Hey there, I’m Lisa
Since 2008, I’ve been studying psychology, career, mindset, spirituality, and intuition. Here’s a bit about my background and how I use it in our sessions together.
(For those wanting the full career rundown, find me on LinkedIn)
And while this may sound just dandy, the truth is that it hasn’t all been rainbows and daisies over here. Below is a bit more about my story to articulate why I am so passionate about helping people get ahead in their careers. Spoiler alert:
I was stuck in a career standstill
-
I take psychological frameworks, leadership development techniques, adult learning principles, and motivational theories and apply them to the workplace. This way we can leverage research and evidence-based practices to help you create the career you want.
-
I’ll teach you mindset tools and confidence-building tactics to help you identify and overcome unhelpful patterns in your life and career. We’ll also use additional techniques, like emotional release work and EFT (emotional freedom technique) so that you have specific strategies to process difficult feelings you may experience.
-
I use a guided process to help you connect to you. We have our emotional-mental body (let’s call it the Ego), and we have our spiritual body (what some call the Self or Soul). As well-intentioned as our Ego is, it can sometimes take over (oopsie!) and cause havoc (eye roll here). So, I use my training to help you tap back into your Inner Voice, that soul wisdom within, which can allow us to make decisions based on true desires.
-
I am trained in communication best practices, and have also trained others in how to communication with influence. I combine this with my psychology background to help you create your own unique positioning and communicate it clearly to key stakeholders. so much of career success comes down to how well we tell our story, so working together, we’ll craft a story with integrity and intention.
there I was, feeling the tingle of shame
I felt the gentle tingle of shame on my cheeks as I listened to my boss's feedback. He shared that they wanted me to be speaking up more. That people felt like they didn't really know me. That I wasn't sharing my opinions or contributing enough. He wasn't wrong to give me this feedback. Deep inside, I knew he was right. I was actually glad to work somewhere where they wanted to hear more from me. I just felt like I had no idea how to be that person.
I was exhausting myself with the self doubt I felt as I completed each task (even seemingly simple ones like sending an update email).
The anxiety I experienced the night before every presentation was so intense that instead of sleeping, I'd be up in panic the entire night.
I had tried to play it cool, plaster on a smile, nod and laugh and make small talk with coworkers.
But hearing this feedback confirmed for me that the gig was up. I'd been caught. I felt like everyone knew that the image I had been feigning was just a lie to mask the insecurity I felt inside. It had worked for a while, but now I was in over my head.
I could no longer pretend to be someone I wasn't to keep my career moving. I had a choice to make.
Option A: Quit my Job
Quit my job to do something easier that may pay less but would hopefully be less stressful. WhileI may be bored and holding myself back, I wouldn’t have to think or work so hard.
Option B: Show Up for Myself
Show up fully, trusting me and leaning in with courageous self confidence. Be challenged but use it to fuel me forward and not stay stuck in a self doubt, anxiety spiral.
If I could have it my way, I'd choose option B, no question. But my dilemma was I just didn't see how that was possible.
So I went to work on making it possible.
This was the greatest gift I could ever give myself. Through my process, my career transformed and my self confidence is greater than ever.
I began showing up powerfully, confidently in my role. To have an opinion, and actually express it. To have my own back even when I fall flat on my face. To know that no matter what, I am here for me. To manage the self doubt, anxiety, and overwhelm. To listen to me and my intuition.
To increase my salary by 15%. And then two years later increase it again by another 25%.
To finally love ME for me. And to get to share that brilliant self with the world. I learned to make decisions based on my own inner wisdom, and to stand by those decisions. I learned to express myself genuinely even when it was hard.
I learned to create an incredible career for myself. Now I help others own their own magnificence and create amazing career results.
Now it’s your turn.
