Executive Coach
Hi, I’m Lauren. I'm an Executive Coach who works with private clients, facilitates women's leadership groups, and teaches workshops about career planning, communication, and self-awareness. My work is informed by 17 years of experience as a manager, mentor, and coach as well as my time as a meditation and yoga instructor. I am inspired to help clients achieve greater professional impact as well as a gentler, kinder relationship to themselves. I hold certifications from the International Coach Federation (ICF), Deep Coaching Institute, and Center for Creative Leadership in their suite of 360 feedback tools.
