Lauren Talking on zoom on her phone

Hi, I’m Lauren

I know what it feels like to lose your spark under the weight of expectations. For years, I pushed myself to “do it all” — until burnout made me stop and ask: what does leadership really mean?

That question changed everything.

I realised leadership isn’t just about titles, influence, or managing others. It starts with self-awareness, clarity, and the ability to lead yourself first. Only then can you lead others with integrity and impact.

My Journey

My background is in education and leadership, but what shaped me most was experiencing burnout first-hand. It forced me to slow down, rebuild, and create a life where ambition and wellbeing could coexist.

That journey inspired me to retrain as a coach. Over the years, I’ve developed a unique approach that blends structure and strategy with empathy and emotional intelligence. Coaching, for me, isn’t about giving you the answers — it’s about creating the space for you to uncover your own.

Today, I use the signature IC Three Circles Model© (Reality – Ideal – Action) to guide clients through a process of reflection, clarity, and aligned action. It’s practical, simple, and, most importantly, it works.

My Coaching Style

My coaching style is calm, grounded, and deeply reflective. I create a space where you can think clearly, speak honestly, and explore what’s really driving your decisions, behaviours, and patterns.

Clients often tell me my coaching feels like a mix of deep conversation, clear direction, and a gentle push forward. I’m warm and empathetic but also honest and strategic.

My work blends emotional intelligence, practical strategy, and insight, helping you strengthen the inner foundations that shape how you lead yourself and others. I help you step into your own authentic leadership style with confidence and conviction.

Why I Do This Work

I do this work because I believe that when people understand themselves more deeply, they lead with greater clarity, confidence, and integrity.

I’ve seen how transformative it is when someone reconnects with their values, strengthens their self‑trust, and learns to navigate their inner world with more awareness.

Supporting that shift, the moment someone steps into who they really are and leads from a more grounded, intentional place, is the reason I do what I do.
