Q: Lisa, what inspired you to begin your journey as a coach?
I began coaching over a decade ago because I wasn’t happy in the role I was in at the time. During my first master’s degree, I learned about coaching, and it resonated deeply with me. I discovered it in May and opened my coaching practice by September 2013. Since then, it’s been an incredible journey.
Q: What has your coaching journey looked like over the years?
I’ve had the opportunity to work with people all over the world, across different walks of life and levels of management. It’s truly been my pleasure to serve them. I continue to coach and look for ways to help more people. Currently, I’m completing my third master’s degree in clinical mental health so I can better understand human emotions and theories—and translate that knowledge into more effective coaching.
Q: How do people usually find their way to you?
Right now, it’s primarily through word of mouth. I work with four different coaching organizations, and many clients transition from those programs into my private practice.
Q: As a solopreneur, how do you manage your time and energy?
Time management looks different for everyone. I often work with tools like the Myers-Briggs assessment to understand whether someone thrives with structure or flexibility. For some, time chunking works best; for others, having a consistent daily focus is key. What matters most is showing up every day and devoting intentional time to what needs to be done.
Q: What are you currently noticing in your work with clients?
Many adults are realizing later in life that they have ADHD. A growing part of my work is helping people—especially leaders—navigate ADHD so their lives can feel more productive and less overwhelming, alongside all the other areas I coach in.
Q: What advice would you share with people who struggle with overwhelm or procrastination?
Focus on very small steps. Overwhelm often comes from trying to do too much at once. Acknowledge each small step you complete—moving forward little by little helps reduce the intensity of overwhelm.
“Moving forward in very small steps—and acknowledging each one—can make even the most overwhelming journey feel possible.”
