Real Life Success Stories

Rachael Curson​ - Account Director, AKQA

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Lindsey is a guru and a true professional. She is an expert at active listening and getting to the heart of my challenges and knows how to help me solve them. By the end of our sessions I always feel energised, motivated and leave with a positive and hopeful mindset.

It’s been so valuable and fun to work with you Linds. Even the tough uncomfortable stuff has been worth it. It’s been a long time since I’ve had someone purely focussed on my needs and it was rewarding to see my progress.

Lisa Leaupepe​​ - Product Owner, Ministry for Primary Industries

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Finding a mentor/coach that you can easily connect with and build trust and confidence, is key to a successful coaching experience.

Lindsey not only has a gift in connecting and building trust with people but importantly she has mastered the art on identifying areas that you dont even realise could benefit a bit of guidance. She provides amazing resources and tailored programs that help realise new opportunities.

After a short introductory session, Lindsey tailored a program specific to my needs. Through the coaching sessions she has enabled me to rebuild my confidence and help me map out the next exciting chapter of my life.

Lindsey, has the ability to quickly 'get you' and then knows how to unlock your potential with awesome tools and resources!

You have been a superstar to work with. I really enjoyed our sessions, they've been fun and you are great at putting me at ease to create a relaxed environment.. You have been an inspiration and helped me rebuild my confidence through the self discovery journey. Which has now landed me in a place where I am excited and motivated to start activating my 5 year plan towards a career in governance!I think the greatest quality Lindsey brings to coaching is her approachability and her ability to really get into the heart of what you are working on. She is also high in empathy and has loads of energy which is motivating as a coach. 

Ani de Graaf - Marketing Lead

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I would absolutely recommend Lindsey to anyone. Not only does she help you from a professional point of view but takes a holistic approach to cover your personal wellbeing as well. After our first session together I had already implemented life changing strategies to progress me in both my personal and professional development. ​
