Jileen - Project Management, London, 40s

The work I’ve done with Lucia is at my disposal forever. It is a once-in-a-lifetime investment that will pay dividends for the rest of my career.

I have worked with Lucia to Discover my Superpowers and Reset programmes. Both have allowed me to spot when my career is not providing me with what I need to thrive, the action I need to take to change that, and when it is time to move on, potentially saving years of agonising.

Recently, I got two offers from two applications. Both are fantastic roles that totally play to my superpowers and would give me lots of interesting and energising problems to solve.

The work with Lucia also made it easy for me to quickly choose the right role out of the two, as I know what I want from future work.

Lucia has given me the tools to look objectively at my skills and previous experience and identify the keywords, problems and opportunities that totally embody my values and purpose. Lucia has guided me from employment to self-employment back to employment again with confidence.

Sarah - HR, Berkshire, 50s

My career was well and truly stuck. I’d been marking time until I retired before finding Lucia. I wanted to look back with no regrets and since I hated what I did - I needed to do something different.

Working through Lucia’s methods and exercises gave me explanations for all sorts of things over the course of my career. Some came naturally and were enjoyable, and some were very challenging.

My future looks completely different now. I've got a very different outlook. I have a new focus and clarity about the way forward. I can almost see a colour change ahead in my life. I feel energised. I feel almost like I've been plugged into a socket and switched on. I'm putting together my skillset with a new idea.

It's given me a new lease of life. And others have noticed that there's been a positive change in me.

Lucia’s courses are both for those of us who feel stuck but also those who want to fine-tune themselves and their working lives. And the impact of working through her programmes will have benefits for everyone I ever work with in future.

I feel like I’ve had a midlife MOT. And my engine is working much better!

Catherine - Communications, London, 50s

I was stuck at a crossroads. As I grew older, I began to realise that there are less people like me, around my age, in the business. I was feeling almost paralysed by the decisions ahead of me. I didn’t want to do what I’ve always done so I needed some help.

After working with Lucia, it feels like the future is something that I’m very much in charge of - rather it’s being done to me! The big question for me and people in my age group is “what do you want to do with the last third of your life?” I now have a plan.

Nick - HR, Surrey, 50s

Since working with Lucia, I have a long-term dream and ambition on what I want the next decade to look like that I’m moving towards. Also, practically, in the short-term, I now have a range of tools and techniques to help me make each day better, to do more of what I enjoy and to make sure I’m doing less of the work that I don’t enjoy.

The future feels positive, I know what it could look like and I have a plan on how to get there.

I can not say enough wonderful words about Lucia. She made a huge difference in my path forward from senior executive to building people/culture infrastructure for small companies.

She has keen insight and the ability to help you find a solution quickly. She also was able to help me articulate clearly the business idea I have been struggling to describe to others.

Elizabeth - Business Owner, Cambridgeshire, 40s

As a midlifer, I want to regret-proof my life. And I felt frustrated because I couldn't see how-to for myself.

I needed a professional who could take me through a carefully designed programme to cut through the thorniness of experience and draw out the gold for me to base my next set of big decisions on. This is precisely what Lucia has done for me - challenged my old ways of thinking and identified my “Superpowers” through observation and listening.

Oh it was uncomfortable at times but just like a gold hunter with her sieve in the stream...we got there by getting rid of the dirt. Now I have the nuggets to hold on to and focus my energy into the next set of work/life experiences.

As a result of discovering my Superpowers I feel more sure about who I am and what I am here to do and I want to enjoy it!

If you are someone who is feeling trapped, overwhelmed, lacklustre in life and you deeply want to discover your unique gifts, work with Lucia!

Lucia will guide you toward soul searching, then tangible results allowing you to own your power.

Jeff - MD Thoughtcraft, US, 40s

I've been looking for and thinking about doing some type of career coaching for a long time - too long probably. My work had felt kind of empty. And it was starting to scare me because, I'm pushing 50 and it didn't seem like a good place to be in for the rest of my career.

I've done things like this before and they've never quite stuck. But I've never done it one-on-one with someone. Having that outside perspective really helped me get an objective view of what my Superpowers are and how they really can help others and, and what value they bring to the table.

And now when I think about my my work future, I feel a lot more confidence in not only what I'm going to do, but that I can do it, that I can bring that to the table. There's so many more options that have opened up to me, now that I can see the objective value, and fun that I can have with the things that I do well.

I think if you're coming up until a point in your life and you're thinking, "I don't want the next 10 years to be like the last 10 years" or "I want the next ten years to be even better" or "I'm not totally satisfied", I would really recommend you talk to Lucia.

It's been real eye-opener for me. And so valuable to have someone who is not only an objective outsider, but someone who has studied this whole phenomenon and made this her life's mission.

She comes at it with not only with compassion and empathy, but also she knows what she's talking about.

Mike - FD, Surrey, 40s

A year ago I decided to invest properly in working out what I wanted to do with the last 15 years of my career journey. I worked with Lucia to help me straighten out some of the loops that I was going through that stopped me moving on.

When we had finished I had a clear idea of what I wanted to do which matched up with my values, my strengths and my preferences.

After making this investment I did nothing with it for a while until my current role became at risk. When I started to look for my next step all of the work with Lucia clicked into place, it made my next role search more targeted, my pitch stronger, my strengths more evident and my passion at interview clear.

Ina - MD, Switzerland, 40s

Even though you came highly recommended, I hesitated around the decision to work with you - to be honest, the price felt steep. But after some research, I realised it was the market rate for this type of personalised consulting.

In terms of research on your personally, I listened to several of your guest interviews on podcasts and I felt that you were business-minded yet real. Some of your comments resonated deeply with me and they closed the deal.

During the process, I felt that you really listened and dug deep into my answers. I felt engagement and a real desire to do a good job for me. Even though I felt some skepticism initially, I feel certain that you have found my Superpowers. I was very surprised by one - but it made SO much sense and the others made me feel validated and liberated.

I now feel inspired and ready to move on. I've thought for years that I have nothing left in me and that I'm totally disinterested in my work. You've made me realise that this is so far from the truth.

If I can achieve what I've achieved so far in a job I dislike, imagine what I can do in work that I love!"

Adrian - Technology, Gloucestershire, 50s

What felt like a crisis [my redundancy] last summer now feels like a golden opportunity to do what I now know I want to do.

We are often driven by fear…fear of change, of taking too many risks or of looking stupid. The big takeaway for me is that what I fear most is not doing what I really want to do. And I don’t fear that much else. The biggest failure is not to try.

On the horizon I can see the chance of real fulfillment and I’m having fun.

Jo - Nursing, London, 40s

I think I had an expectation that there would be a moment, where I’d have an epiphany, a moment when I’d discover “OMG, I’ve always wanted to be an X” and I felt a bit of a failure for not knowing the answer.

One of my major learnings is that this type of change is a process. It’s not about looking for that thunderclap moment. I can now see a direction I want to go in and a path towards it.

Pete - Business Owner, Ireland, 50s

My main takeaway from working with Lucia is the release of the blame or harshness I’ve attributed to myself around wrong career moves, situations or organisations I’ve found myself in. That de-coupling of emotion from the situation has been really helpful in allowing me to look at the kind of work that will allow me to operate at my best.

The field of opportunity has really opened up for me to use my talents in lots of different ways that could be much more fulfilling.

Lisa - HR Director - Gloucestershire, 50s

Sometimes in life we are lucky to experience serendipitous moments. For me such a moment was reading Lucia’s excellent book X-Change, that led me to get in touch, and from this it was very clear that Lucia was the perfect partner to work with on my second half reinvention. Lucia is a natural and talented coach, who has helped me cut through the noise, get clear, and work out options to move forward. I am someone who puts a lot of store in results, so Lucia’s approach is perfect for me. More than this, what I think really makes the difference is that Lucia is authentic, pragmatic, engaging and warm. I look forward to our sessions because they are positive and enjoyable.

My experience of working with Lucia has without doubt helped me strengthen my confidence. Her approach is refreshing because her guiding principles are about clarifying and appreciating strengths and it is through her that I have finally uncovered my superpowers and the confidence to get out there and make my second half even better than my first’.

The institutional ageism that exists in the recruiting of staff by large organisations is a very real phenomenon. Lucia was wonderful in helping me to shape my proposition, achieve the right mind set and secure new work in pastures new. I cannot recommend her enough!

Joanne - Social Media, Surrey, 40s

After feeling stuck in my role for some time, one weekend I devoured most of Lucia’s website and then dropped an email saying Helllpppp!!!!

And help is exactly what Lucia did, beyond anything I could have imagined. I signed up to Lucia’s Superpowers programme, a 1-1 series of sessions with some extremely deep-dive exercises in between that really get to the nub of the key things you need to be doing in your every day work to thrive and also the “kryptonite” you need to reduce as much as possible to let those superpowers rise to the surface. Before I even got to the mega 3 hour 1-1 with Lucia which I can only describe as your own long LP version of Desert Island Discs, I had found so many a-ha moments, career highlights I had forgotten that that I realised were at the heart of what gave me work-joy, how positive patterns of behaviour that had been ingrained as a part of me since childhood were now missing and how for me, work could never be “just a job” and that I had been trying to kid myself of that for a while.

By the time the whole programme was finished, not only did I have my amazingly detailed Superpowers document - I felt I had regained 3 things, my confidence, my vision and my sparkle and that was the one thing I had said to Lucia at the start that I was desperate to regain.

I have so much energy and so many ideas in my head. I also have the clarity to do what I do well with those ideas, to creatively think through them, to explore all the possibilities and then to start putting some of those ideas into realities.

Janice - Consulting, Ireland, 50s,

I was a natural sceptic about coaching / change enablers … I fear there are some charlatans in the business. Once we met I was reassured that you came with experience, a proven approach and were, well frankly, on a normal spectrum … “no weird floaty stuff here” I thought. Your midlife unstuck commentary really resonated with me … as someone who was counting down on a weekly basis how many working days I had left to go to meet my financial goals (over 650 days when we met). I knew I had to do something for my mental health and well being and, to be honest, stop wasting the time I have still been blessed with.

Everything on your website was exactly what I was thinking and feeling and when we spoke I had a strong sense that you understood what I was talking about

Coming off a well oiled treadmill after 30 years working in big IT projects, it takes a safe space and gentle encouragement to start to dream about the possibilities and find the words to describe that. An invaluable process.

I became open to the possibilities of what a new future could look like and really came to believe that achieving a new way of being was actually a real possibility. In the immediate period after taking voluntary redundancy, the benefits of the work we had done really stood me in good stead. I was offered out placement support when leaving my old organisation and I believe without really believing a “new me” was possible, I would have been off applying for jobs looking suspiciously like my old one. You have saved me from 650 working days of big IT project hell.

As well as the possibility of a new me, I am now taking steps to making that possibility a reality … the work we did in plotting out a course with timelines and options was really helpful.

I think anyone who is not entirely happy with their current working world would benefit from working with you … even if they are not imminently able to make a change, I think taking some time with you to mull over possibilities would be super helpful … it can take a wee while to realise and believe that a change is possible so I would say it is a very worthwhile investment in a more fulfilled and happy future.

Lucia, As you know, on 17th March 2020, the phone stopped ringing and my business died. It's half way through October and I thought you might like to know that I'm on track to DOUBLE LAST YEAR'S REVENUE!

Since working with you I feel a new confidence. Our work empowered me to redesign my business around my talents and to target new clients. I've gone from competing in a declining market with endless competition for ever-decreasing budgets...to standing out in a growing market! Thank you so much.
