Chessie Jackson, NCAA Collegiate Head Coach, The College of New Jersey 

“Lauren’s executive coaching sessions have brought me back to my professional “why” and have helped me to find a purpose in my day-to-day work. Our time together exceeded my expectations of what executive coaching meant - Lauren was able to trigger a belief in myself that translated directly to results. She is a phenomenal listener and someone who has ample experiences in different realms to be able to give helpful feedback and advice. The questions that helped guide our conversations were always thoughtful and pertinent to my growth professionally and personally. I’m grateful for my time with Rise Above Coaching because Lauren helped me reinvigorate my love of coaching!”

“Lauren was able to cater workshops for our basketball program that were invaluable over the course of the season. We came together around our common mission, our identity, and the value of the experience because of the programming that Lauren put together. I know I speak for all of my athletes when I say that her work with our team created an environment of trust, open communication, and mutual respect - all important ingredients for a successful sports team. I would highly recommend Rise Above Coaching to any leader who works with a group of people, because Lauren has the experience of bringing groups together in a special way.”

I have become more intentional and thoughtful about my priorities and accountable to goals that would otherwise be lost or put aside in the normal day to day grind of work and life. Lauren is credible, and most importantly, extremely trustworthy. I would recommend Lauren to any professional striving to be the best version of themselves."

"Rise Above Coaching exceeded my expectations and helped me learn so much about my business and myself. Lauren was very easy to talk to and asked insightful questions that led me to think more creatively about problems I was facing. She was a great listener who made astute observations about me as a business owner and person that I had not previously realized. My time with her was incredibly useful and helped me sort through and process information in a new way so I could make better decisions moving forward. Working with Lauren was an unbelievable opportunity that gave me increased clarity and confidence, and in turn significantly impacted how I lead."
