Helping women in STEM cultivate belonging

Empowering women in organic chemistry (EWOC)

Women benefit from being authentic at work

 

Do any of these challenges sound familiar? Clients often approach me saying:

  • I’m overwhelmed and don’t have time for myself
  • I wish I had more confidence in the path I’ve chosen
  • I want to feel fulfilled at work and at home

 

You don’t have to navigate these issues alone. Together, we’ll create a plan tailored to your values and goals, so you can thrive—not just survive. Schedule a call to get started. 

Individual Coaching

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.
