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.

Initially I was hesitant to invest in Lucia's programmes as I was worried that I'd emerge knowing nothing new as I've already done a great deal of work on my personal development. But after working together for two months we have made some real progress - what were remote and shapeless ideas now have some shape, order and priority which makes them more tangible and easier to work with.
We worked through weekly "thinking assignments" as Lucia calls them, to piece together the many thoughts I'd had over the years on overhauling my career. While working together, I dismissed flights of fancy ideas and anything that required a leap of faith. We generated lots of ideas, then narrowed those to the Top 5 which play to my strengths and Superpowers and would therefore make my future work more satisfying and enjoyable. Then I narrowed those to two final ideas and selected the one which had the most realistic opportunity to succeed in the current environment.
I'm now on the brink of stepping into the water of a new career opportunity that fills me with excitement rather than my previous options: diving head first into the unknown or staying stuck in exactly the same place I've been for a while. I'm still a little nervous but I'm more excited.

I had so many lightbulb moments while discovering my Superpowers, that I thought I was going to have to start wearing sunglasses!

I honestly thought I wouldn’t be able to pinpoint my “superpowers” but Lucia proved me wrong. I really enjoyed the session we had. She was so skilled at making me see how I could use the things I do naturally to shape my work life and find some happiness every day.
Working with Lucia has helped me to think about my future and, whilst I am not looking for a radical change, I can really focus on asking the right questions to find an environment that will suit me.

It was great to have someone as positive and enthusiastic cheering me on when I had kind of lost hope.
Working with Lucia was like a breath of fresh air because I'd been going round and round in circles, ruminating over the same ideas and the same stuck patterns of thought on what I might like to do. The positivity, passion and clarity Lucia offers can really open the gates of possibility for you to change career. She gave me the confidence to take some steps towards a career change that I hadn’t had the belief or confidence to take.
I liked the authentic interest Lucia showed throughout our coaching sessions. Her genuine curiosity in helping me to understand myself better made me more curious about myself as a person and more committed to my pursuit of finding a satisfying career. For example, Lucia tended to summarise what I had said or what we had covered during our calls – it was enlightening to hear someone else bring things together in a completely different way.
