Meet Lydia - Executive Coach and Founder

As a third-generation business owner, the hustle of business growth is in my bones. Grandfathers and parents all navigated the trials and joys of entrepreneurship -hence my passion for seeing what potential lies within leaders.

I spent 20 years working with Fortune 500 businesses, developing leaders of global businesses, and helping teams navigate change on a massive scale. But when the world turned upside down in Spring 2020, it was inevitable for me to return to my roots, and take the success skills from the worlds’ top leaders to my local business community, and support leaders and businesses in the toughest economic climate for growth businesses in memory.

Today, my partners and I support growth businesses to help them innovate and reimagine their company culture and talent to grow faster, retain the best people, and transform lives in their community.

Our Mission

We exist to support leaders and teams who are putting it all on the line to grow businesses, create jobs, and leave a professional legacy in their local community.

Our Values

Entrepreneurialism

"Entrepreneurship is neither a science nor an art. It is a practice.” -Peter Drucker (Austrian-born American management consultant, educator, and author)

 

Hustle

“It’s not about money or connections. It’s the willingness to outwork and outlearn everyone when it comes to your business.” – Mark Cuban

 

Authenticity

"Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we’re supposed to be and embracing who we are." - Brene Brown

Risk-Taking

"One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest." -- Maya Angelou

Community

"I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can." – George Bernard Shaw

Humility

"The only wisdom we can hope to acquire is the wisdom of humility."- T. S. Eliot.
