“I love Parachute’s content and focus. It’s well-tailored to professionals seeking a career path forward that will be the best fit for each individual’s strengths, weaknesses, and aspirations. And Lauren is a tremendously empathetic listener who takes what she’s learned while in “receive” mode and really incorporates that into her advice. As a leader in a large organization, I happily refer colleagues and friends to this coaching practice for a wide variety of leadership, career and confidence topics.”

“Lauren is amazing! Her one-on-one coaching has helped me tremendously. If you’re not sure about your career path, or have felt confused about where you want to go in the future - or even just how to get there faster, Lauren has a great set of tools that will suss that out in short order. She helped me get off the hamster wheel in my head, and start having actionable steps that quickly moved me much closer to my dreams than I had been able to move myself. She helped me identify my strengths and values, and learn to start changing the way I think and talk about myself and my career. She is also very personable and kind, and I looked forward to our talks! I feel confident about moving forward, and am so glad I finally invested the time and money. If you’re going to spend 40+ hours a week on something, it only makes sense to invest now in what will pay off dividends later!”

“I highly recommend Parachute Coaching. Lauren’s valuable set of coaching sessions helped me shine a light on my skills, explore my options, renew my confidence and adopt a more positive approach to my career path. It is not therapy or hand holding, but straightforward weekly discussions and objectives to help guide you forward to meaningful work. Go ahead, you are your best investment!”

“Towards the end of my second maternity leave, I questioned how I could possibly return to Big Law as a mother of two (and a wife, friend, and lover of sleep!). With both panic and hope, I reached out to Lauren, who responded to my initial e-mail (subject line: “Help!!!!!!!!”) with pow. Lauren was immediately validating, accepting, comforting, and inspiring. Her “homework assignments” enabled me to identify and meaningfully define my values; our counseling sessions helped me to think intelligently, honestly, and creatively about how to honor these values in both my professional and personal choices. Lauren led me through this process with patience and seemingly unconditional support, but also challenged me along the way to explore and understand how certain choices might impact my priority hierarchy. When I ultimately decided to return to the firm, I did so confidently and with an unwavering commitment to protecting what I learned through this Lauren-driven self-exploration that I need to be my happiest self. Thank you, Lauren!!”

“I participated in Lauren’s 8 week group coaching series and I can honestly attest to how helpful it was! Lauren is amazing at creating a positive space where all of us could be open about our career goals and current paths. Her advice is also succinct and she bounces between the big goals that we can envision for our future to keep us motivated, as well as the small goals that we can enable in our day-to-day job responsibilities. Each session was thoughtfully planned to reach each of us, and I left every session feeling lifted and optimistic. I also got to use some of the skills we practiced in my everyday work and career search, and got a new job offer in the process!”
