Main objective I was seeking was achieved in half the time

Lynn is great. I hired her on a 1×1 personal coaching basis. The main objective I was seeking was achieved in half the time. The other half, she helped me to think beyond my current self and find new potential.

She is very sharp, and does an outstanding job listening and responding. I am already referring her to friends and peers.

I could share anything with Lynn without feeling judged

Lynn is truly a gifted Coach and a leader. She is quick to pick up on clients’ needs, strengths and goals because she listens carefully and helps them discover their true goals and needs through coaching and subtle, effective questioning.

One of Lynn’s many specialties is to utilize meaningful assessments as well as self-reflection techniques that go back to points in time that really help you uncover those “a-ha!” moments that help define your transferable skills and strengths as well as what you really like to do.
