“I attended Lisa's program "Embrace Your Personal Power" in 2023. Lisa’s coaching has been a game-changer. The two-day workshop and 3 one-on-one coaching sessions were a masterclass in empowerment. Lisa’s mentorship not only reignited my confidence but also fuelled a drive to develop positive life habits and resilience. Her coaching went beyond the surface, providing skills to navigate tough decisions while staying true to my core values. Through self-reflection, I uncovered strengths enabling me to take calculated risks and embrace discomfort for fulfilling outcomes. Lisa’s warm, empathetic coaching style created a supportive space that has left me feeling directed and unburdened from feeling stuck and unfulfilled. I am genuinely excited about career and life prospects. This program was a transformative journey and absolutely worth the time investment. My heartfelt thanks to Lisa for coaching and dedication to empowering others to be the best version of themselves living intentionally”
“I have worked with Lisa as my Executive Coach over the last 5 years. Through that period I experienced a series of personal and professional changes and challenges. It was useful to be able to share in a safe space how I was feeling and thinking and to clarify ways forward. I felt completely understood, respected and supported at all times. During the time I’ve worked with Lisa, I’ve appreciated and been grateful for her vast and diverse experience and expertise complemented by her passionate and caring demeanour which she’s drawn from to guide and support me overcome numerous challenges. In recent times Lisa has worked with me and my new team in a sequence of team leadership workshops. With the aid of a team diagnostic assessment we have been able to understand who we are as a team, celebrate shared strengths and identify and work on areas to develop. With a clear purpose, values and charter our team relationships have grown enabling us to work with cohesion together in leading our services.”
“Lisa was my executive coach in 2021/2022 and led the coaching team for Wodonga council’s executive team members. She has been insightful, strategically focused, highly trustworthy, challenging and supportive. We are a better, stronger team as a result and this has paid massive dividends for our organisation. Thank you Lisa and team.”
“Over the course of five years 2017-2021 I had the pleasure of working with Lisa Baker, in her capacity as the Facilitator of the "Sprint" program. We ran this leadership program for over one hundred young women studying Science and Biomedical Science courses at Monash University, with Lisa leading the three day program. Lisa's dynamic energy, affable personality, vast experience and excellent program meant these students had an extraordinary experience that will set them up for success in their professional lives. I strongly recommend Lisa and her programs, and would encourage others to work with her if the opportunity arises!”
