TESTIMONIALS

“I worked with Lily while leading a large team through a major strategic transition.

Having a coach with real-world business experience proved essential when tackling any number of challenges.”

“Lily’s intuitive style of coaching has been exceptionally refreshing and effective in supporting my development as both an individual and professional.”

Mike Mompi

Director, ClearlySo

“Three months ago, my business was starting to grow in exciting and unexpected directions. As a sole founder, I really needed a second brain to sanity check, guide and help me set strategic direction through this uncertain time. Lily has done this and so much more. With her kind, smart and considered coaching I have been able to allocate my time more effectively; better spot opportunities and back off from those which may not be in my best interest; recognise habits which may be holding me back; ensure I carefully balance work and life, to prevent burn out; and begin to think longer-term. I know she backs me 100% and has already connected me to her extensive network. Lily is an inspiring business woman, talented coach and wonderful soul. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”
