I was at a point in life when I wanted to make some changes in my professional image and improve my communication style so that I could keep current and move forward in a highly competitive job market. Lauren has the wonderful skill of honing in quickly on what is really holding you back from making changes and helping you focus on bringing those issues to the forefront. For me it was like a great a-ha moment. Lauren led me, with compassion and focus, to want to make the changes that really needed to be made. She has a contagious sense of positivity and life enthusiasm that fuels you to want to take action. I highly recommend Lauren to those seeking a coach for life and career direction. She will help you uncover issues, zero in on what is really important to you, and lead you to start making changes and taking steps towards the successful path you want to be on.

Lauren is the secret sauce to getting your business and life on track! I have had the pleasure of working with her one on one, and she has brought about deep insight and actionable plans for my life and my business. Additionally, Lauren's emotional intelligence, genuine care & curiosity and understanding of the business world, especially the NYC real estate industry, is truly impressive. I have worked with other coaches before and found the experience to be disappointing and underwhelming; I felt like I wasn't a top priority. This is the antithesis of working with Lauren. She is highly engaging and can pinpoint any "Gremlins" that are somehow eluding you. This may come off a bit cheesy
. But she really knows how to leverage love and empathy -- something I find quite lacking in New York City and even the country. I recommend her highly and without hesitation to anyone who wants to put the time and effort in to supercharge his/her personal and business life! She is a true advocate; her strategies will change your business and your life.

Lauren is a great coach. She is an excellent listener and responsive to my evolving ideas of what I'd like to focus on in coaching. After just a few sessions I've already made some important changes that I feel good about and will give me the success and momentum to work on new goals.

Thanks, Tracy. Would you mind if I posted this on my website as well? Can I use your full name? What should I say for a profession?

Lauren helped me to realize that which I had known all along, but could not express to myself.
After taking the Energy Leadership Assessment and through a thorough and informed debrief with Lauren I was able to garner a true understanding of the ways in which I handle stress, frustration and interactions with others. The assessment and the results it yielded was the perfect place to begin my journey towards formulating a plan for my immediate future.
Through only four sessions I was able to formulate a plan for self-improvement that was accessible and manageable. I am excited to pursue new directions that are the result I what I truly want and will achieve in my career and personal growth.
It is without reservation that I recommend Lauren to anyone who feels trapped and lost in a dead-end career situation.
