Meet
Lynn Dessert
My business, Leadership Breakthrough, was created because I believe leaders need to break out of their comfort zone to grow.
Coaching provides the time and place for leaders to explore who they want to become.
One of my superpowers is helping my clients to see or experience the unobvious. We might zoom in or out on a problem or look at it from a different angle. After thoughtful examination, you may choose a different approach.
What sets Lynn Dessert apart…
Not only do you get a coach with over 3,500 coaching hours, I’m also a master certified coach who works with you to achieve professional and personal results.
Who I work with
I’ve worked with companies and individuals who commit to being their best selves. Through the process of visioning, discovery, testing, reflection, and accountability, leaders uncover who they can become and what they are willing to do to get there.
