You belong in leadership. Your goals are within reach. You are more powerful than you imagine.
Often as a woman in science, 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 instead, embrace the unique perspective which supports your own well-being and success.
How can individualized coaching help me attain my goals?
Coaching can help you achieve high levels of well-being, goal attainment and resilience. Women working in science or leadership who develop self-awareness and know what they want, at work and home, show up with confidence and authenticity.
Lara grew her scientific career from an individual contributor role to a director of medicinal chemistry at a major pharmaceutical company with the support of (among others) a personal coach. She understands the challenges you are facing and wants to help you thrive through adversity.
“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.
Happiness Takes Practice
Based on the science of positive psychology, new habits can improve our happiness during difficult times: gratitude, character strengths, mindfulness, positive emotions, resilience, and acts of kindness. This interactive workshop will be an opportunity to try one new technique each week to improve your well-being.
Women in Science – Mid-Career Thriving
You made it! You got the right degrees, you have a job that looks great, and you have the things you always wanted…but you still feel there is something missing. Maybe you are not being appreciated the way you think you should. Or your priorities have shifted, and you are looking for more meaning in your work or life. Or you are simply burned out and want to redirect your future efforts. Join a group of professionals like you for a discussion about these issues and build a fulfilling future for yourself.
Lara has a unique perspective on working in science and how important personal well-being is for success at work and home. She has recently been invited to speak about positive psychology with scientific audiences in a variety of contexts:
