"I participated in a coaching group led by Lisa. During our weeks together, I learned invaluable skills on prioritizing my time and taking effective actions. My “aha” moment came when I realized that by taking small steps in one or two areas, I was actually improving many other aspects of my life as well. Lisa wisely chose a group of women whom I already had so much in common with and then led the group in a fun, non-threatening, productive way. I left with a greater appreciation for my life and a more manageable and positive outlook on achieving my life’s goals. I thoroughly enjoyed my coaching experience with Lisa." --Marcey Brothers, Special Education Teacher, St. Andrew The Apostle School, Clifton, VA

She brought a unique viewpoint that truly made a difference on this complex project. I look forward to working with her again!" --Eileen Kugler, President, Embrace Diverse Schools, Author and Speaker, Springfield, VA
