Transforming your organization starts with transforming your mind.
Real change doesn't happen by pushing from the outside; it’s about what happens when something inside you catches fire, sparking a new vision for your future, your team, and your organization. Without that inner flame, leaders are left struggling with willpower and intellect alone—resulting in tiny tweaks and a whole lot of frustration. Transformational change? It demands a whole new game plan—one that kicks off with your own personal journey.

Leadership Studio
Mid-level leaders are critical to multiplying talent and financial performance. Top performers at this level are instrumental in building strong team relationships, translating strategic goals into action, attracting top talent and developing leaders at scale.
The problem is, this group of leaders are under-resourced, under-developed and the last to receive coaching support.
Senior leaders, you have a huge opportunity to unleash a surge of talent and impact with this group of leaders.
This unique solution, in collaboration with senior leaders and their mid-level reports (Directors and VP’s) allows Lauren to work directly within the organizational layers, accelerating impact and alignment. In parallel, Lauren is coaching senior leaders, to identify themes to support a targeted approach for growth, narrowing gaps in next-level leadership capabilities.
With our targeted approach, we empower mid-level leaders to excel in their roles, reinvigorate their purpose and become a force multiplier of success for the organization.
Growing and developing our talent is one of my key responsibilities and is essential to success; both for the organization and my personal values. Lauren is a vital and instrumental part of this process. In addition, I have personally benefited from working with Lauren as a coach. Recognizing my own growth and progress from working with Lauren, I started offering the opportunity to my direct reports.

Lauren has a unique skill set and expertise that I haven’t found anywhere else. Using her is a force multiplier for our business.

What Clients Are Saying
Lauren is the quintessential coach, thought partner, and engineer of professional transitions. Recently, I made a bold decision to apply for a senior level leadership position in a new city and in a field that I had no experience with. Lauren helped me research, prepare, and navigate the hiring process with confidence and professionalism. Not only did I get the job, but I also negotiated the top end salary and benefits. Lauren was essential in making this dream a reality by helping me apply strategy to the process and articulate my strengths in a way that left a resounding impact on my employer.
Richard C., Vice President for Institutional Advancement
I cannot articulate how monumental your support, wisdom and advice has been for me. Lauren helped me try out solutions I had not been able to see myself, to successfully remove every single roadblock I was having in 2023. It was like she continuously gave me a bridge where there was a huge canyon gap 1000 ft down to easily and safely make it to the other side. She single handedly demonstrated to me what it feels like to feel genuinely validated by another person. I don't think I ever had that experience in the same beautiful way she helped me experience. Lauren’s generosity and kindness and support means the world to me and I'm forever grateful to her for helping me make monumental leaps.
I really have needed a champion most of all (I have accomplished some pretty big things) and she honored the things I was proud of. Lauren helped me feel energized in celebrating. She’s an exceptional executive coach - a gift to the world.
Wendy P., Operations Executive
Where do I even start? Lauren has been a trusted confidante and guide that I didn’t know I needed.
Her outside perspective has been invaluable, offering insights and strategies that have not only helped me navigate challenges but also encouraged me to think differently about how I approach situations. She also brings levity along the way, which I really appreciate.
What sets Lauren apart is her remarkable ability to offer fresh perspectives. With her background as an executive in HR and her expertise in creating exceptional culture, she brings a perspective that's like a breath of fresh air. Her support is just in time—always on point and delivered with genuine warmth. Additionally, as an HR executive, I’ve worked with executive coaches in the past who weren’t as able to fully grasp the unique challenges that arise in HR and weren’t as skilled or able to offer the perspectives that Lauren has been able to offer.
As a sounding board, Lauren has provided real-time feedback and unwavering support as I navigate through challenges and setbacks. Her unique ability to listen, ask questions, and help me take action, has been instrumental in my personal and professional growth.
Lauren was able to build quick rapport and earn the trust of our senior leaders, creating momentum and alignment in the midst of significant organizational change. Whenever her name is mentioned among our team, it’s with great appreciation of how she’s been able to help everyone who works with her.
Whether it's building high-performing teams, shaping organizational culture, or implementing systems to support alignment, Lauren has been there every step of the way, to offer expert guidance and practical solutions.
If you're ready to elevate your leadership and enjoy the journey, do yourself a favor and get in touch with her. Trust me, it'll be one of the most rewarding decisions you ever make!
