"When I found Parachute Coaching, I was miserable in my job. It was emotionally draining, and I felt trapped. I needed someone to help me focus my energy and get the work done well, and fast! That’s exactly what I got. Lauren helped me identify the positive aspects of my current situation (however bad it seemed to me) and she skillfully guided me to pursue new career opportunities that more directly align with my values and goals. Just like an athletic coach, Lauren found my strengths and "trained" me to develop those, while being aware of potential weaknesses and obstacles I created for myself. I am thrilled to say that within weeks (literally) I accepted an amazing position at a company I have been following for years. In addition, Lauren helped me discover ways in which I create my own obstacles and we developed strategies to prevent that in the future. Lauren is a true source of support -- responding quickly to emails and making herself available as needed, recognizing the anxiety of career transitions.”

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.

“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!”
