position yourself to get it.

Okay, planning phase over. Now that you’re owning what you want, it’s time to get visible and put yourself in the spotlight (I know, I know, this isn’t always comfortable to do). Don’t worry - I’ll help you do this with the style and class that get’s you feelin’ good.

Oooh la la, you’re on your way to your career dreams!

3) Take action and don’t stop.

This isn’t about burning yourself out. It’s about actively showing up for yourself so that when opportunity comes a knockin’ you’re there ready to greet it. You’ll clarify for yourself the specific actions to take. Because while we can’t predict when the openning will come, we can ensure you’re ready for it. So #seizetheday baby, because your career is yours for the taking.

By following these steps…

Clients have transformed their careers.

Andrea received back to back raises and a promotion to senior leadership, all while building a profitable business of her own (oh - and did I mention she has 2 kids? Way to work it, mama!)

Mario was promoted to management just 6 months on the job, was given a raise, and gained 3 new paying clients in his freelance company at the same time.

Andy, even with a newborn at home, got visible and received a senior promotion out of over 100 other candidates, all while landing a large contract gig for himself and gaining a freelance writing opportunity.

These are just some of the many transformations. Ready to have your own?

Meet your Coach, Lisa Philyaw (she/her), M.S. Psychology

Hi, I’m Lisa. I use psychological frameworks that have been grounded in science, psychology, and spirituality. I have a Master’s in Psychology and am a Certified Life Coach.

I’ve coached over 1,000 hours and guided hundreds of individuals as they navigate their careers, businesses, relationships, and wellbeing.

And throughout all these sessions during the past five years, I’ve noticed a common thread.

A common thread of being stuck and of feeling discontent.

And what I’ve seen is how often we focus on the wrong thing that we believe is supposed to be the “right” thing in order to be satisfied.

And we lose out on true satisfaction. True connection. True contribution. True expansion.

I noticed this first with myself. And then, saw the same pattern showing up in my clients.

And while we cannot evolve beyond being human, we can change how we approach ourselves.

Instead of condemning the part of us that wants more, let’s use it to our advantage.

To create a life we love. The one our True Self is here for. The way of being we desperately crave but have cut ourselves off from.

This is what I help people with. Combining psychology with spirituality, a systems focus with individuality, and cognition with intuition, I help my clients reconnect to themselves so they can create more of what they really want.

Contentment comes not from chasing, but from embracing. Embracing who we are and the impact we want to make. Peace is not found in coaching the mind, but in embodying the spirit. And in using the mind in congruence with our inner wisdom. This is how we love our lives - and ourselves in the process.

This is what I help my clients do. And you’re invited to join me.
