Who invests in a coach?

I was having trouble prioritizing my life, was all over the place with no routine and was finding it hard to reach my goals without direction and a plan.

Working with Lisa has been great! She first helped me with my mindset and gave me powerful tools to use to stay positive in a changing market. I was able to work on my daily routine, organize my finances and come up with positive affirmations to keep me on track. The most beneficial thing I learned from Lisa was my CEO time, spending time everyday on my business.

Lisa is awesome to work with! She is very supportive and really takes the time to understand what your needs are so she can help you in the best way that works for you! Lisa has helped me tremedlously by getting me on track and helped keep me accountable to my goals.

She helps in a non judgmental way to find out what is going on in your business and helps you set achievable goals then she helps you with a great strategic plan to achieve them!

Having a routine that I enjoy has made all the difference! Lisa helps make you realize anything is possible in your business and she is very motivating to work with. Lisa is not only a fantastic business coach but has become a trusted friend and advisor.

Thank you Lisa for helping me get on track and for helping me get to a place where I am running my business and my life with a positive attitude and enjoying it!!

Well where do I begin… I’m 48 years old and I’ve had my own business for 18+ years. I employ 14 beautiful employees all with extremely creative minds amynd personalities. I found that trying to manage my business, team and my personal life was getting to be a challenge, in other words I felt like I hit a brick wall head on!

Somewhere along the way I had lost my confidence, my positive ness and my spark. I knew that in order for me to move forward I needed some help to steer me in the right direction and that’s when Lisa was referred to me from a dear friend who happened to be going through a similar situation.

Lisa is a beautiful soul inside and out. Her honesty and willingness to want to help you find direction, balance and happiness is incredible. I thank her from the bottom of my heart for this gift that she has and how she has guided me in the right direction!!

I remember my very first meeting with Lisa, I cried for 90 min straight, I’m not sure what she thought of me, or what she was getting into! Lol! After several meetings and a lot of homework/book reading and mirror work, I began to see my spark come back, my confidence was growing again and I was learning to love myself again.

Although it was the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through (admitting there is something wrong and if you don’t get help you won’t move forward) this was the best experience I’ve ever had.

I have to say, the best thing I have learned through my coaching journey is that I wasn’t alone in this; that so many women have gone through this.

I have to close with this; I learned a lot from my very first book that Lisa wanted me to read, The Four Agreements, by Don Miguel Ruiz. I swear I’ve read it 17 times! My favourite agreement is “Don’t take anything personally” (something I’m still working on and will for the rest of my life).

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.

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.

Before I started working with Lisa, I was working on my own through some online business trainings to build my Yoga Comfort Zone business. However, I seemed to lack the confidence to follow all the way through.

Lisa became my cheerleader and helped clarify steps that I needed to take to improve the flow of abundance in my life. She also became my confidant and much needed support when I went through a few incredibly challenging experiences along the way. She gives amazing hugs as well.

The coaching that I received from Lisa has supported me to find confidence in myself, my business and what I have to offer. I’d recommend her to any entrepreneur.
