You are more powerful than you think
Often as a working woman, the barriers to thriving in a male-dominated environment seem overwhelming. As a professional coach, Lara can help you stop apologizing for being different and embrace the unique perspective which supports your own well-being and success.
“The whole is greater than the sum of its parts”- Aristotle
An ideal way to expand your knowledge and commit to personal goals that are meaningful to you is through group coaching. By meeting on a routine basis, individuals in the group will benefit from peer interaction and support, exchange of ideas and perspectives, and grow in their self-awareness as they work toward their personal goals.
