Caroline - Artist, UK, 60s
I had the most wonderful experience working with Lucia to clarify what my particular talents are (aka my superpowers!).
She held the space, track my meandering conversation and ask just the right questions at just the right time. She reflected back what she'd heard in a clear and (crucially) connected way that allowed me to first recognise it and then move it one step further.
Together we arrived at an understanding of what I do that's special, which I then fine tuned until I was satisfied.
I now have a clear and articulated set of statements that enables me to move my work forward by putting myself in the right position/s for the work I'm best at and love the most.
That's very powerful.
Kerstin - Education, US, 50s
I'm a midlife professional who suddenly needed to re-evaluate my lifelong career. Where to even start?
Less than 2 months later, I can clearly articulate my Superpowers (Lucia's specialty!), the world problems I am keen to work on, and, most importantly, I feel a refreshed confidence to take on new challenges.
We laughed, and she gave me tough homework. We laughed, and she asked me probing questions. Lucia spent hours reviewing the materials from me, sifting it through her own experienced lens of decades of helping others with their careers. She's smart, experienced, and intuitive - exactly the combination I required.
I've found new clarity, energy, and professional direction from working with Lucia. As I told my husband, we've spent the same amount of money on a new water heater, or on landscaping work, or even on pots and pans. Why wouldn't we spend it on something even more essential - activating my most joyful and engaged professional life?
You'll be so very glad you did!
William - Lawyer, London, UK, 50s
Your style of coaching helps to lifted the fog of self-doubt I was wading through, leaving the way ahead much clearer and more exciting.
Tom - Engineering, US, 40s
I was concerned about whether I’d get value for the investment. I needn’t have worried. It’s the best financial investment I’ve made this year!
Donna - Advertising, US, 40s
Our work has changed the way I do work...and life.
I understand now how to structure my work to energise me rather than leave me feeling depleted and burned out. I've had more aha moments in our three months together than I've had over years of therapy.
The biggest difference between our work and others is that the approach is very tangible - there are actionable plans. And those plans are bespoke to me, my talents, my personality and the way my brain works. For the first time ever, I have a clear vision of the future.
Joelyn - Portfolio Business Owner, Surrey UK, 40s
Two years on, and I’ve created a life of blended work that is fun, light and fulfilling.
I wake up on a average Monday morning and genuinely am excited about the opportunities and connections I will unearth.
Working with Lucia has been a life-changing experience.
Di - Economist, London, 40s
When I signed up to the Superpowers programme with Lucia, I knew that I needed to make work work better for me, but the idea of interrogating what was wrong (and right) with work by myself was intimidating and painful, so I was looking for somebody to help guide me through the process and keep me honest with myself.
Lucia was able to see patterns in my behaviour and links between how I choose to spend my free-time and how I choose to spend time in work that were not at all obvious to me.
Figuring out my “superpowers” has had all sorts of almost impacts that I wasn’t expecting. I felt encouraged to deal with a big problem that I had been avoiding. Frustratingly, when I dealt with it, it didn’t turn out to be such a big problem at all. I’m feeling more excited about the future and have more energy than I’ve had for a while, and am already able to be more deliberate in making my current work fit me better.
Lucia's feedback has helped me find possible ways to not throw the baby out with the bath water, in career terms. I now have a good Plan A to let me focus on the areas of work that keep me energised and engaged while freeing up the time I need to pursue my other passions: and I know that I can always go back to Lucia to help me navigate plans B, C and D if Plan A doesn't work out.
Dealing with fear of change is something that needs someone who understands your world but isn't bogged down by your baggage to help you navigate a new path. Lucia has definitely helped me on the road to becoming unstuck.
MC - Business owner, Sussex, UK, 40s
I've run businesses in various forms for decades, but I'd been itching to change direction for some time. Fear around losing my financial security and worry that I'd make the wrong choice held me back from making a decision. I knew Lucia could help.
Over a couple of months we worked through carefully-formulated mind-opening and analytical exercises that clarified my thinking into a crystal clear strategy. A portfolio career that keeps me earning while I invest time in moving into a really exciting new venture that encapsulates everything I want from my future working life.
I know with certainty that we have designed my new work-life - in a way that brings me happiness, fun and financial security. Working with Lucia wasn't always easy as some of the exercises and work take patience but when you see the outcome crystalise. it’s such a liberating and incredible place to be - her methods work. I'm left with not just a decision on direction that excites me, but tools and a framework to make sure I continue to make the right career decisions in future.
Paul - FD/Operations, Tyne & Wear UK, 50s
I’m two weeks into my new role and I am in love with it....smiling again and really enjoying my work life again.
All because I now understand my Superpowers. Thank you.
Laura - Business owner, Sussex, 40s
I have worked in the same industry most of my professional life and I knew I needed a change, but wasn’t sure what or how.
I was hesitant about spending that much on me, but working with Lucia ignited the spark in me to help me take my own needs seriously and do something about it.
I negotiated some small changes in my work-life that were exactly right. And I don’t believe I would have reached this conclusion half as quickly without working with Lucia.
I might want to make a bigger career change in the future, but for now, I feel content because my life feels more in balance with the ‘life’ bit being given the time it deserves.
Nick - HR Director, UK, 50s
I know what my future could look like. I have a clear direction and I have new tools and techniques that will help me make each day more enjoyable.
Jeff - Business owner, US, 50s
Since focusing on my Superpowers and on who I serve with them, my business has taken off.
Elizabeth - FS, South East, 40s
Years later, I still trace everything in my career change to the process you led me through.
Truly life changing in the most amazing way!
Jo - Business owner, Surrey, 40s
I was faced with what seemed like endless opportunities; some I ‘should’ do and others that seemed beyond my reach and control. Lucia offered me a sacred space, without judgement, where all these opportunities could be unpicked and explored.
I have got to know Lucia over the past year or so through her hilarious and heart-warming emails and posts.
Since working with Lucia, I feel stronger. I know exactly what my Superpowers are, I know who I want to work with. For the first time in a long time, I have clarity and purpose.
I say no to work that drains me. Imagine that. Like, ‘No’.
I’m back to being me, the pre kids me. But better and stronger. I have re-energised and found my superpowers which I have harnessed and am ready to take out into the world.
Jon - Pharmaceutical, London, 50s
I have worked with lots of coaches over the last five years who have focussed on improving my weaknesses but I feel much more energised by the work we've done than during any of those experiences.
Jileen - Project Management, London, 40s
The work I’ve done with Lucia is at my disposal forever. It is a once-in-a-lifetime investment that will pay dividends for the rest of my career.
I have worked with Lucia to Discover my Superpowers and Reset programmes. Both have allowed me to spot when my career is not providing me with what I need to thrive, the action I need to take to change that, and when it is time to move on, potentially saving years of agonising.
Recently, I got two offers from two applications. Both are fantastic roles that totally play to my superpowers and would give me lots of interesting and energising problems to solve.
The work with Lucia also made it easy for me to quickly choose the right role out of the two, as I know what I want from future work.
Lucia has given me the tools to look objectively at my skills and previous experience and identify the keywords, problems and opportunities that totally embody my values and purpose. Lucia has guided me from employment to self-employment back to employment again with confidence.
Sarah - HR, Berkshire, 50s
My career was well and truly stuck. I’d been marking time until I retired before finding Lucia. I wanted to look back with no regrets and since I hated what I did - I needed to do something different.
Working through Lucia’s methods and exercises gave me explanations for all sorts of things over the course of my career. Some came naturally and were enjoyable, and some were very challenging.
My future looks completely different now. I've got a very different outlook. I have a new focus and clarity about the way forward. I can almost see a colour change ahead in my life. I feel energised. I feel almost like I've been plugged into a socket and switched on. I'm putting together my skillset with a new idea.
It's given me a new lease of life. And others have noticed that there's been a positive change in me.
Lucia’s courses are both for those of us who feel stuck but also those who want to fine-tune themselves and their working lives. And the impact of working through her programmes will have benefits for everyone I ever work with in future.
I feel like I’ve had a midlife MOT. And my engine is working much better!
Catherine - Communications, London, 50s
I was stuck at a crossroads. As I grew older, I began to realise that there are less people like me, around my age, in the business. I was feeling almost paralysed by the decisions ahead of me. I didn’t want to do what I’ve always done so I needed some help.
After working with Lucia, it feels like the future is something that I’m very much in charge of - rather it’s being done to me! The big question for me and people in my age group is “what do you want to do with the last third of your life?” I now have a plan.
Nick - HR, Surrey, 50s
Since working with Lucia, I have a long-term dream and ambition on what I want the next decade to look like that I’m moving towards. Also, practically, in the short-term, I now have a range of tools and techniques to help me make each day better, to do more of what I enjoy and to make sure I’m doing less of the work that I don’t enjoy.
The future feels positive, I know what it could look like and I have a plan on how to get there.
Ellen - HR, US, 60s
I can not say enough wonderful words about Lucia. She made a huge difference in my path forward from senior executive to building people/culture infrastructure for small companies.
She has keen insight and the ability to help you find a solution quickly. She also was able to help me articulate clearly the business idea I have been struggling to describe to others.
