Featured Testimonial 

"Lauren was a steady guide as I re-entered the workforce after time away, helping me through interviews, job transitions, and even a complete career change. Thanks to her expertise, I not only earned promotions (more than tripling my salary since starting our work together), but also became a high performer and respected colleague in my organization. She was always willing to help, from big-picture career strategy to the smallest details of my job."

— Glen G., Product Manager

How We Can Work Together

Every client is different, so every engagement is built around what you actually need, not a one-size-fits-all program.

Whether you’re an individual navigating your career or a small business owner trying to figure out your next move, there’s an option for you here.

Mentoring

Mentoring is short-term, focused, and practical. It’s built around whatever's going on for you right now: a tricky workplace situation, a new role you're trying to adjust to, a challenge you're not sure how to handle.

With the mentoring option, there is no long-term commitment required. It’s just practical guidance and advice you can put to use immediately.

Best for: Professionals facing a specific and/or immediate challenge who need experienced guidance and a sounding board.

Available as a single 60-minute session or a focused 4-week plan.

Sometimes you just need someone who’s been there.

Coaching

Designed for deeper, ongoing support and long-term change.

Coaching is for the professional who knows they're capable of more, but maybe needs some additional structure, accountability, or a thought partner to help them get there.

Whether you're navigating a career change, growing into a leadership role, exploring your options, or just trying to build a career you really want, coaching provides the framework and support to make it happen.

Best for: Students, early-career professionals, experienced professionals in transition, and emerging leaders.

Available in two plans — a 4-week simplified journey or an 8-week deep-dive.

Consulting

Running a small business is rewarding. It's also a lot of work.

Consulting is for the small business owners who are ready to take a look at where they are, where they want to go, and what it's going to take to close that gap.

Whether you need to refine your sales process, tighten up operations, develop your team, or strengthen leadership across the organization, we can work towards your goals using a process built around your business.

Best for: Small business owners ready to grow and build.

Structured as a single, comprehensive 90-day engagement.

How I Work

(and why it matters)

The coaching and consulting spaces have a bit of a reputation problem. There are a lot people out there charging a lot of money with not a lot to show for it.

My approach is built on servant leadership, which means one thing above all else: my success is measured by yours.

That philosophy shows up in the way I run every engagement.

I’ll tell you what you need to hear, not just what you want to hear.

Honest feedback is a kindness, not a criticism.

Everything is tailored to you and your needs.

No pre-planned solutions. I'm here to listen, ask questions, and help you build something that works for you.

I believe in transparency.

Which is why you’ll find my pricing listed on this site. Your time is valuable, and so is your trust.

I meet you where you are.

There is no judgment here, only the desire to improve and move forward.

About Me

Hi, I'm Lauren, and I'm so glad you found your way here.

I've spent the past 20+ years bringing people and business goals together to support growth. My career has taken me through small and mid-sized law firms, into Fortune 500 companies including Cisco Systems, Johnson & Johnson, and PNC, and into contracted sales roles serving clients like Apple. Along the way, I've worked across legal, finance, operations, and technology sales, with each role adding a new layer to how I think about what makes people and organizations succeed.

I hold a B.A. in Organizational Development and Leadership and an M.A. in Organizational Leadership. My formal education has truly given me the background needed to help you succeed. That being said, some of my most valuable education has happened in the workplace where I navigated real challenges, led real teams, and figured out what actually works when the stakes are high and the results are real.

Today, I bring my combination of academic knowledge and hands-on experience to individuals and small businesses who are ready to grow, improve, and move forward. My approach is collaborative, honest, and non-judgmental. I'll meet you where you are, and I'll be in your corner every step of the way.

 FAQs

Let’s Have a Conversation

Your first step is simple: a free, no pressure, 30-minute conversation. We’ll talk about what’s going on, what you’d like to achieve, and whether us working together makes sense for you.

There’s no hard sell here, only an honest discussion with someone who genuinely wants to help you figure out your next move.

After we talk, I’ll put together a complimentary one-page assessment or action plan tailed to your situation. It will be something you can use and reference right away, whether we work together or not.
