“The product of self-worth is knowing that you still bring value, no matter what your position is in the company.”

What does it mean to be coached?

Coaching is an effective process that improves individual and team performance. The result of consistent coaching moves you from where you are now to where you want to be in just about any area.

As someone who focuses on both employers and job seekers, I understand the challenges that both parties face when it comes to hiring and job searching. This unique perspective allows me to provide coaching services that are tailored to the needs of both groups, helping employers and employees to achieve their goals more effectively.

For Companies / Organizations: I provide insight into the job seeker’s or employee’s perspective. By understanding what job seekers/ employees are looking for in a job and what motivates them, I deliver crafted training that is more appealing and to develop strategies that are more efficient and effective.

For Employees: I provide guidance on how to stand out and to present yourself in the best possible light to potential employers. By understanding what employers are looking for and what makes a candidate / employee stand out, I can embolden you to either develop what you have to offer or to make a strong impression.

Do you or does your organization need a coach?

No. However, no matter what profession you are in, everyone has areas where they can improve. That’s where coaching comes in – it provides tailored guidance to enhance individuals and teams identify their strengths and blind spots, and develop the confidence to succeed in their professional life.

I have gained a unique perspective on what makes a company successful, both from standpoint of an employee and from what a employer desires. Drawing on my personal experience from traveling and working within different organizational structures, I offer insights that can lead clients to a more positive and productive work environment.

Lapora was an absolutely exceptional speaker who truly engaged our audience with her dynamic and captivating presentation style. She commanded the stage with confidence and charisma, leaving a lasting impression on those in attendance. Not only was Lapora a pleasure to work with, but she also received rave reviews from the attendees of the event we were hosting. I highly recommend Lapora for any speaking engagement and am confident that she will deliver a top-notch performance every single time.

Her training skills in guidance and education really shines through as she speaks to her audience.

After being turned years of shifting to different organizations due to my life as military spouse, I started to see common themes in effective ways to grow teams. Since then, I’ve helped individuals and teams struggling to find methods that work.

One of the common themes I have noticed is that many times employees sell themselves short because they dont believe they are inadequate or ready “yet.” Spoiler alert, we will never be ready and everyone has value. Sometimes it’s a matter of how that is expressed.

When you have self-worth, you know you have value it shows in everything you do, including your work. It’s time every position highlights how they can bring value to mission. Because every time you sell yourself short, it’s costing the team, time and money.

One last thing...

I offer this service because my negative mindset affected what I did in my career many times. As a result, my low self-worth allowed previous rejections and disregards to create the feeling of being discounted in the workplace. I compared my career to others and limited myself. But, I have educated myself to adjust and change my mindset to value all of my abilities, no matter where my career may lead me. Increasing my self-worth has been a driving force in workplace performance. Self-worth improve life for my family.

If you are reading this, you may have a similar story. You or your teammates may feel like that can’t make the team any better, there are too many issues, too much , conflict, too many people not listening. But each of you have the power to create an impact. What you do with that power is up to you.

If you are struggling to increase workplace performance, retention, and mitigate workplace conflicts, it’s time to make some changes with some training and coaching.

My unique perspective as a coach who focuses on both employers and job seekers / employees allows me to provide valuable insights and advice to both parties, enhancing your approach to achieve your goals. If you’re looking for a coach who can help you navigate from either side of the table, I’m here.
