Lara

Next year, you’ll thank yourself for something you did today.  What do you want that something to be?

Coaching is a partnering process that focuses on the present to build new futures.  Working with a coach, you gain a thinking partner who supports your learning through experience: reflection, insight, choosing ways forward, prototyping the possibilities and taking action.  You are the centre of the process.  I love working with people in transition, whether personal or professional.  People wanting to take a next step in life often benefit from coaching.  The deeper purpose of coaching is to unlock human potential, increase understanding and resilience, and maximise flourishing – whether flourishing is professional performance, teamwork, personal growth, coping with loss, transitioning to new roles. YOU decide what flourishing means to you.  Your coach helps you get yourself there.

Testimonials

Lara has rare insight into what motivates human beings. She quickly perceived the blockages that prevented me from achieving my personal goals, and gently guided me to overcome them to live a more fully realised, happy life.
Robert Shaw
senior manager
Lara’s approach is excellent in that she treats me as an expert on myself, while asking me the kinds of questions that help me understand myself better. After the completion of my PhD, I decided to transition from academia into industry, specifically into Data Science. This transition flared up a lot of anxieties, the most challenging of which was good ol’ impostor syndrome. I felt like a beetle that had been turned onto its back – limbs flailing frantically as I tried to forge a new path for myself! Lara helped me identify my strengths, and helped me cultivate the self-compassion and self-worth that I now step into my new role with. She has helped me become more patient with myself as I take on these new challenges. This beetle is back on its feet, and is considering taking up rollerblading.

Lara is incredibly adept at holding the complexities of any issue that I bring her, and masterful at guiding me to solutions. She is genuinely curious about what drives one’s behaviours, and asks the best questions. I always have several “aha! moments” during our sessions as we uncover more of what drives my behaviours. Her curiosity and ability to ask meaningful questions are attributes that cannot be learnt from a book – they are reflective of the deep well of life experience from which she draws in her sessions.
 
I highly recommend her as your guide in getting to know yourself better in a positive, pro-active and empowering way.

Lara has a knack of helping you to identify for yourself precisely what it is that bothers you. She opens the door where angels fear to tread so that before you leap in, you can measure and befriend that with which you must yet wrestle. I will always be grateful for the ways she helped me reimagine myself, for her kindness and candour. I heartily recommend you consult her if you want a new future that doesn’t involve regret, shame and endless dithering.
