Very recently, I hit a very difficult vocational cross-road, demanding that I make life-altering decisions. Dr. Withrow agreed to accompany me on that tricky, decisional path and thanks to her competent and compassionate guidance, I was able to make the right turn. She just knows how to pull the difficult truth out of you; and when you experience that, you know you have been blessed with the guidance of a master coach.

“Making the Case” workshop provided me with an excellent opportunity to think through some of the stickier issues that have arisen for me in pulpit work. Having the feedback and reflections of colleagues was truly wonderful… I am grateful to have been part of this special group.

With Lisa as my coach, I found myself uncovering personal insights and practical takeaways that had not surfaced independently. As a leader and professional with a fast-paced schedule, I may not stop for lunch or a full night’s sleep let alone take such needed, essential time to focus on myself, recalibrate, and revisit my goals and needs. The time with Lisa provided a valuable, much needed pause. She seemed to naturally and intuitively support where I needed to be, in parallel with challenging me to propel forward or reframe my experience to meet my intentions for our coaching sessions.

I feel like Lisa is often a mirror into my mind, guiding me through where I am or pulling out of me what may feel jumbled or unclear, so I can use ‘what I’m taking away’ to move forward.
