Working with Lucia was a real turning point.
I now understand how to structure my work to energize me, rather than leave me feeling depleted and burned out.
She helped me see my strengths and what was draining me, which made a huge difference in my current job and now how I'm planning my career change.
I was initially focused on a business idea, but Lucia helped me realise I was about to repeat the same work frustrations, just in a different setting.
Our work made me pause and rethink things. Now, I feel much more confident that my next career move will be something I truly enjoy and am good at.
What stood out was how Lucia helped me understand how I think. I've had more 'aha' moments in our three months together than I've had over years of therapy.
She pointed out strengths and weaknesses I hadn't noticed, which was incredibly helpful.
It felt like she gave me a better understanding of myself, which has been useful in all areas of my life, including this career transition.
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.
Lucia's focus is on what really drives you and makes you happy. It takes some self-reflection, but the results are so valuable.
If you're looking for someone who can help you design a career that fits you, and who really listens, I highly recommend Lucia.

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!
Amanda - Sales, Berkshire, 40s
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.
