Having been in many rooms where I was the only woman, I know firsthand how meaningful it can be to learn from and with other women navigating their own leadership journeys. Parachute takes pride in empowering women through a variety of facilitated workshops, with topics including communications, confidence, inclusion, and strategic prioritization.
“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 highly recommend Parachute Coaching. Lauren’s valuable 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 discussions and objectives to help guide you forward to meaningful work. Go ahead, you are your best investment!”
