Find Your True North
Design the next chapter of your career.
Shift From Confused To Clear in Your Career
Does this sound like you?
✓ You know something feels off about your work. You wonder, "How did I get here?" and “Where do I go from here?”
✓ You're Googling other jobs, reading their descriptions, and feeling mostly “meh.” They all feel like more of the same, and you want something different—you just don’t know what.
✓ You've read some career books, but they haven't helped you connect with your deeper purpose or calling. They seem too surface level or basic to help.
✓ You have loads of interests, but none of them stand out as being your "one thing." And you have no idea how to choose just one or how to combine them into something that makes sense.
✓ Or it’s hard to get excited about much of anything right now. Somewhere along the way, you’ve lost sight of your passion and curiosity. And if you’re being really honest, you might be a bit burned out.
✓ You're scared of making the wrong decision and losing everything you've built so far: your years of experience, your reputation, your security, and your status.
✓ Your life has changed in a big way, and the career that once worked well enough now feels all wrong. It’s overwhelming trying to figure out what to do next.

“Thanks to Lisa I ended up going for a role switch!
She helped me advance my career and continues to help me navigate the challenges within my current role. Work-life balance is one of the most important things to me, and she’s helped me advocate for myself to achieve that.
I've learned to see the bigger picture while also recognizing the value of my health and personal preferences. It's been empowering. I've been more confident in my decisions thanks to Lisa.”

Lisa encouraged me to focus on what I've learned from my last role that can move me toward seeking what I really need—and what aligns with me values—in my next career move. I've just completed two rapid second-round interviews, and they both felt "easy" to me, which really surprised me. After reflecting on this feeling, I had that "a-ha" moment: they felt easy because I was at ease, sharing about my personal experiences, strengths, and values. I represented my authentic self, rather than an ideal version that an employer might be seeking. And it feels amazing!

“Working with Lisa has allowed me to step away from the narratives I repeat to myself when dealing with struggles in work and personal life. After listening to my thoughts, she has an incredible ability to pull out kernels of insights that help me re-frame how I view a problem, often broadening the solution set in an unexpected way. She also provides actionable tips on how to break the habits and thought patterns that have blocked me from making progress. And she does it all with such warmth, grace, and kindness.”

From career chaos to cozy cocoon
Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is let go of expectations so we can discover our own next right steps. That’s what happened when I decided on a new life and career path after connecting deeply with my intuition and healing my overachieving ways.
Through my experience, I learned how to believe in myself and define success on my own terms. That process led me to create Cocoon—a coaching practice that helps underrepresented leaders thrive.
My education at Harvard College, Harvard Divinity School, and the Coaches Training Institute inform my approach. My previous design leadership roles at Dropbox, NIO, and All Turtles also provide key insights to help you find your True North.
After living in many cities across the globe, I'm now nestled in Santa Fe with my partner, daughter, and rescue pup.

✓ You’re constantly questioning whether you’re on the right career path, and it feels deeply uncomfortable. You’ve always been ambitious, but it’s hard to be ambitious when you know you’re on the wrong path.
