My perennial challenge is to market myself with maximum efficiency–connecting with the ideal clients and projects without expending excess resources (including money, time, and energy). During our session, I was impressed with Lisa’s ability to balance a coach’s intuition with a strategist’s analytical skills. She was able to provide insights that have positively impacted both my business and my personal/creative life. If you want a great blend of practical, grounded, strategic advice and insights for personal development, definitely seek Lisa out.

I firmly believe things happen, and people enter into our lives, for a reason and I count my blessings that my path has intertwined with my fellow BossBabe and Mompreneur, Lisa.

To be honest, when Lisa and I first started talking ‘life’ I was not looking to buckle down and start tweaking my less desirable traits. For the first time in my life I was feeling rather professionally stable and satisfied, having navigated through 3 pregnancies and maternity leaves that disrupted the flow of this scatterbrained work-a-holic. But, there was a sizeable disconnect between the success I had achieved on paper and my overall happiness.

Through her exceptionally compassionate, genuine approach and questioning, Lisa helped unearth which bits were and were not actually working in my life, prioritize tasks to complete, and suggested fantastic books and educational material that tailored to my personality and overall life needs.

I will never forget her parting words to me on our last session – “Make this year about education”. She knew very well I had struggled to step outside my comfortable little bubble of knowledge with young children at home and a practice to run. That week I resolved to start chipping away at the parts of dentistry that had alluded me to date – Invisalign being one of them. I registered for a course that was aptly called “The Course That Changed Everything”. 1.5 years later, because of the skillset Lisa helped develop and a drive to reach outside my comfort zone to attain my personal and professional potential, I am now the Top GP Invisalign provider in all of British Columbia. The same girl who was once afraid of her own shadow, took those skills developed and perfected by Lisa, and now finds herself living her best life. I carry myself with a confidence and passion for not only dentistry but for life generally – indeed this seed she planted in me has take root, and the fruits of her labour are continuing to present themselves in the form of opportunity and growth. Finding myself wanting to pay it forward, I recently started training other dentists how to develop the practice of their dreams. In fact I’m writing this message en route to speaking at my first convention! Never in my wildest dreams could I have envisioned myself in this role. And there isn’t a doubt in my mind that I owe a great deal of my success to Lisa.

I absolutely believe that anyone would benefit from embarking on this journey. Lisa does not offer a cookie-cutter approach; rather she uses her wealth of knowledge and wisdom to bring upon positive change and momentum in whichever capacity a person desires. I cannot recommend her highly enough! Complete game changer!

I was feeling overwhelmed as a working mom with a business of my own.

I wanted some clarity and strategy around how to succeed in all these different areas of my life. I was feeling very panicked and like I wasn’t winning at anything.

Lisa’s approach created so much clarity and in spite of my juggling act, she helped me implement systems and strategies to tame the chaos. Lisa helped me create actionable items that would help me move from feeling panicked to feeling calm.

As a result of working with Lisa I have transformed my sense of what winning really is for me in life. I have more confidence in saying no to things that do not align with my vision for my life. With Lisa’s help I have learned to trust my own instincts and to step in to my own power.

I reached out to Lisa because I was having a hard time focusing my energy as my kids needed my time less and less. I was feeling overwhelmed with options and at the same time stuck in patterns that no longer served me with my role at home changing.

While working with Lisa I am creating focus and in that have re ignited passions for my own goals. I am reminding myself who I want to be and practising showing up as her authentically, in all my circles.

The favourite thing I have learned is using my “living on purpose” sheets. They keep my focus on things that mean the most to me and don’t let ideas, connections, goals get lost in the business of life.

I think it is unique to find someone with such a strong business background who sees a new way of leading and running a business that is heart centered. If you want to “live a life that lights you up” invest in Lisa, to invest in yourself. You will serve larger, more authentically and the world will be better.

Wow! When I booked a Ready, Set, Bloom! Strategy Session with Lisa I had too much going on and I was driving myself a bit crazy.

I was spending a lot of time in an area that wasn’t making me nearly as much revenue as another area but I just couldn’t stop tending to it because I wanted to see it flourish!

Lisa was wonderful as she really honed in on my #1 mistake; I was taking on too much when I could have been sharing the workload better.

My session with Lisa was the start of a huge change! I ended up closing down that part of the business, let go of two people and went back to our businesses roots; simplifying our offering and making things manageable for my partner and I to handle again.

Lisa is very intuitive, as she almost seems to ‘know’ before even saying much of what your struggles might be. She is very good at seeing the blocks that are holding a business owner back and suggesting great ideas and strategies to help you get back on track.

I participated in Lisa van Reeuwyk’s workshop titled Conversations for Success as the Career Services Manager Dress for Success Vancouver.

Lisa shared amazing tips that really benefitted Dress for Success’ clients such as focus on positive thoughts before you go to sleep. Even when you sleep, which accounts for almost 1/3 of your day you want to stay focused on positive thoughts to attract more of these miracles into your life. The other really memorable tip is the mirror work that Lisa introduced in her workshop.

We women are very critical of our looks and I found it difficult to stop the criticism and be kind and gentle to myself while looking in the mirror. However with practice I found positive self-talk while gazing at my image in the mirror has greatly improved my self-confidence and helped me to look at myself and others with a lot more compassion.

Lisa really helps people to bloom and I am so grateful that she is making this world a better place with her work.

I feel women who are struggling expressing their inner Goddess can really benefit from this style of workshop. I do not want to limit your audience.
