Who I love working with

Most of my clients are 30 something professionals who are feeling frustrated and stuck in their career. I help them in 3 ways:

1. Career planning – how to create a career that excites them including their purpose and life outside of work
2. At work – I help them to develop their Leadership skills and mindset, to find more joy at work and to step into their greatness
3. Life Coaching – I love to coach my clients through their millennial life problems and questions

If this resonates with you, I would love to speak with you.

My coaching system

My coaching system has 3 steps:

Goals

Awareness

Action

I adapt this system to each client based on their specific goals and their pace. Fundamental to this tailored coaching relationship is confidentiality, acknowledgement, space for thought and emotion, challenge, playfulness, and an essence of fun

My personal coaching journey

My life changed in 2018 when I committed to two empowering personal development actions; firstly, I signed up to become a yoga teacher and secondly, I started to work with career coaches. Prior to that I had spent a decade in a successful corporate career as a Chartered Accountant in a wide range of roles both at Big 4 Accountancy and in the retail industry. Despite my fortunate career and privilege, I never experienced my true sense of belonging, my reason to get up every day and to look forward to the day ahead. My personal experience of coaching has opened so many doors and perspectives for me. By focusing on the questions

• ‘Who am I?’
• ‘What do I enjoy?’
• ‘What do I value?’
• ‘What is my purpose?’

and powerfully evolving my mindset and confidence, it has allowed me to break from the mould of my previous career path both boldly and openly. I have followed my dharma into a career of serving others through coaching! Having spent over a decade in the Corporate Finance sphere where deadlines and pressure to excel are demanding, I understand my client’s needs including a mix of empathy, flexibility, boundaries and accountability

Pricing and session structure

All coaching relationships start with a free, no obligation 45 minutes conversation to see if we are a match to work with each other. Nobody leaves the chat empty handed as I want to make sure you have a way to move forward by either us working together or by pointing you in the right direction.

If we agree to work together, we will work together for a minimum of 6 months which includes:

• 8 x 60 minute sessions generally 3-4 weeks apart
• tools, tips, and tricks tailored to the coachee’s journey
• notes following each session
• check-in calls in between sessions to keep you on track
• support via email and phone if needed

The coaching journey is unique, and I ask you to commit to sessions upfront so that you have the time and space to build your Awareness, take Action and make real progress towards your Goals. We will review your progress as you go and identify a way for you to continue your growth at the end of the 6 month period. The package is invoiced upfront and payment plans are available

Testimonials from some of my wonderful and inspiring clients

“Lauren has been my coach on and off for +18 months. Our sessions have helped me to tackle challenges in both my career and personal life, providing me with tools which have enabled me to build confidence and self-belief. Lauren will adapt each session depending on the focus to help me gain a new perspective on a situation or belief and will follow up with a comprehensive summary of our discussions, which again enables me to reflect. Lauren has really changed my opinion of coaching and I would recommend her to anyone who wants to make positive change to their life.”

“Lauren has been my life coach over half a year and has made an incredible impact. She has guided me and shared tools to find my passion and career I love. Moreover, she has guided me through application processes and helped me to find my strengths. She helped me to find confidence in me and empowered me which helped me to take the next big step in life. Lauren is truly an exceptional coach, and I cannot wait to see what the future holds working with her.”

“Lauren would be my first recommendation for Coaching if you feel ‘stuck’ with life’s problems. She has helped guide me through a challenging period, where I’ve sought ‘clarity’ in many areas of my work & personal life. Each session has been tailored in a different way to the last, to help stretch my mindset and realise this doesn’t have to stop at journaling, but in other forms i.e gentle exercise, walking, yoga etc. to help ‘lift the fog’ and process. I also feel much more able to look at the issues I am having from different perspectives, using the resources we have worked on, such as affirmations and self-belief tools, to tackle them more rationally. Lauren’s approach is friendly and flexible, giving me the time and space to think and breathe, which has been very beneficial to me and my wellbeing.”
