Your Coach
Hi, I'm LJ
I help free ambitious leaders from the beliefs and behaviours that get in the way of their career growth, prosperity and joy.
When I discovered coaching and conscious leadership, I knew this was my calling. It transformed my life completely—while I had been trying everything I could to prove myself and gain recognition in my career, suddenly a world of possibility and powerful new understanding opened up before me.
I claimed my power and leadership having gained invaluable new tools and insights. I saw how I could not only get out of my own way, but also get other people excited about my ideas, co-create opportunities with clients, negotiate powerfully, and resolve conflicts without all the drama.
In the past few years I've developed my own communication framework (CLEAR Communication). I've also refined those I've learned from others. These ways of leading and relating have completely transformed my relationships—and those of countless clients.
Now here's the key. The most impactful way to see powerful shifts in your life? It's practice. Whether you're new to these concepts or want to hone your skills, you'll not only learn powerful new ways of leading and communicating, but also have the opportunity to practice them in a supportive community. You'll also have opportunities to ask questions that come up after the retreat in future Community Q&As, plus you'll meet other leaders from the Shine+ community with whom you can keep practicing!
I want to help you to get clear, lead powerfully, and connect authentically with the people in your life, so you can love your relationships and your work, and create a life that feels connected and purpose-driven. I know from experience that anyone can become a powerful leader through practice and with the right tools. Nobody is born with these skills—it simply takes noticing, commitment, and the willingness to practice what you learn.
I created this retreat at the request of a client and I'm beyond excited to bring this new group of leaders together.
I can't wait to see the magic we weave together!
Reach out if you have any questions.
With love,
LJ
